Researchers increasingly use meta-analysis to synthesize the results of several studies in order to estimate a common effect. When the outcome variable is continuous, standard meta-analytic approaches assume that the primary studies report…

In this paper, we establish mean width inequalities of sections and projections of convex bodies for isotropic measures with complete equality conditions, which extends the recent work of Alonso-Guti\'{e}rrez and Brazitikos. Different from…

We construct symmetric representations of distributions over two-dimensional plane with given mean values as convex combinations of distributions with supports containing not more than three points and with the same mean values.

In the late 1990's, M. Gromov introduced the notion of mean dimension for a continuous map, which is, as well as the topological entropy, an invariant under topological conjugacy. The concept of metric mean dimension for a dynamical system…

Gini index is a widely used measure of economic inequality. This article develops a general theory for constructing a confidence interval for Gini index with a specified confidence coefficient and a specified width. Fixed sample size…

This short note proposes two additive corrections to a pair of relations published in Wan et al. in order to extend them to a small sample size condition. In particular we focus the interest on the possibility to provide an estimate to the…

The collection $\mathcal{M}_n$ of all metric spaces on $n$ points whose diameter is at most $2$ can naturally be viewed as a compact convex subset of $\mathbb{R}^{\binom{n}{2}}$, known as the metric polytope. In this paper, we study the…

The paper concerns the limit shape (under some probability measure) of convex polygonal lines with vertices on $\mathbb{Z}_+^2$, starting at the origin and with the right endpoint $n=(n_1,n_2)\to\infty$. In the case of the uniform measure,…

Properties of two classes of generally convex sets in the n-dimentional real Euclidean space, called m-semiconvex and weakly m-semiconvex, 1<=m<n, are investigated in the present work. In particular, it is established that an open set with…

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…

We write down a one-dimensional integral formula and compute large-n asymptotics for the expectation of the absolute value of the smallest component of a unit vector in n-dimensional Euclidean space. The method is general, and allows to…

We bring attention to the fact that Maxwell's mean free path for a dilute hard-sphere gas in thermal equilibrium, $(\sqrt{2}\sigma n)^{-1}$, which is ordinarily obtained by multiplying the average speed by the average time between…

A robust mean value is often a good alternative to the standard mean value when dealing with data containing many outliers. An efficient method for samples of one-dimensional features and the truncated quadratic error norm is presented and…

Given a closed connected manifold smoothly immersed in a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with nonnegative sectional curvature, we estimate the intrinsic diameter of the submanifold in terms of its mean curvature field integral. On…

An empty simplex is a lattice simplex in which vertices are the only lattice points. We show two constructions leading to the first known empty simplices of width larger than their dimension: - We introduce cyclotomic simplices and…

We consider a generalization of the hyperplane problem to arbitrary measures in place of volume and to sections of lower dimensions. We prove this generalization for unconditional convex bodies and for duals of bodies with bounded volume…

In this note we study the maximal perimeter of a convex set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with respect to various classes of measures. Firstly, we show that for a probability measure $\mu$ on $ \mathbb{R}^n$, satisfying very mild assumptions, there…

For every hyperplane $H$ supporting a convex body $C$ in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^d$ we define the width of $C$ determined by $H$ as the distance between $H$ and a most distant ultraparallel hyperplane supporting $C$. We prove that…

The metric dimension of a general metric space was defined in 1953, applied to the set of vertices of a graph metric in 1975, and developed further for metric spaces in 2013. It was then generalised in 2015 to the k-metric dimension of a…

We show that the twin-width of every $n$-vertex $d$-regular graph is at most $n^{\frac{d-2}{2d-2}+o(1)}$ and that almost all $d$-regular graphs attain this bound. More generally, we obtain bounds on the twin-width of sparse Erd\H{o}s-Renyi…
