Given a convex n-gon P in the Euclidean plane, it is well known that the simplicial complex \theta(P) with vertex set given by diagonals in P and facets given by triangulations of P is the boundary complex of a polytope of dimension n-3. We…

We consider the heat equation in a smooth bounded convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ with nonlinear Neumann boundary condition $\partial_\nu u = \lambda (u - u^3)$. Stable non-constant stationary solutions do not exist when…

In this paper, we focus on the following general shape optimization problem: $$ \min\{J(\Om), \Om convex, \Om\in\mathcal S_{ad}\}, $$ where $\mathcal S_{ad}$ is a set of 2-dimensional admissible shapes and $J:\mathcal{S}_{ad}\to\R$ is a…

In this paper, we study the near-boundary behavior of functions $u\in\mathcal{F}(\Omega)$ in the case where $\Omega$ is strictly pseudoconvex. We also introduce a sufficient condition for belonging to $\mathcal{F}$ in the case where…

A new analytical characterization of balls in the Euclidean space $\RR^m$ is obtained. Unlike previous results of this kind, using either harmonic functions or solutions to the modified Helmholtz equation, the present one is based on…

Let $\Omega$ be a convex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ and $\varphi$ a convex function on $\Omega$. We prove that $\log{K_{\Omega,\varphi}(z)}$ is a convex function (might be identically $-\infty$) on $\Omega$, where $K_{\Omega,\varphi}$ is the…

High proved the following theorem. If the intersections of any two congruent copies of a plane convex body are centrally symmetric, then this body is a circle. In our paper we extend the theorem of High to spherical, Euclidean and…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a set with finite Lebesgue measure such that, for a fixed radius $r>0$, the Lebesgue measure of $\Omega \cap B_r (x)$ is equal to a positive constant when $x$ varies in the essential boundary of…

The Aviles Giga functional is a well known second order functional that forms a model for blistering and in a certain regime liquid crystals, a related functional models thin magnetized films. Given Lipschitz domain $\Omega\subset R^2$ the…

We revisit an ingenious argument of K. Ball to provide sharp estimates for the volume of sections of a convex body in John's position. Our technique combines the geometric Brascamp-Lieb inequality with a generalised Parseval-type identity.…

In this paper we discuss a couple of observations related to polynomial convexity. More precisely, (i) We observe that the union of finitely many disjoint closed balls with centres in $\cup_{\theta\in[0,\pi/2]}e^{i\theta}V$ is polynomially…

Let $p$ be a positive number. Consider probability measure $\gamma_p$ with density $\varphi_p(y)=c_{n,p}e^{-\frac{|y|^p}{p}}$. We show that the maximal surface area of a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with respect to $\gamma_p$ is…

In this short note we show that the tetrablock is i $\C$-convex domain. In the proof of this fact a new class of ($\C$-convex) domains is studied. The domains are natural caniddates to study on them the behavior of holomorphically invariant…

Polyconvexity is an important concept in the analysis of energies related to elasticity. A function $f \colon \R^{d\times d} \to \R$ is called polyconvex if it can be written as a convex function in the minors of the argument. We show that…

In a work by Artstein-Avidan and Milman the concept of polarity is generalized from the class of convex bodies to the larger class of convex functions. While the only self-polar convex body is the Euclidean ball, it turns out that there are…

We define floating bodies in the class of $n$-dimensional ball-convex bodies. A right derivative of volume of these floating bodies leads to a surface area measure for ball-convex bodies which we call relative affine surface area. We show…

Assume that $D\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ is a bounded domain with $C^1-$smooth boundary. Our result is: {\bf Theorem 1.} {\em If $D$ has $P-$property, then $D$ is a ball.} Four equivalent formulations of the Pompeiu problem are discussed. A…

Let $S$ be a sequence of points in $\Omega ,$ where $\Omega$ is the unit ball or the unit polydisc in ${\mathbb{C}}^{n}.$ Denote $H^{p}$($\Omega $) the Hardy space of $\Omega .$ Suppose that $S$ is $H^{p}$ interpolating with $p\geq 2.$ Then…

Consider an oracle which takes a point $x$ and returns the minimizer of a convex function $f$ in an $\ell_2$ ball of radius $r$ around $x$. It is straightforward to show that roughly $r^{-1}\log\frac{1}{\epsilon}$ calls to the oracle…
