The Hilbert metric is a projective metric defined on a convex body which generalizes the Cayley-Klein model of hyperbolic geometry to any convex set. In this paper we analyze Hilbert Voronoi diagrams in the Dynamic setting. In addition we…

In his work on the foundations of geometry, Hilbert observed that a formula which appeared in works by Beltrami, Cayley, and Klein, gives rise to a complete metric on any bounded convex domain. Some decades later, Garrett Birkhoff and Hans…

We study the metric projection onto the closed convex cone in a real Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}$ generated by a sequence $\mathcal{V} = \{v_n\}_{n=0}^\infty$. The first main result of this paper provides a sufficient condition under which…

We prove a functional identity between the Hilbert metric and the visual angle metric in the unit disk. The proof utilizes the Poincar\'e hyperbolic metric in terms of which both metrics can be expressed. This identity then yields sharp…

This paper gives a self-contained introduction to the Hilbert projective metric $\mathcal{H}$ and its fundamental properties, with a particular focus on the space of probability measures. We start by defining the Hilbert pseudo-metric on…

On any convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ we can define the Hilbert metric. A projective transformation is an example of an isometry of the Hilbert metric. In this thesis we will prove that the group of projective transformations on a convex…

Classifying points in high dimensional spaces is a fundamental geometric problem in machine learning. In this paper, we address classifying points in the $d$-dimensional Hilbert polygonal metric. The Hilbert metric is a generalization of…

There are two natural metrics defined on an arbitrary convex cone: Thompson's part metric and Hilbert's projective metric. For both, we establish an inequality giving information about how far the metric is from being non-positively curved.

The goal of this short paper is to give condition for the completeness of the Binet-Legendre metric in Finsler geometry. The case of the Funk and Hilbert metrics in a convex domain are discussed.

This note is devoted to the study of the links between the Hilbert function of a subscheme X of the projective space, and its geometric properties. We will assume that X is arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay, which allows us to characterize its…
