A symmetric subset of the reals is one that remains invariant under some reflection x --> c-x. Given 0 < x < 1, there exists a real number D(x) with the following property: if 0 < d < D(x), then every subset of [0,1] with measure x contains…

To analyze the absolute condition number of multivariate polynomial interpolation on Lissajous-Chebyshev node points, we derive upper and lower bounds for the respective Lebesgue constant. The proof is based on a relation between the…

In 1958, Sz\"{u}sz proved an inhomogeneous version of Khintchine's theorem on Diophantine approximation. Sz\"{u}sz's theorem states that for any non-increasing approximation function $\psi:\mathbb{N}\to (0,1/2)$ with $\sum_q \psi(q)=\infty$…

We prove that most one-dimensional projections of a discrete subset of a plane are either dense in R (the real line), or form a discrete subset of R. More precisely, the set E of exceptional directions (for which the indicated dichotomy…

Let X be a d-dimensional diffusion and M the running supremum of its first component. In this paper, we show that for any t > 0, the density (with respect to the d + 1-dimensional Lebesgue measure) of the pair (Mt, Xt) is a weak solution of…

This text grew out of notes I have used in teaching a one quarter course on integration at the advanced undergraduate level. My intent is to introduce the Lebesgue integral in a quick, and hopefully painless, way and then go on to…

We propose a direct test of the existence of gauge duals for nonsupersymmetric asymptotically free gauge theories developing an infrared fixed point by computing the S-parameter in the electric and dual magnetic description. In particular…

We prove a limit theorem for the the maximal interpoint distance (also called the diameter) for a sample of n i.i.d. points in the unit ball of dimension 2 or more. The exact form of the limit distribution and the required normalisation are…

The isodiametric inequality is derived from the isoperimetric inequality trough a variational principle, establishing that balls maximize the perimeter among convex sets with fixed diameter. This principle brings also quantitative…

This work is motivated by a paper of Davenport and Schmidt, which treats the question of when Dirichlet's theorems on the rational approximation of one or of two irrationals can be improved and if so, by how much. We consider a…

We consider the pointwise approximation of a subharmonic function by the logarithm of the modulus of an entire function up to a bounded quantity. In the case of finite order an estimate from below of the planar Lebesgue measure of an…

For a finite set $A\subset \mathbb{R}$ and real $\lambda$, let $A+\lambda A:=\{a+\lambda b :\, a,b\in A\}$. Combining a structural theorem of Freiman on sets with small doubling constants together with a discrete analogue of…

In this paper we shall show that there exists L_0 such that for each even integer L >= L_0 there exists $c_1 \in \rz$ for which the Julia set of $z --> z^L + c_1$ has positive Lebesgue measure. This solves an old problem. Editor's note: In…

Let C be two times continuously differentiable curve in R^2 with at least one point at which the curvature is non-zero. For any i,j > 0 with i+j =1, let Bad(i,j) denote the set of points (x,y) in R^2 for which max {||qx ||^{1/i},…

Let $K\subset\mathbb{R}$ be a self-similar set defined on $\mathbb{R}$. It is easy to prove that if the Lebesgue measure of $K$ is zero, then for Lebesgue almost every $t$, $$K+t=\{x+t:x\in K\}$$ only consists of irrational or…

Peres and Solomyak asked the question: Do there exist self-similar sets with positive Lebesgue measure and empty interior? This question was answered in the affirmative by Cs\"{o}rnyei et al. They gave a parameterised family of iterated…

For a triangle $\Delta$, let (P) denote the problem of the existence of points in the plane of $\Delta$, that are at rational distance to the 3 vertices of $\Delta$. Answer to (P) is known to be positive in the following situation: $\Delta$…

In this paper we are interested in "optimal" universal geometric inequalities involving the area, diameter and inradius of convex bodies. The term "optimal" is to be understood in the following sense: we tackle the issue of…

It is shown to be consistent with set theory that the uniformity invariant for Lebesgue measure is strictly greater than the corresponding invariant for Hausdorff r-dimensional measure where 0<r<1.

Given $E \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d \ge 2$, define ${\mathcal D}(E) \equiv {(x-y)/|x-y|: x,y \in E} \subset S^{d-1},$ the set of directions determined by $E$. We prove that if the Hausdorff dimension of $E$ is greater than $d-1$, then…
