Topology of the hyperspace of convex bodies of constant width

The hyperspace of all convex bodies of constant width in Euclidean spaceR ⁿ ,n≥2, is proved to be homeomorphic to a contractibleQ-manifold (Q denotes the Hilbert cube). The proof makes use of an explicitly constructed retraction of the entire hyperspace of convex bodies on the hyperspace of convex bodies of constant width.

Minimum Area of a Set of Constant Width in the Hyperbolic Plane

On Gaussian Marginals of Uniformly Convex Bodies

Recently, Bo’az Klartag showed that arbitrary convex bodies have Gaussian marginals in most directions. We show that Klartag’s quantitative estimates may be improved for many uniformly convex bodies. These include uniformly convex bodies with power type 2, and power type p>2 with some additional type condition. In particular, our results apply to all unit-balls of subspaces of quotients of L _p for 1<p<∞. The same is true when L _p is replaced by S _p ^m , the l _p -Schatten class space. We also extend our results to arbitrary uniformly convex bodies with power type p, for 2≤p<4. These results are obtained by putting the bodies in (surprisingly) non-isotropic positions and by a new concentration of volume observation for uniformly convex bodies.

Thin sets of constant width

We prove that every Banach space which admits an unconditional basis can be renormed to contain a constant width set with empty interior, thus guaranteeing, for the first time, existence of such sets in a reflexive space. In the isometric case we prove that normal structure is characterized by the property that the class of diametrically complete sets and the class of sets with constant radius from the boundary coincide.

when either $\nu \wedge \omega =0$ or $\nu ?\omega =0$ on ?Ω.

Asymptotic shape of a random polytope in a convex body

Let K be an isotropic convex body in and let Z_q(K) be the L_q-centroid body of K. For every N>n consider the random polytope K_N:=conv{x₁,…,x_N} where x₁,…,x_N are independent random points, uniformly distributed in K. We prove that a random K_N is “asymptotically equivalent” to Z_[ln(N/n)](K) in the following sense: there exist absolute constants ρ₁,ρ₂>0 such that, for all and all NN(n,β), one has:

(i) K_Nc(β)Z_q(K) for every qρ₁ln(N/n), with probability greater than 1−c₁exp(−c₂N^1−βn^β).

(ii) For every qρ₂ln(N/n), the expected mean width of K_N is bounded by c₃w(Z_q(K)).

As an application we show that the volume radius |K_N|^1/n of a random K_N satisfies the bounds for all Nexp(n).

Some new convergent sequences and inequalities of Euler's constant

Stability of the Minkowski Measure of Asymmetry for Convex Bodies

Given a convex body $C\subset R^n$ (i.e., a compact convex set with nonempty interior), for $x\in$ {\it int}$(C)$, the interior, and a hyperplane $H$ with $x\in H$, let $H_1,H_2$ be the two support hyperplanes of $C$ parallel to $H$. Let $r(H, x)$ be the ratio, not less than 1, in which $H$ divides the distance between $H_1,H_2$. Then the quantity $${\it As}(C):=\inf_{x\in {\it int}(C)}\,\sup_{H\ni x}\,r(H,x)$$ is called the Minkowski measure of asymmetry of $C$. {\it As}$(\cdot)$ can be viewed as a real-valued function defined on the family of all convex bodies in $R^n$. It has been known for a long time that {\it As}$(\cdot)$ attains its minimum value 1 at all centrally symmetric convex bodies and maximum value $n$ at all simplexes. In this paper we discuss the stability of the Minkowski measure of asymmetry for convex bodies. We give an estimate for the deviation of a convex body from a simplex if the corresponding Minkowski measure of asymmetry is close to its maximum value. More precisely, the following result is obtained: Let $C\subset R^n$ be a convex body. If {\it As}$(C)\ge n-\varepsilon$ for some $0\le \varepsilon < 1/8(n+1),$ then there exists a simplex $S_0$ formed by $n+1$ support hyperplanes of $C$, such that $$(1+8(n+1)\varepsilon)^{-1}S_0\subset C\subset S_0,$$ where the homethety center is the (unique) Minkowski critical point of $C$. So $$d_{{\rm BM}}(C,S)\le 1+8(n+1)\varepsilon$$ holds for all simplexes $S$, where $d_{{\rm BM}}(\cdot,\cdot)$ denotes the Banach-Mazur distance.

Parameter identification in nonlocal nonlinear evolution equations

We develop an approximation framework for identifying parameters in a general class of nonautonomous, nonlocal and nonlinear evolution equations. After establishing existence and uniqueness of solutions, we present a convergence theory for Galerkin approximations to inverse problems involving these equations. Our approach relies on the theory of maximal monotone operators in Banach spaces. An application to a nonautonomous nonlinear integral equation arising in heat flow is also discussed.     

Behavior of the constant in Korenblum's maximum principle

Let A^p (??) (p ≥ 1) be the Bergman space over the open unit disk ?? in the complex plane. Korenblum's maximum principle states that there is an absolute constant c ∈ (0, 1) (may depend on p), such that whenever |f (z)| ≤ |g (z)| (f, g ∈ A^p (??)) in the annulus c < |z | < 1, then ∥f ≤ ∥g ∥. For p ≥ 1, let c_p be the largest value of c for which Korenblum's maximum principle holds. In this note we prove that c_p → 1 as p → ∞. Thus we give a positive answer of a question of Hinkkanen.

On the Constant Metric Dimension of Generalized Petersen Graphs P（n, 4）

In this paper,we consider the family of generalized Petersen graphs P(n,4).We prove that the metric dimension of P(n,4) is 3 when n ≡ 0(mod 4),and is 4 when n = 4k + 3(k is even).For n ≡ 1,2(mod 4) and n = 4k + 3(k is odd),we prove that the metric dimension of P(n,4) is bounded above by 4.This shows that each graph of the family of generalized Petersen graphs P(n,4)has constant metric dimension.     

Percolation of arbitrary words in one dimension

We consider a type of long‐range percolation problem on the positive integers, motivated by earlier work of others on the appearance of (in)finite words within a site percolation model. The main issue is whether a given infinite binary word appears within an iid Bernoulli sequence at locations that satisfy certain constraints. We settle the issue in some cases, and we provide partial results in others. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct. Alg., 2010
