The classical serendipity and mixed finite element spaces suffer from poor approximation on nondegenerate, convex quadrilaterals. In this paper, we develop $\textit{direct serendipity}$ and $\textit{direct mixed}$ finite element spaces,…

Building sets were introduced in the study of wonderful compactifications of hyperplane arrangement complements and were later generalized to finite meet-semilattices. Convex geometries, the duals of antimatroids, offer a robust…

Suppose that N is a geometrically finite orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold. Let P(N,C) be the space of all geometrically finite hyperbolic structures on N whose convex core is bent along a set C of simple closed curves. We prove that the map…

The Andreev-Thurston Circle Packing Theorem is generalized to packings of convex bodies in planar simply connected domains. This turns out to be a useful tool for constructing conformal and quasiconformal mappings with interesting geometric…

Efficient representations of convex sets are of crucial importance for many algorithms that work with them. It is well-known that sometimes, a complicated convex set can be expressed as the projection of a much simpler set in higher…

A set in the Euclidean plane is said to be biconvex if, for some angle $\theta\in[0,\pi/2)$, all its sections along straight lines with inclination angles $\theta$ and $\theta+\pi/2$ are convex sets (i.e, empty sets or segments).…

K\"unzi and Yildiz introduced convexity structures in the sense of Takahashi for $T_{0}$-quasi-metric spaces. In this article, we continue this line of study on the Isbell-convex hull of an asymmetrically normed real vector space. Using the…

Variational analysis presents a unified theory encompassing in particular both smoothness and convexity. In a Euclidean space, convex sets and smooth manifolds both have straightforward local geometry. However, in the most basic hybrid case…

We present a convex geometry perspective to the Effective Field Theory (EFT) parameter space. We show that the second $s$ derivatives of the forward EFT amplitudes form a convex cone, whose extremal rays are closely connected with states in…

We give several different geometric characterizations of the situation in which the parallel set $F_\epsilon$ of a self-similar set $F$ can be described by the inner $\epsilon$-parallel set $T_{-\epsilon}$ of the associated canonical tiling…

The notion of a linear Coxeter system introduced by Vinberg generalizes the geometric representation of a Coxeter group. Our main theorem asserts that if $v$ is an element of the Tits cone of a linear Coxeter system and $\cW$ is the…

Real projective structures on $n$-orbifolds are useful in understanding the space of representations of discrete groups into $\mathrm{SL}(n+1, \mathbb{R})$ or $\mathrm{PGL}(n+1, \mathbb{R})$. A recent work shows that many hyperbolic…

We examine the metrics that arise when a finite set of points is embedded in the real line, in such a way that the distance between each pair of points is at least 1. These metrics are closely related to some other known metrics in the…

We study the convex hull of a set $S\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ defined by three quadratic inequalities. A simple way of generating inequalities valid on $S$ is to take nonnegative linear combinations of the defining inequalities of $S$. We call…
