We extend the result of B. Cascales at al. about expand-contract plasticity of the unit ball of strictly convex Banach space to those spaces whose unit ball is the union of all its finite-dimensional polyhedral extreme subsets. We also…
Coverings of convex bodies have emerged as a central component in the design of efficient solutions to approximation problems involving convex bodies. Intuitively, given a convex body $K$ and $\epsilon> 0$, a covering is a collection of…
We study the dynamics of a cosmological bubble wall beyond the approximation of an infinitely thin wall. In a previous paper, we discussed the range of validity of this approximation and estimated the first-order corrections due to the…
The aim of this work is to describe subsets of Banach limits in terms of a certain functional characteristic. We compute radii and cardinalities for some of these subsets.
We fully characterize those von Neumann algebras having the ball-covering property. We also study the ball-covering property of noncommutative symmetric spaces. In particular, we provide a number of new examples of non-separable…
We show some new results about tilings in Banach spaces. A tiling of a Banach space $X$ is a covering by closed sets with non-empty interior so that they have pairwise disjoint interiors. If moreover the tiles have inner radii uniformly…
Theorem: Let X and Y be two Banach spaces, Phi: X to Y a continuous, linear, surjective operator, and Psi: X to Y a completely continuous operator with bounded range. Then, one has dim{x in X : Phi(x)=Psi(x)} >= dim(Phi^{-1}(0)). Here dim…
In this work, constructions of ordered covering arrays are discussed and applied to obtain new upper bounds on covering codes in Rosenbloom-Tsfasman spaces (RT spaces), improving or extending some previous results.
We construct surface measures associated to Gaussian measures in separable Banach spaces, and we prove several properties including an integration by parts formula.
Suppose $C$ is a compact, $n$-edged two-cell of the centered dual decomposition of a locally finite set in the hyperbolic plane, a coarsening of the Delaunay tessellation which was introduced in the author's prior work. We describe an…
In this paper we give a geometric argument for bounding the diameter of a connected compact surface (with boundary) of arbitrary codimension in Euclidean space in terms of Topping's diameter bound for closed surfaces (without boundary). The…
Given positive integers $n,k$ with $k\leq n$, we consider the number of ways of choosing $k$ subsets of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ in such a way that the union of these subsets gives $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ and they are not subsets of each other. We refer…
We survey elementary results in Minkowski spaces (i.e. finite dimensional Banach spaces) that deserve to be collected together, and give simple proofs for some of them. We place special emphasis on planar results. Many of these results have…
We provide bounds on the upper box-counting dimension of negatively invariant subsets of Banach spaces, a problem that is easily reduced to covering the image of the unit ball under a linear map by a collection of balls of smaller radius.…
Some ball-quotient orbifolds are related by covering maps. We exploit these coverings to find infinite towers of orbifolds uniformized by the complex 2-ball and some orbifolds over K3 surfaces uniformized by the 2-ball. Corresponding…
A necessary and sufficient condition for existence of a Banach space with a finite dimensional decomposition but without the $\pi$-property in terms of norms of compositions of projections is found.
A Banach space (or its norm) is said to have the diameter $2$ property (D$2$P in short) if every nonempty relatively weakly open subset of its closed unit ball has diameter $2$. We construct an equivalent norm on $L_1[0,1]$ which is weakly…
A Banach space is said to have the ball-covering property (BCP) if its unit sphere can be covered by countably many closed or open balls off the origin. Let $X$ be a Banach space with a shrinking $1$-unconditional basis. In this paper, by…
A connected covering is a design system in which the corresponding {\em block graph} is connected. The minimum size of such coverings are called {\em connected coverings numbers}. In this paper, we present various formulas and bounds for…
We investigate differences between upper and lower porosity. In finite dimensional Banach spaces every upper porous set is directionally upper porous. We show the situation is very different for lower porous sets; there exists a lower…
