We provide a sharp lower bound for the perimeter of the inner parallel sets of a convex body $\Omega$. The bound depends only on the perimeter and inradius $r$ of the original body and states that \[|\partial\Omega_t| \geq…

The object of our investigation is a point that gives the maximum value of a potential with a strictly decreasing radially symmetric kernel. It defines a center of a body in Rm. When we choose the Riesz kernel or the Poisson kernel as the…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ ($n \ge 2$). In this work, we prove that if there exists an integrable function $f$ such that it's Radon transform over $(n-1)$-dimensional hyperplanes intersecting the domain…

An $r^{\an}$-center of a compact body $\Om$ in an $n$ dimensional Euclidean space is a point that gives an extremal value of the regularized Riesz potential, which is the (Hadamard regularization of) integration on $\Om$ of the distance…

We consider the punctured plane with volume density $|x|^\alpha$ and perimeter density $|x|^\beta$. We show that centred balls are uniquely isoperimetric for indices $(\alpha,\beta)$ which satisfy the conditions $\alpha-\beta+1>0$,…

We say two $\delta$-tubes (dimension $\delta\times\cdots\times\delta\times1$) in $\mathbb{R}^n$ are essentially distinct if the measure of their intersection is smaller than a half of a single $\delta$-tube. For a collection of essentially…

It is proved that every convex body in the plane has a point such that the union of the body and its image under reflection in the point is convex. If the body is not centrally symmetric, then it has, in fact, three affinely independent…

We investigate centers of a body (the closure of a bounded open set) defined as maximum points of potentials. In particular, we study centers defined by the Riesz potential and by Poisson's integral. These centers, in general, depend on…

We give a variety of uniqueness results for minimal ellipsoids circumscribing and maximal ellipsoids inscribed into a convex body. Uniqueness follows from a convexity or concavity criterion on the function used to measure the size of the…

Let P_1 and P_2 be two sets of points in the plane, so that P_1 is contained in a line L_1, P_2 is contained in a line L_2, and L_1 and L_2 are neither parallel nor orthogonal. Then the number of distinct distances determined by the pairs…

We prove a theorem on the relationships between the lengths of sides of a spherical quadrilateral with three right angles. They are analogous to the relationships in the Lambert quadrilateral in the hyperbolic plane. We apply this theorem…

We examine the equation \[\Delta^2 u = \lambda f(u) \qquad \Omega, \] with either Navier or Dirichlet boundary conditions. We show some uniqueness results under certain constraints on the parameter $ \lambda$. We obtain similar results for…

Let $\mathbb{S} \subset \mathbb{C}$ be the circle in the plane, and let $\Omega: \mathbb{S} \to \mathbb{S}$ be an odd bi-Lipschitz map with constant $1+\delta_\Omega$, where $\delta_\Omega>0$ is small. Assume also that $\Omega$ is twice…

We prove sharp inequalities for the average number of affine diameters through the points of a convex body $K$ in ${\mathbb R}^n$. These inequalities hold if $K$ is either a polytope or of dimension two. An example shows that the proof…

We prove that the length of the projection of the vector joining the centers of mass of a convex body on the plane and of its boundary to an arbitrary direction does not exceed $\frac{1}{6}$ of the body width in this direction. It follows…

In an $n$-dimensional normed space every bounded set has a unique circumball if and only if every set of cardinality two has a unique circumball and if and only if the unit ball of the space is strictly convex. When the symmetry of the norm…

We prove that if $N$ points lie in convex position in the plane then they determine $\Omega(N^{5/4})$ distinct angles, provided that the points do not lie on a common circle. This is derived from a more general claim that if $N$ points in…

Let $n\geq 3$, $0\le m<\frac{n-2}{n}$, $\rho_1>0$, $\beta>\beta_0^{(m)}=\frac{m\rho_1}{n-2-nm}$, $\alpha_m=\frac{2\beta+\rho_1}{1-m}$ and $\alpha=2\beta+\rho_1$. For any $\lambda>0$, we prove the uniqueness of radially symmetric solution…

The aim of this article is to describe necessary and sufficient conditions for simplicity of Ore extension rings, with an emphasis on differential polynomial rings. We show that a differential polynomial ring, R[x;id,\delta], is simple if…

A theorem of Meyer and Reisner characterizes ellipsoids by the collinearity of centroids of parallel sections: if $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ is a convex body such that for every $n$-dimensional subspace $M\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ the…
