We determine upper bounds on the number of rational points of an affine or projective algebraic set defined over an extension of a finite field by a system of polynomial equations, including the case where the algebraic set is not defined…

We give a characterization of limits of dihedral groups in the space of finitely generated marked groups. We also describe the topological closure of dihedral groups in the space of marked groups on a fixed number of generators.

By using a quantum probabilistic approach we obtain a description of the extreme points of the convex set of all joint probability distributions on the product of two standard Borel spaces with fixed marginal distributions.

We analyze inexact fixed point iterations where the generating function contains an inexact solve of an equation system to answer the question of how tolerances for the inner solves influence the iteration error of the outer fixed point…

For homogeneous bilinear control systems, the control sets are characterized using a Lie algebra rank condition for the induced systems on projective space. This is based on a classical Diophantine approximation result. For affine control…

Nonexpansive mappings play a central role in modern optimization and monotone operator theory because their fixed points can describe solutions to optimization or critical point problems. It is known that when the mappings are sufficiently…

Let $\Pi$ be a convex decomposition of a set $P$ of $n\geq 3$ points in general position in the plane. If $\Pi$ consists of more than one polygon, then either $\Pi$ contains a deletable edge or $\Pi$ contains a contractible edge.

A common problem to all applications of linear finite dynamical systems is analyzing the dynamics without enumerating every possible state transition. Of particular interest is the long term dynamical behaviour. In this paper, we study the…

We establish endpoint Lebesgue space bounds for convolution and restricted X-ray transforms along curves satisfying fairly minimal differentiability hypotheses, with affine and Euclidean arclengths. We also explore the behavior of certain…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in general position on the plane. A set of closed convex polygons with vertices in $P$, and with pairwise disjoint interiors is called a convex decomposition of $P$ if their union is the convex hull of $P$,…

We show that the points that converge to infinity under iteration of the exponential map form a connected subset of the complex plane.

The convex hull of N independent random points chosen on the boundary of a simple polytope in R^n is investigated. Asymptotic formulas for the expected number of vertices and facets, and for the expectation of the volume difference are…

We introduce the notion centre of a convex set and study the space of continuous affine functions on a compact convex set with a centre. We show that these spaces are precisely the dual of a base normed space in which the underlying base…

We characterize the extreme points of the set of incentive-compatible mechanisms for screening problems with linear utility. Our framework subsumes problems with and without transfers, such as monopoly pricing, principal-optimal bilateral…

We investigate the size of fixed point sets of automorphisms of bounded domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$. In one complex variable, a nontrivial automorphism has at most two fixed points, but in higher dimensions fixed point sets need not be…

We consider the problem of characterizing the extreme points of the set of analytic functions f on the bidisk with positive real part and f(0)=1. If one restricts to those f whose Cayley transform is a rational inner function, one gets a…

For a function $f\in L^p(\Bbb R^d)$, $d\ge 2$, let $A_t f(x)$ be the mean of $f$ over the sphere of radius $t$ centered at $x$. Given a set $E\subset (0,\infty)$ of dilations we prove endpoint bounds for the maximal operator $M_E$ defined…

The problem of finding the convex hull of an IFS fractal is relevant in both theoretical and computational settings. Various methods exist that approximate it, but our aim is its exact determination. The finiteness of extremal points is…

An orbit polytope is the convex hull of an orbit under a finite group $G \leq \operatorname{GL}(d,\mathbb{R})$. We develop a general theory of possible affine symmetry groups of orbit polytopes. For every group, we define an open and dense…

We characterise completely when limit sets, as parametrised by Cannon-Thurston maps, move discontinuously for a sequence of algebraically convergent quasi-Fuchsian groups.
