In this paper, we establish uniform and sharp volume estimates for the singular set and the quantitative singular strata of mean curvature flows starting from a smooth, closed, mean-convex hypersurface in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$.
We obtain a new upper estimate on the Euclidean diameter of the intersection of the kernel of a random matrix with iid rows with a given convex body. The proof is based on a small-ball argument rather than on concentration and thus the…
The random polytope $K_n$, defined as the convex hull of $n$ points chosen uniformly at random on the boundary of a smooth convex body, is considered. Proofs for lower and upper variance bounds, strong laws of large numbers and central…
We show that the problem of finding the simplex of largest volume in the convex hull of $n$ points in $\mathbb{Q}^d$ can be approximated with a factor of $O(\log d)^{d/2}$ in polynomial time. This improves upon the previously best known…
Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. A Steiner convex partition is a tiling of ${\rm conv}(S)$ with empty convex bodies. For every integer $d$, we show that $S$ admits a Steiner convex partition with at most $\lceil…
We show that the two-dimensional minimum-volume central section of the $n$-dimensional cross-polytope is attained by the regular $2n$-gon. We establish stability-type results for hyperplane sections of $\ell_p$-balls in all the cases where…
For each dimension $d$, $d$-dimensional integral simplices with exactly one interior integral point have bounded volume. This was first shown by Hensley. Explicit volume bounds were determined by Hensley, Lagarias and Ziegler, Pikhurko, and…
In the context of Synthetic Differential Geometry, we describe the square volume of a ``second-infinitesimal simplex'', in terms of square-distance between its vertices. The square-volume function thus described is symmetric in the…
We consider the flow of closed convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with speed given by a power of the $k$-th mean curvature $E_k$ plus a global term chosen to impose a constraint involving the enclosed volume…
The Kneser-Poulsen conjecture says that if a finite collection of balls in a d-dimensional Euclidean space is rearranged so that the distance between each pair of centers does not get smaller, then the volume of the union of these balls…
We revisit the geometric foundations of mesh representation through the lens of Plane-based Geometric Algebra (PGA), questioning its efficiency and expressiveness for discrete geometry. We find how $k$-simplices (vertices, edges, faces,…
We define the ``volume'' contained by pointed $k$-surfaces, first studied by the author in [9], and we show that this volume is always finite. Likewise, we show that the surface area of a pointed $k$-surface is always finite.
We formulate and give partial answers to several combinatorial problems on volumes of simplices determined by $n$ points in 3-space, and in general in $d$ dimensions. (i) The number of tetrahedra of minimum (nonzero) volume spanned by $n$…
The intrinsic volumes are measures of the content of a convex body. This paper uses probabilistic and information-theoretic methods to study the sequence of intrinsic volumes of a convex body. The main result states that the intrinsic…
We study the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of central hyperplane sections of the $n$-dimensional cube $Q_n$. Our main goal is two-fold: first, we provide an alternative, simpler argument for proving that the volume of the section perpendicular…
The volume distance from a point p to a convex hypersurface M of the (N+1)-dimensional space is defined as the minimum (N+1)-volume of a region bounded by M and a hyperplane H through the point. This function is differentiable in a…
We consider a volume maximization program to construct hyperbolic structures on triangulated 3-manifolds, for which previous progress has lead to consider angle assignments which do not correspond to a hyperbolic metric on each simplex. We…
The theory of intrinsic volumes of convex cones has recently found striking applications in areas such as convex optimization and compressive sensing. This article provides a self-contained account of the combinatorial theory of intrinsic…
The classical result of Cauchy's surface area formula states that the surface area of the boundary $\partial K=\Sigma$ of any $n$-dimensional convex body in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be obtained by the average…
We observe stationary random tessellations $X=\{\Xi_n\}_{n\ge1}$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ through a convex sampling window $W$ that expands unboundedly and we determine the total $(k-1)$-volume of those $(k-1)$-dimensional manifold processes which…
