We prove that for any bounded convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, the function \begin{equation*} \psi_\Omega(\xi) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\Omega} \frac{\mathrm{d}x}{|x-\xi|^{2n}}, \quad \xi\in\Omega, \end{equation*} has…

For $p\in (1,2]$ and a bounded, convex, nonempty, open set $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^2$ let $\mu_p(\bar{\Omega},\cdot)$ be the $p$-capacitary curvature measure (generated by the closure $\bar{\Omega}$ of $\Omega$) on the unit circle $\mathbb…

We prove that if $C$ is a symmetric convex body of revolution in $\mathbb R^4$ containing the unit Euclidean ball $\mathbb B_4$, such that the sections of $C$ by hyperplanes tangent to $\mathbb B_4$ have constant area $A>0$, then $C$ is a…

We obtain existence of minimizers for the $p$-capacity functional defined with respect to a centrally symmetric anisotropy for $1 < p<\infty$, including the case of a crystalline norm in $\mathbb R^N$. The result is obtained by a…

Given a convex set $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, we consider the shape optimization problem of finding a convex subset $\omega\subset \Omega$, of a given measure, minimizing the $p$-distance functional $$\mathcal{J}_p(\omega) :=…

For $\Omega$ varying among open bounded sets in ${\mathbb R} ^n$, we consider shape functionals $J (\Omega)$ defined as the infimum over a Sobolev space of an integral energy of the kind $\int _\Omega[ f (\nabla u) + g (u) ]$, under…

Parallel to the main results of [13] and [14], which explore the equivalence between prox-regularity, the exterior sphere condition, and $S$-convexity, we present novel characterizations of the $r$-strong convexity property, namely, of the…

We define positive and strictly positive definite functions on a domain and study these functions on a list of regular domains. The list includes the unit ball, conic surface, hyperbolic surface, solid hyperboloid, and simplex. Each of…

In recent work by Zimmer it was proved that if $\Omega\subset\mathbb C^n$ is a bounded convex domain with $C^\infty$-smooth boundary, then $\Omega$ is strictly pseudoconvex provided that the squeezing function approaches one as one…

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…

This paper deals with local convexity properties of the j-metric. We consider convexity and starlikeness of the j-metric balls in convex, starlike and general subdomains of R^n.

We prove that there exists a bounded convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbf{R}^3$ of fixed volume that minimizes the first positive curl eigenvalue among all other bounded convex domains of the same volume. We show that this optimal domain…

The cognitive framework of conceptual spaces [3] provides geometric means for representing knowledge. A conceptual space is a high-dimensional space whose dimensions are partitioned into so-called domains. Within each domain, the Euclidean…

Let $g$ be a locally Lipschitz continuous real valued function which satisfies the Keller-Osserman condition and is convex at infinity, then any large solution of $-\Delta u+g(u)=0$ in a ball is radially symmetric.

We investigate symmetry and quantitative approximate symmetry for an overdetermined problem related to the fractional torsion equation in a regular open, bounded set $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$. Specifically, we show that if…

In this paper, we show that the convex domains of the hyperbolic space which are almost extremal for the Faber-Krahn or the Payne-Polya-Weinberger inequalities are close to geodesic balls. Our proof is also valid in other space forms and…

There recently has been some interest in the space of functions on an interval satisfying the heat equation for positive time in the interior of this interval. Such functions were characterised as being analytic on a square with the…

In this paper, we introduce concepts of separable functions in balls and in the whole space, and develop a new method to investigate the qualitative properties of separable functions. We first study the axial symmetry and monotonicity of…

We give a characterization of harmonic and subharmonic functions in terms of their mean values in balls and on spheres. This includes the converse of an inequality of Beardon's for subharmonic functions. We also obtain integral inequalities…

Strongly convex sets in Hilbert spaces are characterized by local properties. One quantity which is used for this purpose is a generalization of the modulus of convexity \delta_\Omega of a set \Omega. We also show that \lim_{\epsilon \to 0}…
