We study multivariate normal models that are described by linear constraints on the inverse of the covariance matrix. Maximum likelihood estimation for such models leads to the problem of maximizing the determinant function over a…
The problem considered first by I. Newton (1687) consists in finding a surface of the minimal frontal resistance in a parallel flow of non-interacting point particles. The standard formulation assumes that the surface is convex with a given…
The goal of this paper is to present a lower bound for the Mahler volume of at least 4-dimensional symmetric convex bodies. We define a computable dimension dependent constant through a 2-dimensional variational (max-min) procedure and…

The Erd\H{o}s distinct distance problem is a ubiquitous problem in discrete geometry. Somewhat less well known is Erd\H{o}s' distinct angle problem, the problem of finding the minimum number of distinct angles between $n$ non-collinear…
We study the problem of conformally deforming a manifold with boundary to have vanishing {\sigma}4-curvature in the interior and constant H4- curvature on the boundary. We prove that there are geometrically distinct solutions using…
In 1997, Erd\H{o}s asked whether for arbitrarily large $n$ there exists a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ that determines $O(\frac{n}{\sqrt{\log n}})$ distinct distances while satisfying the local constraint that every 4-point subset…
We introduce a ZFC method that enables us to build spaces (in fact special dense subspaces of certain Cantor cubes) in which we have "full control" over all dense subsets. Using this method we are able to construct, in ZFC, for each…
We introduce an alternative formalization of curved spaces in which the concept of a pointwise affine space, as defined here, replaces that of a manifold. New or modified definitions of familiar notions from differential geometry such as…
We present dynamic equations for two dimensional closed surfaces and analytically solve it for some simplified cases. We derive final equations for surface normal motions by two different ways. The solution of the equations of motions in…
We obtain some sharp estimates for the $p$-torsion of convex planar domains in terms of their area, perimeter, and inradius. The approach we adopt relies on the use of web functions (i.e. functions depending only on the distance from the…
We investigate the dynamics of a single deformable self-propelled particle which undergoes a spinning motion in a two-dimensional space. Equations of motion are derived from the symmetry argument for three kinds of variables. One is a…
We consider the 4-body problem in spaces of constant curvature and study the existence of spherical and hyperbolic rectangular solutions, i.e. equiangular quadrilateral motions on spheres and hyperbolic spheres. We focus on relative…
This paper provides a self-contained ordinary differential equation solver approach for separable convex optimization problems. A novel primal-dual dynamical system with built-in time rescaling factors is introduced, and the exponential…
In 1963 Ezra Ted Newman and his two students Louis A. Tamburino, and Theodore W. J. Unti, proposed a deformation of the Shwarzschild spacetime that made it twisting. In the cosmological context, an equivalent solution had been found…
We consider shape optimization problems for general integral functionals of the calculus of variations, defined on a domain $\Omega$ that varies over all subdomains of a given bounded domain $D$ of ${\bf R}^d$. We show in a rather…
Pseudo-cones serve as the noncompact counterpart of convex bodies in convex geometry. This paper establishes a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of solutions to the Orlicz-Gauss image problem for pseudo-cones and further…
We investigate different aspects of area convexity [Sherman '17], a mysterious tool introduced to tackle optimization problems under the challenging $\ell_\infty$ geometry. We develop a deeper understanding of its relationship with more…
