We prove, for the class of real locally convex spacesE that are continuously and linearly injectable into somec 0(), that every non-zero homomorphism on the algebraC (E) ofC -functions onE is given by a point evaluation at some point ofE. Furthermore, if every real-valuedC -function on the weak topology of a quasi-complete locally convex spaceE is bounded on a subsetA ofE, thenA is relatively weakly compact.  相似文献

A basic problem of finite packing and covering is to determine, for a given number ofk unit balls in Euclideand-spaceE d , (1) the minimal volume of all convex bodies into which thek balls can be packed and (2) the maximal volume of all convex bodies which can be covered by thek balls. In the sausage conjectures by L. Fejes Tóth and J. M. Wills it is conjectured that, for alld5, linear arrangements of thek balls are best possible. In the paper several partial results are given to support both conjectures. Furthermore, some relations between finite and infinite (space) packing and covering are investigated.This paper was written while the first named author was visiting the Forschungsinstitut für Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften at the University of Siegen.  相似文献

Let for positive integersj,k,d and convex bodiesK of Euclideand-spaceE d of dimension at leastj V j, k (K) denote the maximum of the intrinsic volumesV j (C) of those convex bodies whosej-skeleton skel j (C) can be covered withk translates ofK. Then thej-thk-covering density θ j,k (K) is the ratiok V j (K)/V j,k (K). In particular, θ d,k refers to the case of covering the entire convex bodiesC and the density is measured with respect to the volume while forj=d-1 the surface of the bodiesC is covered and accordingly the density is measured with respect to the surface area. The paper gives the estimate $$1 \leqslant \theta _{j,k} (K)< e (j + \sqrt {\pi /2} \sqrt {d - j} )< (d + 1) e$$ for thej-thk-covering density and some related results.  相似文献

Applications of random sampling in computational geometry,II   总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10  
We use random sampling for several new geometric algorithms. The algorithms are Las Vegas, and their expected bounds are with respect to the random behavior of the algorithms. These algorithms follow from new general results giving sharp bounds for the use of random subsets in geometric algorithms. These bounds show that random subsets can be used optimally for divide-and-conquer, and also give bounds for a simple, general technique for building geometric structures incrementally. One new algorithm reports all the intersecting pairs of a set of line segments in the plane, and requiresO(A+n logn) expected time, whereA is the number of intersecting pairs reported. The algorithm requiresO(n) space in the worst case. Another algorithm computes the convex hull ofn points inE d inO(n logn) expected time ford=3, andO(n [d/2]) expected time ford>3. The algorithm also gives fast expected times for random input points. Another algorithm computes the diameter of a set ofn points inE 3 inO(n logn) expected time, and on the way computes the intersection ofn unit balls inE 3. We show thatO(n logA) expected time suffices to compute the convex hull ofn points inE 3, whereA is the number of input points on the surface of the hull. Algorithms for halfspace range reporting are also given. In addition, we give asymptotically tight bounds for (k)-sets, which are certain halfspace partitions of point sets, and give a simple proof of Lee's bounds for high-order Voronoi diagrams.  相似文献

In this note we prove, for some classes of real locally convex spacesE including all complete Schwartz spaces, that every non-zero homomorphism on the algebraC (E) ofC -functions onE is given by a point evaluation at some point ofE.  相似文献

Bambah and Rogers proved that the area of a convex domain in the plane which can be covered byn translates of a given centrally symmetric convex domainC is at most (n–1)h(C)+a(C), whereh(C) denotes the area of the largest hexagon contained inC anda(C) stands for the area ofC. An improvement with a term of magnitude n is given here. Our estimate implies that ifC is not a parallelogram, then any covering of any convex domain by at least 26 translates ofC is less economic than the thinnest covering of the whole plane by translates ofC.  相似文献

We construct a family ofn disjoint convex set in d having (n/(d–1)) d–1 geometric permutations. As well, we complete the enumeration problem for geometric permutations of families of disjoint translates of a convex set in the plane, settle the case for cubes in d , and construct a family ofd+1 translates in d admitting (d+1)!/2 geometric permutations.This research was partly supported by NSERC Grants A3062, A5137, and A8761.  相似文献

