We construct a new class of affine complements ${\mathbb P}^M\setminus S$ with the trivial group of automorphisms, where $S\subset {\mathbb P}^M$ is a rational hypersurface, $M$ is odd and $M\geqslant 5$.

We endow the set of complements of a fixed subspace of a projective space with the structure of an affine space, and show that certain lines of such an affine space are affine reguli or cones over affine reguli. Moreover, we apply our…

A. Ya. Zaslavskii's results on the existence of a linear (affine) selection for a linear (affine) or superlinear (convex) map $\Phi : K \to 2^Y$ defined on a convex cone (convex set) $K$ having the interpolation property are extended. We…

Proximal operators with affine constraints arise in numerous models in nonconvex projection, composite optimization, and structured regularization. However, their efficient computation remains challenging due to the simultaneous presence of…

Classification of curves up to affine transformation in a finite dimensional space was studied by some different methods. In this paper, we achieve the exact formulas of affine invariants via the equivalence problem and in the view of…

Fold maps are fundamental tools in the theory of singularities of differentiable maps and its applications to geometry. They are higher dimensional variants of Morse functions. Classes of special generic maps and round fold maps are…

We consider a class of planar self-affine sets which we call "box-like". A box-like self-affine set is the attractor of an iterated function system (IFS) of affine maps where the image of the unit square, [0,1]^2, under arbitrary…

This paper has an expository nature. We compare the spectral properties (such as boundedness and compactness) of three families of semi-infinite matrices and point out similarities between them. The common feature of these families is that…

A self-affine tiling of a compact set G of positive Lebesgue measure is its partition to parallel shifts of a compact set which is affinely similar to G. We find all polyhedral sets (unions of finitely many convex polyhedra) that admit…

We prove new $L_p$ affine isoperimetric inequalities for all $ p \in [-\infty,1)$. We establish, for all $p\neq -n$, a duality formula which shows that $L_p$ affine surface area of a convex body $K$ equals $L_\frac{n^2}{p}$ affine surface…
