A perfect Euler cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped with integer edges and integer face diagonals whose space diagonal is also integer. The problem of finding such parallelepipeds or proving their non-existence is an old unsolved…
In this paper we study the quantitative isoperimetric inequality in the plane. We prove the existence of a set $\Omega$, different from a ball, which minimizes the ratio $\delta(\Omega)/\lambda^2(\Omega)$, where $\delta$ is the…
We prove some old and new isoperimetric inequalities with the best constant using the ABP method applied to an appropriate linear Neumann problem. More precisely, we obtain a new family of sharp isoperimetric inequalities with weights (also…
For a given family of similar shapes, what we call a "unit shape" strongly analogizes the role of the unit circle within the family of all circles. Within many such families of similar shapes, we present what we believe is naturally and…
This paper announces the discovery of an isoperimetric inequality for the area of plane regions defined by binary forms. This result has been applied subsequently in the enumeration of solutions to the Thue inequality and, given its…
In a recent paper, C. Gambicchia and A. Pratelli proved a quantitative isoperimetric inequality involving the isoperimetric deficit $\delta(K)$ and the barycentric distance $\lambda_0(K)$ for sets $K\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ with given diameter…
In this paper we consider the problem of packing a fixed number of identical circles inside the unit circle container, where the packing is complicated by the presence of fixed size circular prohibited areas. Here the objective is to…
This article considers a one-parameter family of circles F_C, which has the interesting property that the null isocline of the family is the largest member of the family. This family of circles is bounded and we consider the problem of…
Symmetries in discrete constraint satisfaction problems have been explored and exploited in the last years, but symmetries in continuous constraint problems have not received the same attention. Here we focus on permutations of the…
We study the isoperimetric problem in Euclidean space endowed with a density. We first consider piecewise constant densities and examine particular cases related to the characteristic functions of half-planes, strips and balls. We also…
We show that the minimal number of skewed hyperplanes that cover the hypercube $\{0,1\}^{n}$ is at least $\frac{n}{2}+1$, and there are infinitely many $n$'s when the hypercube can be covered with $n-\log_{2}(n)+1$ skewed hyperplanes. The…
A perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped with integer edges, integer face diagonals, and integer space diagonal. Such cuboids have not yet been found, but nor has their existence been disproved. Perfect cuboids are described by a…
A sharp isoperimetric inequality for the Hamming cube is proved at the critical exponent $\beta=\frac12$. This follows up on previous work, where such bounds were established for $\beta$ near $\frac12$. As a consequence, this result settles…
We investigate the structure of isometric subgraphs of hypercubes (i.e., partial cubes) which do not contain finite convex subgraphs contractible to the 3-cube minus one vertex $Q^-_3$ (here contraction means contracting the edges…
In this paper we consider a partial overdetermined mixed boundary value problem in domains inside a cone as in [18]. We show that in cones having an isoperimetric property the only domains which admit a solution and which minimize a…
We study the structure of the branch set of solutions to Plateau's problem in metric spaces satisfying a quadratic isoperimetric inequality. In our first result, we give examples of spaces with isoperimetric constant arbitrarily close to…
In this paper, we prove an optimal isoperimetric inequality for spacelike, compact, star-shaped, and $2$-convex hypersurfaces in de Sitter space.
An abundance of real-world problems manifest as covering edges and/or vertices of a graph with cliques that are optimized for some objectives. We consider different structural parameters of graph, and design fixed-parameter tractable…
We settle the case of equality for the relative isoperimetric inequality outside any arbitrary convex set with not empty interior.
The goal of this article is to emphasize the role of cubical sets in enriched categories theory and infinity-categories theory. We show in particular that categories enriched in cubical sets provide a convenient way to describe many…
