New Parallel Algorithms for Planarity Testing
… for planarity testing, both derived from the Boyer-Myrvold algorithm. First, we will present a divide-and-conquer approach, where the graph's edges are evenly distributed among worker threads. Each thread independently executes the sequential Boyer-Myrvold algorithm on its designated subgraph. …

Casimir Force in Non-Planar Geometric Configurations
… attractive. The repulsive Casimir force found by Boyer for a spherical shell is a special case requiring stringent material property of the sphere, as well as the specific boundary conditions for the wave modes inside and outside of the sphere. The necessary criteria in detecting Boyer's repulsive …

Positive Sasakian Structures on Links of Weighted Complete Intersection Singularities
… links of dimension 5 have been treated by Boyer, Galicki, Koll\'{a}r, Nakamaye, and others. This paper investigates isolated singularities of codimension 2 complete intersections with 5 dimensional links of positive index and provides a complete list up to degree 600, hence a complete (up …
