We study the properties of the maximal volume $k$-dimensional sections of the $n$-dimensional cube $[-1,1]^n$. We obtain a first order necessary condition for a $k$-dimensional subspace to be a local maximizer of the volume of such…
We determine the maximal hyperplane sections of the regular $n$-simplex, if the distance of the hyperplane to the centroid is fairly large, i.e. larger than the distance of the centroid to the midpoint of edges. Similar results for the…
We provide a formula to compute the volume of the intersection of a generalized cylinder with a hyperplane. Then we prove an integral inequality involving Bessel functions similar to Keith Ball's well-known inequality. Using this inequality…
Let $\Delta_n$ and $Q_n$ denote the regular $n$-simplex of side length $\sqrt{2}$ embedded in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ and the volume one cube in $\mathbb{R}^n$, respectively. We derive a closed-form formula for the hyperplane volume projections…
Closed form expressions are given for computing the parameters and vectors that identify and define the $n-1$ dimensional conic section that results from the intersection of a hyperplane with an $n$-dimensional conic section: cone,…
In this note we investigate the behavior of the volume that the convex hull of two congruent and intersecting simplices in Euclidean $n$-space can have. We prove some useful equalities and inequalities on this volume. For the regular…
In this paper we give lower and upper bounds for the volume growth of a regular hyperbolic simplex, namely for the ratio of the $n$-dimensional volume of a regular simplex and the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of its facets. In addition to the…
The manuscript provides formulas for the volume of a body defined by the intersection of a solid cone and a solid sphere as a function of the sphere radius, of the distance between cone apex and sphere center, and of the cone aperture…

Let $Q_n$ be the cube of side length one centered at the origin in $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $F$ be an affine $(n-d)$-dimensional subspace of $\mathbb{R}^n$ having distance to the origin less than or equal to $\frac 1 2$, where $0<d<n$. We…
We derive an explicit formula for the volume of a regular simplex in the hyperbolic space of any dimension.
Using combinatorial methods, we derive several formulas for the volume of convex bodies obtained by intersecting a unit hypercube with a halfspace, or with a hyperplane of codimension 1, or with a flat defined by two parallel hyperplanes.…
We find minimal and maximal length of intersections of lines at a fixed distance to the origin with the cross-polytope. We also find maximal volume noncentral sections of the cross-polypote by hyperplanes which are at a fixed large distance…
We show that the maximal non-central hyperplane sections of the regular n-simplex of side-length sqrt 2 at a fixed distance t to the centroid are those parallel to a face of the simplex, if $\sqrt{(n-2)/(3(n+1))} < t <…
We obtain an optimal upper bound for the normalised volume of a hyperplane section of an origin-symmetric d-dimensional cube. This confirms a conjecture posed by Imre Barany and Peter Frankl.
We develop a new simple approach to prove upper bounds for generalizations of the Heilbronn's triangle problem in higher dimensions. Among other things, we show the following: for fixed $d \ge 1$, any subset of $[0, 1]^d$ of size $n$…
We discuss the optimization problem for minimizing the $(n-1)$-volume of the intersection of a convex cone $K$ in $\Bbb R^n$ with a hyperplane through a given point, first considered in \cite{We}. We give a geometric characterization of the…
Given a vector a $\in$ Rn, we provide an alternative and direct proof for the formula of the volume of sections delta $\cap$ {x : a T x \textless{}= t} and slices $\cap$ {x : a T x = t}, t $\in$ R, of the simplex delta. For slices the…
We prove a generalization of the hyperplane inequality for intersection bodies, where volume is replaced by an arbitrary measure $\mu$ with even continuous density and sections are of arbitrary dimension $n-k,\ 1\le k <n.$ If $K$ is a…
The problem of maximizing the average cross section through a point within a shape is introduced. This idea is extended into arbitrary dimensions. However, the average cross sectional volume cannot be maximized unless the cross sections…