For any two positive integersk, l and anyɛ>0 there exists anN(k, l, ɛ) so that given anyl convex bodiesC 1, …,C l symmetric about the origin inE n withnN there exists a subspaceE k so that eachC i intersectsE k, or has a projection intoE k, in a set which is nearly spherical (asphericity <ɛ). The measure of the totality ofE k which intersect a given body inE n in a nearly ellipsoidal set is considered and an affine invariant measure is introduced for that purpose.  相似文献

A collection ofn setsA 1, ...,A n is said to beindependent provided every set of the formX 1 ... X n is nonempty, where eachX i is eitherA i orA i c . We give a simple characterization for when translates of a given box form an independent set inR d. We use this to show that the largest number of such boxes forming an independent set inR d is given by 3d/2 ford2. This settles in the negative a conjecture of Grünbaum (1975), which states that the maximum size of an independent collection of sets homothetic to a fixed convex setC inR d isd+1. It also shows that the bound of 2d of Rényiet al. (1951) for the maximum number of boxes (not necessarily translates of a given one) with sides parallel to the coordinate axes in an independent collection inR d can be improved for these special collections.Daniel Q.

For a collection C of convex bodies let h(C) be the minimum number m with the property that every element K of C can be covered by m or fewer smaller homothetic copies of K. Denote by C d * the collection of all duals of cyclic d-polytopes, d 2. We show that h(C 2k * )=(k +1)2 for any k 2. We also prove the inequalities (d+1) (d+3)/4 h(C d * ) (d+1) 2/2$ for any d 2.  相似文献

For a setS of points in the plane, letd 1>d 2>... denote the different distances determined byS. Consider the graphG(S, k) whose vertices are the elements ofS, and two are joined by an edge iff their distance is at leastd k . It is proved that the chromatic number ofG(S, k) is at most 7 if |S|constk 2. IfS consists of the vertices of a convex polygon and |S|constk 2, then the chromatic number ofG(S, k) is at most 3. Both bounds are best possible. IfS consists of the vertices of a convex polygon thenG(S, k) has a vertex of degree at most 3k – 1. This implies that in this case the chromatic number ofG(S, k) is at most 3k. The best bound here is probably 2k+1, which is tight for the regular (2k+1)-gon.  相似文献

Ind-dimensional euclidean spaceE d letP be a lattice packing of subsets ofE d , and letH be ak-dimensional linear subspace ofE d (0<k<d). Then,P induces a packing inH consisting of all setsPH withPP. The relationship between the density of this packing inH and the density ofP is investigated. A result from the theory of uniform distribution of linear forms is used to prove an integral formula that enables one to evaluate the density of the induced packing inH (under suitable assumptions on the sets ofP and the functionals used to define the densities). It is shown that this result leads to explicit formulas for the averages of the induced densities under the rotation ofH. If the densities are taken with respect to the mean cross-sectional measures of convex bodies one obtains analogues of the integral geometric intersection formulas of Crofton.Dedicated to Professor E.

We call a convex subsetN of a convexd-polytopePE d ak-nucleus ofP ifN meets everyk-face ofP, where 0<k<d. We note thatP has disjointk-nuclei if and only if there exists a hyperplane inE d which bisects the (relative) interior of everyk-face ofP, and that this is possible only if [d+2/2]kd–1. Our main results are that any convexd-polytope with at most 2d–1 vertices (d3) possesses disjoint (d–1)-nuclei and that 2d–1 is the largest possible number with this property. Furthermore, every convexd-polytope with at most 2d facets (d3) possesses disjoint (d–1)-nuclei, 2d cannot be replaced by 2d+2, and ford=3, six cannot be replaced by seven.Partially supported by Hung.

It is proved that every convex bodyC inR n can be approximated by a sequenceC k of convex bodies, whose boundary is the intersection of a level set of a homogeneous polynomial of degree 2k and a hyperplane. The Minkowski functional ofC k is given explictly. Some further nice properties of the approximantsC k are proved.Supported in part by BSF and Erwin Schrödinger Auslandsstipendium J0630.  相似文献
