Three geometric inequalities for a simplex

In this paper, we obtain three new geometric inequalities for ann-dimensional simplex in then-dimensional Euclidean spaceE ⁿ . As special cases we find two known inequalities from L. Fejes Tóth and M. S. Klamkin, respectively.     

Feuerbach's relation and Ptolemy's theorem in R n

Ptolemy's equality for four points on a circle is related to a Feuerbach-type area relation. This suggested an extension of Ptolemy's inequality to a Feuerbach type volume relation between simplexes formed from n+2 points in R ⁿ (n2). Extensions of the Möbius-Neuberg and Pompeiu Theorems in R ² are given for R ⁿ . Ptolemy's inequality is also extended to convex n-gons in R ² yielding an extension of Fuhrmann's hexagon theorem to 2n-gons in R ² (n3).     

The generalized tilt formula

A convex hull construction in Minkowski space defines a canonical cell decomposition for a cusped hyperbolicn-manifold. An algorithm to compute the canonical cell decomposition uses the concept of the tilt of ann-simplex relative to each of its (n–1)-dimensional faces. An essential tool for computing tilts is the tilt theorem. The tilt theorem was previously known only in dimensionsn3, and the proof was needlessly complicated. Here we offer a new, simplified proof which applies in all dimensions. We also offer a second geometric interpretation of the tilt.

Constructing infinite families of regular incidence (quasi-)polytopes

Given a regular incidence (quasi-)polytopeP of type {a ₁,a ₂, ...,a _n–1} and a function on its directed edges satisfying certain conditions, we construct for everym 2 a regular incidence (quasi-)polytope of type {ma ₁,a ₂, ...,a _n–1} with the same vertex figure asP.

A case of the 3-dimensional problem of Apollonius

Summary Inn-dimensions the problem of Apollonius is to determine the (n–1)-spheres tangent ton+1 given (n–1)-spheres. In case no two of the given (n–1)-spheres intersect and no three have the property that one separates the other two, the expected number of solutions is 2 ⁿ⁺¹. Whenn=2 this special problem does indeed always have 8 solutions, but for higher dimensions it turns out that the number of solutions becomes dependent on the relative size and location of the given (n–1)-spheres. We describe in detail the dependence of the number of solutions in the case of the 3-dimensional problem of Apollonius on the 6 inversively invariant parameters that describe configurations of 4 given spheres. We find that the number of solutions, if finite, can be any integer from 0 to 16 and, if infinite, can be a one-, two- or three-fold infinity where the stated multiplicity refers to the number of one-parameter families of solutions that are present.     

The n-Wave Procedure and Dimensional Regularization for the Scalar Field in a Homogeneous Isotropic Space

We obtain expressions for the vacuum expectations of the energy–momentum tensor of the scalar field with an arbitrary coupling to the curvature in an N-dimensional homogeneous isotropic space for the vacuum determined by diagonalization of the Hamiltonian. We generalize the n-wave procedure to N-dimensional homogeneous isotropic space–time. Using the dimensional regularization, we investigate the geometric structure of the terms subtracted from the vacuum energy–momentum tensor in accordance with the n-wave procedure. We show that the geometric structures of the first three subtractions in the n-wave procedure and in the effective action method coincide. We show that all the subtractions in the n-wave procedure in a four- and five-dimensional homogeneous isotropic space correspond to a renormalization of the coupling constants of the bare gravitational Lagrangian.     

Exceptional directions for a convex body

Let K be a convex body in Rⁿ andO be a point inside K. We examine the Grassmann manifold of k-planes passing throughO. We take as exceptional the planes intersecting K along a body having at least one (k – 1)-dimensional face such that it does not have points inside the hyperfaces of body K. We prove that in the Grassmann manifold G _k ⁿ the set of such exceptional planes is of measure zero.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 20, No. 3, pp. 365–371, September, 1976.The author thanks V.

Embeddings on a boolean cube

In this paper, we characterize a class of graphs which can be embedded on a boolean cube. Some of the graphs in this class are identified with the well known graphs such asmulti-dimensional mesh of trees, tree of meshes, etc. We suggest (i) an embedding of anr-dimensional mesh of trees ofn ^r (r+1)–rn ^r–1 nodes on a boolean cube of (2n) ^r nodes, and (ii) an embedding of a tree of meshes with 2n ² logn+n ² nodes on a boolean cube withn ² exp₂ (log (2 logn+1)]) nodes.

Manifold structures on abstract regular polytopes

Summary Abstract regular polytopes are complexes which generalize the classical regular polytopes. This paper discusses the topology of abstract regular polytopes whose vertex-figures are spherical and whose facets are topologically distinct from balls. The case of toroidal facets is particularly interesting and was studied earlier by Coxeter, Shephard and Grünbaum. Ann-dimensional manifold is associated with many abstract (n + 1)-polytopes. This is decomposed inton-dimensional manifolds-with-boundary (such as solid tori). For some polytopes with few faces the topological type or certain topological invariants of these manifolds are determined. For 4-polytopes with toroidal facets the manifolds include the 3-sphereS ³, connected sums of handlesS ¹ × S ² , euclidean and spherical space forms, and other examples with non-trivial fundamental group.     

n-Cubes inscribed in simplices

H. Bailey and D. DeTemple [1] considered some properties of squares inscribed in triangles. In this article we generalise their results to the n-dimensional space.     

How many atoms can be defined by boxes?

We study the functionb(n, d), the maximal number of atoms defined byn d-dimensional boxes, i.e. parallelopipeds in thed-dimensional Euclidean space with sides parallel to the coordinate axes. We characterize extremal interval families definingb(n, 1)=2n-1 atoms and we show thatb(n, 2)=2n ²-6n+7. We prove that for everyd, exists and . Moreover, we obtainb*(3)=8/9.     

Asymptotic expansion formula for Bernstein polynomials defined on a simplex

In this paper we give a complete expansion formula for Bernstein polynomials defined on ans-dimensional simplex. This expansion for a smooth functionf represents the Bernstein polynomialB _n (f) as a combination of derivatives off plus an error term of orderO(n^–s ).Communicated by Wolfgang Dahmen.     

Extremum Problem for Periodic Functions Supported in a Ball

We consider the Turan n-dimensional extremum problem of finding the value of A_n(hB ⁿ ) which is equal to the maximum zero Fourier coefficient of periodic functions f supported in the Euclidean ball hB ⁿ of radius h, having nonnegative Fourier coefficients, and satisfying the condition f(0)= 1. This problem originates from applications to number theory. The case of A₁([–h,h]) was studied by S. B. Stechkin. For A_n(hB ⁿ we obtain an asymptotic series as h 0 whose leading term is found by solving an n-dimensional extremum problem for entire functions of exponential type.

The Inequality 8pg < μ for Hypersurface Two-dimensional Isolated Double Points

The Milnor number μ and the geometric genus p_g of normal 2-dimensional double points are studied by using Zariski's canonical resolution. By using formulas due to E. HORIKAWA and H. LAUFER, we represent μ ? 8p_g in terms of the number of blowing-ups along ?¹ and the number l of ?even”? components in the resolution process. A key point of our arguments is the fact that if l is small then the resolution process is restricted very much. For rational double points and double points with p_a = 1, each classes are characterized by numerical invariants appearing in this resolution process. For the case p_a = 1, we can make our inequality sharper and can prove 12 · p_g ? 3 ≤ μ. This is an another proof of Xu-Yau's inequality for the singularity with p_a = 1 in our situation.
