The list is in chronological order, so, if you're interested
in my most recent work, start at the end!
Other lists on my
webpage
give journal articles etc., but
I recommend the present list since it is a superset of those other lists
and has hyperlinks to the electronic papers.
Numbers 1-60 were NEC Research Institute Technical Reports during 1991-2001
but I intend to continue the list beyond any connection to NECI. I
also intend to link to this, comments, referee reports good or bad,
updates, errata, etc.

It turns out that the "sausage" point set we discuss
in this paper was invented previously;
[H.S.M.Coxeter: The simplicial helix and the equation tan Ntheta = N tan theta,
Canad. Math. Bull. 28,4 (1985) 385-393]
ascribes it to Buckminster Fuller and says it could have
architectural applications as a "strong and attractive pillar."
These people had no idea of its properties
relating to Steiner trees.
