A convex pentagonal tile is a convex pentagon that admits a monohedral tiling. We show that a convex pentagonal tile that admits a periodic tiling has a property in which the sum of three internal angles of the pentagon is equal to…

The intersection $L$ of two different non-opposite hemispheres $G$ and $H$ of a $d$-dimensional sphere $S^d$ is called a lune. By the thickness of $L$ we mean the distance of the centers of the $(d-1)$-dimensional hemispheres bounding $L$.…

The intrinsic volumes are measures of the content of a convex body. This paper uses probabilistic and information-theoretic methods to study the sequence of intrinsic volumes of a convex body. The main result states that the intrinsic…

Start with Gott (2019)'s envelope polyhedron (Squares-4 around a point): a unit cube missing its top and bottom faces. Stretch by a factor of 2 in the vertical direction so its sides become (2x1 unit) rectangles. This has 8 faces (4…

We study fully convex polygons with a given area, and variable perimeter length on square and hexagonal lattices. We attach a weight t^m to a convex polygon of perimeter m and show that the sum of weights of all polygons with a fixed area s…

Quadratic points of a surface in the projective 3-space are the points which can be exceptionally well approximated by a quadric. They are also singularities of a 3-web in the elliptic part and of a line field in the hyperbolic part of the…

Let a three-dimensional hyperbolic polyhedron $\mathcal P$ have finite volume $\mathrm{vol}(\mathcal P)$ and a finite number of vertices $\mathrm{ver}(\mathcal P)$. We call its normalized volume the quantity $\omega(\mathcal P) =…

Credal sets are one of the most important models for describing probabilistic uncertainty. They usually arise as convex sets of probabilistic models compatible with judgments provided in terms of coherent lower previsions or more specific…

We compute exactly the mean perimeter and the mean area of the convex hull of a $2$-d Brownian motion of duration $t$ and diffusion constant $D$, in the presence of resetting to the origin at a constant rate $r$. We show that for any $t$,…

In the previous paper, Max/Min Puzzles in Geometry III, we searched for the smallest area triangle which contained a regular unit polygon (Square, Pentagon, Hexagon). In this paper we will work in 3-dimensions, and search for the smallest…

A polyhedron in Euclidean 3-space is called a regular polyhedron of index 2 if it is combinatorially regular but "fails geometric regularity by a factor of 2"; its combinatorial automorphism group is flag-transitive but its geometric…

The idea of standardised co-ordinates in three-dimensional affine space is defined, by way of the Standard tetrahedron. By performing an affine map on a general tetrahedron, we may replace the study of a general tetrahedron over a specific…

Let $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ be i.i.d.\ random points in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space sampled according to one of the following probability densities: $$ f_{d,\beta} (x) = \text{const} \cdot (1-\|x\|^2)^{\beta}, \quad \|x\|\leq 1, \quad…

The notion of ball convexity, considered in finite dimensional real Banach spaces, is a natural and useful extension of usual convexity; one replaces intersections of half-spaces by suitable intersections of balls. A subset $S$ of a normed…

The notion of a rough two-dimensional (convex) body is introduced, and to each rough body there is assigned a measure on $\TTT^3$ describing billiard scattering on the body. The main result is characterization of the set of measures…

We consider a random variable expressed as the Euclidean distance between an arbitrary point and a random variable uniformly distributed in a closed and bounded set of a three-dimensional Euclidean space. Four cases are considered for this…

In this article we will consider average angles of triangle, which share the same side with regular polygons. In particular we will count average angles in the triangle, which share the same bottom side with a square with length side $d=1$.

This paper studies the relationship between volume and surface uniform measures on n-dimensional p-balls under the p-norm. It is proved that for p=1, p=2 and p=infinity, and only for these values of p, radial projection maps a…

We prove several estimates for the volume, mean width, and the value of the Wills functional of sections of convex bodies in John's position, as well as for their polar bodies. These estimates extend some well-known results for convex…

This thesis consists of five papers about reduced spherical convex bodies and in particular spherical bodies of constant width on the $d$-dimensional sphere $S^d$. In paper I we present some facts describing the shape of reduced bodies of…
