We prove a pointwise version of the multi-dimensional central limit theorem for convex bodies. Namely, let X be an isotropic random vector in R^n with a log-concave density. For a typical subspace E in R^n of dimension n^c, consider the…

Convex geometries are closure systems satisfying the anti-exchange axiom. Every finite convex geometry can be embedded into a convex geometry of finitely many points in an n-dimensional space equipped with a convex hull operator, by the…

Recently, Kothari et al.\ gave an algorithm for testing the surface area of an arbitrary set $A \subset [0, 1]^n$. Specifically, they gave a randomized algorithm such that if $A$'s surface area is less than $S$ then the algorithm will…

Solving a long-standing open question in convex geometry, we will show that typical convex surfaces contain points of infinite curvature in all tangent directions. To prove this, we use an easy curvature definition imitating the idea of…

In 1944, Santal\'o asked about the average number of normals through a point of a given convex body. Since then, numerous results appeared in the literature about this problem. The aim of this paper is to give a concise summary of these…

We geometrically analyze the problem of estimating parameters related to the shape and size of a two-dimensional target object on the plane by using randomly distributed distance sensors whose locations are unknown. Based on the analysis…

In this paper we present several results on the expected complexity of a convex hull of $n$ points chosen uniformly and independently from a convex shape. (i) We show that the expected number of vertices of the convex hull of $n$ points,…

In this paper, we extend the previous convergence results for the generalized alternating projection method applied to subspaces in [arXiv:1703.10547] to hold also for smooth manifolds. We show that the algorithm locally behaves similarly…

We investigate metric projections and distance functions referring to convex bodies in finite-dimensional normed spaces. For this purpose we identify the vector space with its dual space by using, instead of the usual identification via the…

This note conducts a comparative study of some approximating properties of the metric projection, generalized projection, and generalized metric projection in uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach spaces. We prove that the inverse…

For a finite set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, let $\Delta(A)$ denote the spread of $A$, which is the ratio of the maximum pairwise distance to the minimum pairwise distance. For a positive integer $n$, let $\gamma_d(n)$ denote the largest…
