We combine geometric methods with numerical box search algorithm to show that the minimal area of a convex set on the plane which can cover every closed plane curve of unit length is at least 0.0975. This improves the best previous lower…
Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold not containing any totally geodesic surface. Our main result shows that then the area of any complete surface immersed into $M$ is bounded by a multiple of its extrinsic curvature energy, i.e. by a…
Given a closed connected manifold smoothly immersed in a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with nonnegative sectional curvature, we estimate the intrinsic diameter of the submanifold in terms of its mean curvature field integral. On…
Consider a 2-plane $P \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ and let $D$ be a bounded region in $P$ with a piecewise-smooth boundary. Let $I(D)$ be the infimum of areas of all piecewise-smooth isotropic surfaces in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with the same boundary as…
We give an estimate of the mean curvature of a complete submanifold lying inside a closed cylinder $B(r)\times\R^{\ell}$ in a product Riemannian manifold $N^{n-\ell}\times\R^{\ell}$. It follows that a complete hypersurface of given constant…
We develop a Morse-Lusternik-Schnirelmann theory for the distance between two points of a smoothly embedded circle in a complete Riemannian manifold. This theory suggests very naturally a definition of width that generalises the classical…
In this paper, we provide a lower bound for an area of the convex hull of points and a rectangle in a plane. We then apply this estimate to establish a lower bound for a universal cover problem. We showed that a convex universal cover for a…
We improve a lower bound for the smallest area of convex covers for closed unit curves from 0.0975 to 0.1, which makes it substantially closer to the current best upper bound 0.11023. We did this by considering the minimal area of convex…
We establish a lower bound for the surface area of a closed, convex hypersurface in Euclidean space in terms of its displacement under continuous maps. As a result, a hypothesized lower bound for the volume of a Riemannian $n$-sphere,…
It is known that every closed curve of length \leq 4 in R^n (n>0) can be surrounded by a sphere of radius 1, and that this is the best bound. Letting S denote the circle of circumference 4, with the arc-length metric, we here express this…
In this note, we extend diameter bounds of Simon, Topping, and Wu--Zheng to submanifolds with boundary and (potentially non-compact) ambient manifolds with minor curvature restrictions. The bound is dependent on both an integral of mean…
In this note, we give a characterization of immersed submanifolds of simply-connected space forms for which the quotient of the extrinsic diameter by the focal radius achieves the minimum possible value of $2$. They are essentially round…
Surface area and mean width of a cylinder (the convex hull of two parallel disks) in R^3 are computed. It is more difficult to obtain analogous results for a cone (the convex hull of a disk D and a point p). Oblique formulas for mean width,…
A simple closed curve in the Euclidean plane is said to have property C_n(R) if at each point we can inscribe a unique regular $n$-gon with edges length $R$. C_2(R) is equivalent to having constant diameter. We show that smooth curves…
If K' and K are convex bodies of the plane such that K' is a subset of K then the perimeter of K' is not greater than the perimeter of K. We obtain the following generalization of this fact. Let K be a convex compact body of the plane with…
Given an $m$-dimensional closed connected Riemannian manifold $M$ smoothly isometrically immersed in an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $N$, we estimate the diameter of $M$ in terms of its mean curvature field integral under some…
We give a sharp lower bound on the area of the domain enclosed by an embedded curve lying on a two-dimensional sphere, provided that geodesic curvature of this curve is bounded from below. Furthermore, we prove some dual inequalities for…
On a finite-volume hyperbolic $3$-manifold, we establish an upper bound on the area of closed embedded surfaces with constant mean curvature at least one, depending on the mean curvature and the genus bounds. This area bound implies…
In this paper we introduce the Constant Width Measure Set, which measures the constant width property of an oval, i.e. the planar simple closed strictly convex curve. We study its geometrical properties. We find the exact relation between…
The authors showed in a preceding paper that in a connected locally harmonic manifold, the volume of a tube of small radius about a regularly parameterized simple arc depends only on the length of the arc and the radius. In this paper, we…
