Positions of convex bodies associated to extremal problems and isotropic measures

We show that there are close relations between extremal problems in dual Brunn-Minkowski theory and isotropic-type properties for some Borel measures on the sphere. The methods we use allow us to obtain similar results in the context of Firey-Brunn-Minkowski theory. We also study reverse inequalities for dual mixed volumes which are related with classical positions, such as ?-position or isotropic position.     

Integral geometry and geometric inequalities in hyperbolic space

Using results from integral geometry, we find inequalities involving mean curvature integrals of convex hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space. Such inequalities generalize the Minkowski formulas for euclidean convex sets.     

Capacities, surface area, and radial sums

A dual capacitary Brunn-Minkowski inequality is established for the (n−1)-capacity of radial sums of star bodies in Rn. This inequality is a counterpart to the capacitary Brunn-Minkowski inequality for the p-capacity of Minkowski sums of convex bodies in Rn, 1?p<n, proved by Borell, Colesanti, and Salani. When n?3, the dual capacitary Brunn-Minkowski inequality follows from an inequality of Bandle and Marcus, but here a new proof is given that provides an equality condition. Note that when n=3, the (n−1)-capacity is the classical electrostatic capacity. A proof is also given of both the inequality and a (different) equality condition when n=2. The latter case requires completely different techniques and an understanding of the behavior of surface area (perimeter) under the operation of radial sum. These results can be viewed as showing that in a sense (n−1)-capacity has the same status as volume in that it plays the role of its own dual set function in the Brunn-Minkowski and dual Brunn-Minkowski theories.     

Quotient functions of dual quermassintegrals

Abstract

Motivated by the notion of volume difference functions, we introduce quotient functions of dual quermassintegrals and establish Brunn-Minkowski type inequalities for them, which have several recent results as special cases.

Strong conical hull intersection property, bounded linear regularity, Jameson’s property (G), and error bounds in convex optimization

The strong conical hull intersection property and bounded linear regularity are properties of a collection of finitely many closed convex intersecting sets in Euclidean space. These fundamental notions occur in various branches of convex optimization (constrained approximation, convex feasibility problems, linear inequalities, for instance). It is shown that the standard constraint qualification from convex analysis implies bounded linear regularity, which in turn yields the strong conical hull intersection property. Jameson’s duality for two cones, which relates bounded linear regularity to property (G), is re-derived and refined. For polyhedral cones, a statement dual to Hoffman’s error bound result is obtained. A sharpening of a result on error bounds for convex inequalities by Auslender and Crouzeix is presented. Finally, for two subspaces, property (G) is quantified by the angle between the subspaces. Received October 1, 1997 / Revised version received July 21, 1998? Published online June 11, 1999     

The (p,q)-mixed geominimal surface areas1

Abstract

The (p, q)-mixed geominimal surface areas are introduced. A special case of the new concept is the L_p geominimal surface area introduced by Lutwak. Related inequalities, such as a?ne isoperimetric inequality, monotonous inequality, cyclic inequality, and Brunn-Minkowski inequality, are established. These new inequalities strengthen some well-known inequalities related to the L_p geominimal surface area.     

Some inequalities for Lp radial Blaschke-Minkowski homomorphisms1

The notion of radial Blaschke-Minkowski homomorphisms was presented by Schuster. Afterwards, Wang et al. introduced L_p radial Blaschke-Minkowski homomorphisms. In this paper, associated with L_p-dual a?ne surface areas, we establish some inequalities including the Brunn-Minkowski type inequality, cyclic inequality and monotonic inequalities, and give an a?rmative answer and a negative answer of Busemann-Petty problem for the L_p radial Blaschke-Minkowski homomorphisms.     

Brunn-Minkowski inequalities for variational functionals and related problems

Recently, several inequalities of Brunn-Minkowski type have been proved for well-known functionals in the Calculus of Variations, e.g. the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian, the Newton capacity, the torsional rigidity and generalizations of these examples. In this paper, we add new contributions to this topic: in particular, we establish equality conditions in the case of the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian and of the torsional rigidity, and we prove a Brunn-Minkowski inequality for another class of variational functionals. Moreover, we describe the links between Brunn-Minkowski type inequalities and the resolution of Minkowski type problems.     

INEQUALITIES FOR MIXED INTERSECTION BODIES

In this paper, some properties of mixed intersection bodies are given, and inequalities from the dual Brunn-Minkowski theory (such as the dual Minkowski inequality, the dual Aleksandrov-Fenchel inequalities and the dual Brunn-Minkowski inequalities) are established for mixed intersection bodies.

On switching paths polyhedra

A class of integer polyhedra with totally dual integral (tdi) systems is proposed, which generalizes and unifies the “Switching Paths Polyhedra” of Hoffman (introduced in his generalization of Max Flow-Min Cut) and such polyhedra as the convex hull of (the incidence vectors of) all “path-closed sets” of an acyclic digraph, or the convex hull of all sets partitionable intok path-closed sets. As an application, new min-max theorems concerning the mentioned sets are given. A general lemma on when a tdi system of inequalities is box tdi is also given and used.     

Characterization of set‐valued conditional expectation

For an essentially bounded closed‐convex‐nonempty set‐valued random variable, it is shown that the conditional expectation is characterized by its integrals over the sets of the associated σ ‐field. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Partially finite convex programming,Part I: Quasi relative interiors and duality theory

We study convex programs that involve the minimization of a convex function over a convex subset of a topological vector space, subject to a finite number of linear inequalities. We develop the notion of the quasi relative interior of a convex set, an extension of the relative interior in finite dimensions. We use this idea in a constraint qualification for a fundamental Fenchel duality result, and then deduce duality results for these problems despite the almost invariable failure of the standard Slater condition. Part II of this work studies applications to more concrete models, whose dual problems are often finite-dimensional and computationally tractable.     

On closed convex sets without boundary rays and asymptotes

We study in finite-dimensional spaces the class of closed convex sets without boundary rays and asymptotes, denoted by and introduced by D. Gale and V. Klee. These sets, not necessarily bounded, enjoy many properties satisfied by compacts sets. New properties of this class are given and convergence analysis of this class is investigated. We also introduce the class of closed convex proper functions which have an epigraph in and we give some properties of these functions.     

A class of bounds for convex bodies in Hilbert space

We extend to infinite dimensions a class of bounds forL _p metrics of finite-dimensional convex bodies. A generalization to arbitrary increasing convex functions is done simultaneously. The main tool is the use of Gaussian measure to effect a normalization for varying dimension. At a point in the proof we also invoke a strong law of large numbers for random sets to produce a rotational averaging.Supported in part by ONR Grant N0014-90-J-1641 and NSF Grant DMS-9002665.
