In this article we address the problem of computing the dimension of the space of plane curves of degree $d$ with $n$ general points of multiplicity $m$. A conjecture of Harbourne and Hirschowitz implies that when $d \geq 3m$, the dimension…

For a convex body $K\subset\R^n$ and $i\in\{1,...,n-1\}$, the function assigning to any $i$-dimensional subspace $L$ of $\R^n$, the $i$-dimensional volume of the orthogonal projection of $K$ to $L$, is called the $i$-th projection function…

From among $ {n \choose 3}$ triangles with vertices chosen from $n$ points in the unit square, let $T$ be the one with the smallest area, and let $A$ be the area of $T$. Heilbronn's triangle problem asks for the maximum value assumed by $A$…

We use a probabilistic interpretation of solid angles to generalize the well-known fact that the inner angles of a triangle sum to 180 degrees. For the 3-dimensional case, we show that the sum of the solid inner vertex angles of a…

The use of Cauchy's method in proving the well-known Euler formula is an object of many controversies. The purpose of this paper is to prove that the Cauchy's method applies for convex polyhedra and not only for them, but also for surfaces…

We study the surface area of an ellipsoid in n-dimensional Euclidean space as the function of the lengths of their major semi-axes. We write down an explicit formula as an integral over the unit sphere, use the formula to derive convexity…
