There are sequences of directions such that, given any compact set K in R^n, the sequence of iterated Steiner symmetrals of K in these directions converges to a ball. However examples show that Steiner symmetrization along a sequence of…
Steiner symmetrization along n linearly independent directions transforms every compact subset of R^n into a set of finite perimeter.
This note reports the results of an undergraduate research project from the year 2013-14, concerning the convergence of iterated Steiner symmetrizations in the plane. The directions of symmetrization are chosen according to the Van der…
Steiner and Schwarz symmetrizations, and their most important relatives, the Minkowski, Minkowski-Blaschke, fiber, inner rotational, and outer rotational symmetrizations, are investigated. The focus is on the convergence of successive…
A countable dense set of directions is sufficient for Steiner symmetrization, but the order of directions matters.
We discuss a one-parameter family of transformations which changes sets and functions continuously into their (k,n)-Steiner symmetrizations. Our construction consists of two stages. First, we employ a continuous symmetrization introduced by…
In this paper, the asymptotic behavior of sequences of successive Steiner and Minkowski symmetrizations is investigated. We state an equivalence result between the convergences of those sequences for Minkowski and Steiner. Moreover, in the…
Steiner symmetrization is well known for its rounding and general convergence properties. We identify a whole family of symmetrizations sharing analogue behaviors: In fact we prove that all these symmetrizations share the same converging…
In this paper we will prove that for any planar measurable set of finite measure $M$, its successive Steiner symmetrizations with respect to the Kakutani-Fibonacci sequence of directions converge to the ball $M^*$ centered at the origin and…
Motivated by the central limit problem for convex bodies, we study normal approximation of linear functionals of high-dimensional random vectors with various types of symmetries. In particular, we obtain results for distributions which are…
We derive conditions under which random sequences of polarizations (two-point symmetrizations) converge almost surely to the symmetric decreasing rearrangement. The parameters for the polarizations are independent random variables whose…
The concept of an $i$-symmetrization is introduced, which provides a convenient framework for most of the familiar symmetrization processes on convex sets. Various properties of $i$-symmetrizations are introduced and the relations between…
Under continuity and recurrence assumptions, we prove that the iteration of successive partial symmetrizations that form a time-homogeneous Markov process, converges to a symmetrization. We cover several settings, including the…
The aim of this paper is to introduce a generalization of Steiner symmetrization in Euclidean space for spherical space, which is the dual of the Steiner symmetrization in hyperbolic space introduced by J. Schneider (Manuscripta Math. 60:…
We shall prove a convergence result relative to sequences of Minkowski symmetrals of general compact sets. In particular, we investigate the case when this process is induced by sequences of subspaces whose elements belong to a finite…
We study symmetrization procedures within the class $\mathcal S_n$ of \emph{ball-bodies}, i.e.\ intersections of unit Euclidean balls (equivalently, summands of the Euclidean unit ball, or $c$-convex sets via the $c$-duality $A\mapsto…
A set of sequences is said to converge simultaneously if there exists an infinite subset $H$ of the index set $\omega$ such that all sequences converge when restricted to $H$. We discuss simultaneous convergence of sequences in the same or…
A totally symmetric set is a finite subset of a group for which any permutation of the elements can be realized by conjugation in the ambient group. Such sets are rigid under homomorphisms, and so exert a great deal of control over the…
It is a classical fact, that given an arbitrary n-dimensional convex body, there exists an appropriate sequence of Minkowski symmetrizations (or Steiner symmetrizations), that converges in Hausdorff metric to a Euclidean ball. Here we…
The Petty projection inequality for sets of finite perimeter is proved. Our approach is based on Steiner symmetrization. Neither the affine Sobolev inequality nor the functional Minkowski problem is used in our proof. Moreover, for sets of…
