Given a set of disks in the plane, the goal of the problem studied in this paper is to choose a subset of these disks such that none of its members contains the centre of any other. Each disk not in this subset must be merged with one of…
We consider ensembles of planar maps with two marked vertices at distance k from each other and look at the closed line separating these vertices and lying at distance d from the first one (d<k). This line divides the map into two…
In this paper we introduce a maximal divisorial set in the arc space of a variety. The generalized Nash problem is reduced to a translation problem of the inclusion of two maximal divisorial sets. We study this problem and show a counter…
Some sharp discrete inequalities in normed linear spaces are obtained. New reverses of the generalised triangle inequality are also given.
The problem of replacing an integral norm with respect to a given probability measure by the corresponding integral norm with respect to a discrete measure is discussed in the paper. The above problem is studied for elements of finite…
Numerical tests of volume formulae are presented to compute efficiently the volume enclosed between flux surfaces for integrable 3D vector fields with various degrees of symmetry. In the process, a new case is proposed and tested.
We consider the number of distinct distances between two finite sets of points in ${\bf R}^k$, for any constant dimension $k\ge 2$, where one set $P_1$ consists of $n$ points on a line $l$, and the other set $P_2$ consists of $m$ arbitrary…
This note is a comment to the paper by D.R.Heath-Brown and B.Z.Moroz (Math Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc. 125 (1999)). That paper concerns with the projective surface $S$ in $\mathbb{P}^{3}$ defined by the equation $x_{1}x_{2}x_{3}=x_{4}^{3}$. It…
We have derived an analytical formulation for estimating the volume of geometries enclosed by implicitly defined surfaces. The novelty of this work is due to two aspects. First we provide a general analytical formulation for all…
We provide a simple method and relevant theoretical analysis for efficiently estimating higher-order lp distances. While the analysis mainly focuses on l4, our methodology extends naturally to p = 6,8,10..., (i.e., when p is even).…
The paper is devoted to discretization of integral norms of functions from a given collection of finite dimensional subspaces. For natural collections of subspaces of the multivariate trigonometric polynomials we construct sets of points,…
We prove algorithmic and hardness results for the problem of finding the largest set of a fixed diameter in the Euclidean space. In particular, we prove that if $A^*$ is the largest subset of diameter $r$ of $n$ points in the Euclidean…
A classical theorem of Macbeath states that for any integers $d \geq 2$, $n \geq d+1$, $d$-dimensional Euclidean balls are hardest to approximate, in terms of volume difference, by inscribed convex polytopes with $n$ vertices. In this paper…
We construct a quasi-polynomial time deterministic approximation algorithm for computing the volume of an independent set polytope with restrictions. Randomized polynomial time approximation algorithms for computing the volume of a convex…
The equations of motion of a mechanical system subjected to nonholonomic linear constraints can be formulated in terms of a linear almost Poisson structure in a vector bundle. We study the existence of invariant measures for the system in…
We elaborate on the intimate connection between the largest volume of an empty axis-parallel box in a set of $n$ points from $[0,1]^d$ and cover-free families from the extremal set theory. This connection was discovered in a recent paper of…
In this paper we introduce a new technique to prove the existence of closed subspaces of maximal dimension inside sets of topological vector sequence spaces. The results we prove cover some sequence spaces not studied before in the context…
In a $d$-dimensional convex body $K$ random points $X_0, \dots, X_d$ are chosen. Their convex hull is a random simplex. The expected volume of a random simplex is monotone under set inclusion, if $K \subset L$ implies that the expected…
This work proposes an algorithm to bound the minimum distance between points on trajectories of a dynamical system and points on an unsafe set. Prior work on certifying safety of trajectories includes barrier and density methods, which do…
This paper is devoted to the study of a discrepancy-type characteristic -- the fixed volume discrepancy -- of the Korobov point sets in the unit cube. It was observed recently that this new characteristic allows us to obtain optimal rate of…
