In this paper a measure of non-convexity for a simple polygonal region in the plane is introduced. It is proved that for "not far from convex" regions this measure does not decrease under the Minkowski sum operation, and guarantees that the…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\R^d$, let $j\in\{1, ..., d-1\}$, and let $\varrho$ be a positive and continuous probability density function with respect to the $(d-1)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure on the boundary $\partial K$ of $K$. Denote…

We prove that an arbitrary convex body $C \subseteq \mathbf{R}^{n+1} $, whose $ k $-th anisotropic curvature measure (for $ k =0, \ldots , n-1 $) is a multiple constant of the anisotropic perimeter of C, must be a rescaled and translated…

The classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality states that for $A_1,A_2\subset\R^n$ compact, $$ |A_1+A_2|^{1/n}\ge |A_1|^{1/n}+|A_2|^{1/n}\eqno(1) $$ where $|\cdot|$ denotes the Lebesgue measure on $\R^n$. In 1986 V. Milman {\bf [Mil 1]}…

In this paper we show that, if an increasing sequence $\Lambda=(\lambda_k)_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}$ has gaps going to infinity $\lambda_{k+1}-\lambda_k\to +\infty$ when $k\to\pm\infty$, then for every $T>0$ and every sequence…

We prove a sharp stability result for the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for $A,B\subset\mathbb{R}^2$. Assuming that the Brunn-Minkowski deficit $\delta=|A+B|^{\frac{1}{2}}/(|A|^\frac12+|B|^\frac12)-1$ is sufficiently small in terms of…

We investigate Minkowski additive, continuous, and translation invariant operators $\Phi:\mathcal{K}^n\to\mathcal{K}^n$ defined on the family of convex bodies such that the volume of the image $\Phi(K)$ is bounded from above and below by…

We investigate the validity and the stability of various Minkowski-like inequalities for $C^1$-perturbations of the ball. Let $K\subseteq\mathbb R^n$ be a domain (possibly not convex and not mean-convex) which is $C^1$-close to a ball. We…

A "law of large numbers" for consecutive convex hulls for weakly dependent Gaussian sequences $\{X_n\}$, having the same marginal distribution, is extended to the case when the sequence $\{X_n\}$ has a weak limit. Let $\mathbb{B}$ be a…

We estimate the rate of convergence for the Kantorovich (or Wasserstein) distance between empirical measures of i.i.d. random variables associated with the Laguerre model of order $\alpha$ on $(0,\infty)^N$ and their common law, which is…

We construct and parametrize solutions to the constraint equations of general relativity in a neighborhood of Minkowski spacetime with arbitrary prescribed decay properties at infinity. We thus provide a large class of initial data for the…

The classical Minkowski problem in Minkowski space asks, for a positive function $\phi$ on $\mathbb{H}^d$, for a convex set $K$ in Minkowski space with $C^2$ space-like boundary $S$, such that $\phi(\eta)^{-1}$ is the Gauss--Kronecker…

A poisson process $P_{\lambda}$ on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ with causal structure inherited from the the usual Minkowski metric on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ has a normalised discrete causal distance $D_{\lambda}(x,y)$ given by the height of the longest…

In this article we study two classical potential-theoretic problems in convex geometry corresponding to a nonlinear capacity, $\mbox{Cap}_{\mathcal{A}}$, where $\mathcal{A}$-capacity is associated with a nonlinear elliptic PDE whose…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a complex Hilbert space and $T:\mathcal{H}\to \mathcal{H}$ be a contraction. Let $$A_nf=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{j=1}^nT^jf$$ for $f\in \mathcal{H}$. Let $(n_k)$ be a lacunary sequence, then there exists a constant $C_1>0$ such…

To prove that a measure, linearly representable by means of a finite set of nonnegative matrices $\mathcal M$, has the weak-Gibbs property, one check the uniform convergence (on $\mathcal M^\mathbb N$) of the sequence of vectors…

We study rational functions satisfying summability conditions - a family of weak conditions on the expansion along the critical orbits. Assuming their appropriate versions, we derive many nice properties: There exists a unique, ergodic, and…

In Minkowski geometry the unit ball is a compact convex body $K$ containing the origin in its interior. The boundary of the body is formed by the unit vectors. We also have a so-called Minkowski functional to measure the length of vectors.…

Can the Minkowski sum of two compact convex bodies be made smoother by rotating one of them? We construct two infinitely differentiable strictly convex plane bodies such that after any generic rotation (in the Baire category sense) of one…

We introduce the concept of Minkowski normality, a different type of normality for the regular continued fraction expansion. We use the ordering \[ \frac{1}{2},\quad \frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{3},\quad \frac{1}{4}, \frac{3}{4},\frac{2}{5},…
