Volume of metric balls relates to rate-distortion theory and packing bounds on codes. In this paper, the volume of balls in complex Grassmann manifolds is evaluated for an arbitrary radius. The ball is defined as a set of hyperplanes of a…
The geometry of the dual amplituhedron is generally described in reference to a particular triangulation. A given triangulation manifests only certain aspects of the underlying space while obscuring others, therefore understanding this…
We give upper bounds for volume of sublevel sets of real polynomials. Our method is to combine a version of global Lojasiewicz inequality with some well known estimate on volume of tubes around real algebraic sets. Some applications to…

It is well-known that the McCormick relaxation for the bilinear constraint $z=xy$ gives the convex hull over the box domains for $x$ and $y$. In network applications where the domain of bilinear variables is described by a network polytope,…

Numerous tasks in imaging and vision can be formulated as variational problems over vector-valued maps. We approach the relaxation and convexification of such vectorial variational problems via a lifting to the space of currents. To that…
We carry out overdamped simulations in a simple model of jamming - a collection of bi-disperse soft core frictionless disks in two dimensions - with the aim to explore the finite size dependence of different quantities, both the relaxation…
In this note we prove certain inequalities for mixed discriminants of positive semi-definite matrices, and mixed volumes of compact convex sets in n-dimensions. Moreover, we discuss how the latter are related to the monotonicity of an…
We consider the moments of the volume of the symmetric convex hull of independent random points in an $n$-dimensional symmetric convex body. We calculate explicitly the second and fourth moments for $n$ points when the given body is $B_q^n$…
In hep-th/9805025, a result for the symmetric 3-loop massive tetrahedron in 3 dimensions was found, using the lattice algorithm PSLQ. Here we give a more general formula, involving 3 distinct masses. A proof is devised, though it cannot be…
Suppose an $n \times d$ design matrix in a linear regression problem is given, but the response for each point is hidden unless explicitly requested. The goal is to sample only a small number $k \ll n$ of the responses, and then produce a…
An analysis of the general concept of volume variation partition of a porous body is presented, introducing the breathing coefficient, defined as the ratio of two volume variations. Considering a total volume of a porous body, composed of…
Recently, we proposed a class of inequalities called lifted bilinear cover inequalities, which are second-order cone representable convex inequalities, and are valid for a set described by a separable bilinear constraint together with…
We propose a finite dimensional variational principle on triangulated 3-manifolds so that its critical points are related to solutions to Thurston's gluing equation and Haken's normal surface equation. The action functional is the volume.…
We take a unifying and new approach toward polynomial and trigonometric approximation in an arbitrary number of variables, resulting in a precise and general ready-to-use tool that anyone can easily apply in new situations of interest. The…
Let a random simplex in a d-dimensional convex body be the convex hull of d+1 random points from the body. We study the following question: As a function of the convex body, is the expected volume of a random simplex monotone non-decreasing…
