In a paper published in 2020 in Studia Mathematica, Abrahamsen et al. proved that in the real space $L_1(\mu)$, where $\mu$ is a non-zero $\sigma$-finite (countably additive non-negative) measure, norm-one elements in finite convex…

We establish Central Limit Theorems for the volumes of intersections of $B_{p}^n$ (the unit ball of $\ell_p^n$) with uniform random subspaces of codimension $d$ for fixed $d$ and $n\to \infty$. As a corollary we obtain higher order…

We study the n-dimensional problem of finding the smallest ball enclosing the intersection of p given balls, the so-called Chebyshev center problem (CCB). It is a minimax optimization problem and the inner maximization is a uniform…

Consider the regular $n$-simplex $\Delta_n$ - it is formed by the convex-hull of $n+1$ points in Euclidean space, with each pair of points being in distance exactly one from each other. We prove an exact bound on the width of $\Delta_n$…

The Rolling Ball Theorem asserts that given a convex body K in Euclidean space and having a smooth surface bd(K) with all principal curvatures not exceeding c>0 at all boundary points, K necessarily has the property that to each boundary…

We consider the analogue of Rayleigh's conjecture for the clamped plate in Euclidean space weighted by a log-convex density. We show that the lowest eigenvalue of the bi-Laplace operator with drift in a given domain is bounded below by a…

We reconsider the Schr\"oder-Siegel problem of conjugating an analytic map in $\mathbb{C}$ in the neighborhood of a fixed point to its linear part, extending it to the case of dimension $n>1$. Assuming a condition which is equivalent to…

An elegant characterization of the complexity of constraint satisfaction problems has emerged in the form of the the algebraic dichotomy conjecture of [BKJ00]. Roughly speaking, the characterization asserts that a CSP {\Lambda} is tractable…

In this paper we study the functional given by the integral of the mean curvature of a convex set with Gaussian weight with Gaussian volume constraint. It was conjectured that the ball centered at the origin is the only minimizer of such a…

We consider cylindrical algebraic decompositions (CADs) as a tool for representing semi-algebraic subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$. In this framework, a CAD $\mathscr{C}$ is adapted to a given set $S$ if $S$ is a union of cells of $\mathscr{C}$.…

Let $b,n\in \mathbb{Z}$, $n\geq 1$, and ${\cal D}_1, \ldots, {\cal D}_{\tau(n)}$ be all positive divisors of $n$. For $1\leq l \leq \tau(n)$, define ${\cal C}_l:=\lbrace 1 \leqslant x\leqslant n \; : \; (x,n)={\cal D}_l\rbrace$. In this…

Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ random matrix with i.i.d. entries of zero mean, unit variance and a bounded subgaussian moment. We show that the condition number $s_{\max}(A)/s_{\min}(A)$ satisfies the small ball probability estimate $${\mathbb…

Let $K$ and $K_0$ be convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^d$, such that $K$ contains the origin, and define the process $(K_n, p_n)$, $n \geq 0$, as follows: let $p_{n+1}$ be a uniform random point in $K_n$, and set $K_{n+1} = K_n \cap (p_{n+1} +…

Best approximation (BA) is an interesting field in functional analysis that has attracted a lot of attention from many researchers for a very long period of time up-to-date. Of greatest consideration is the characterization of the Chebyshev…

The sum of the first $n \geq 1$ eigenvalues of the Laplacian is shown to be maximal among simplexes for the regular simplex (the regular tetrahedron, in three dimensions), maximal among parallelepipeds for the hypercube, and maximal among…

Let $M^d$ be the spherical, Euclidean, or hyperbolic space of dimension $d\ge n+1$. Given any degenerate $(n+1)$-simplex $\mathbf{A}$ in $M^d$ with non-degenerate $n$-faces $F_i$, there is a natural partition of the set of $n$-faces into…

The notion of ball convexity, considered in finite dimensional real Banach spaces, is a natural and useful extension of usual convexity; one replaces intersections of half-spaces by suitable intersections of balls. A subset $S$ of a normed…

Let $S=\sum_{i=1}^{+\infty}\lambda_{i}Z_{i}$ where the $Z_{i}$'s are i.d.d. positive with $\mathbb{E}\| Z\| ^{3}<+\infty$ and $(\lambda_{i})_{i\in\mathbb{N}}$ a positive nonincreasing sequence such that $\sum\lambda_{i}<+\infty$. We study…

Suppose that to every non-degenerate simplex Delta in n-dimensional Euclidean space a `center' C(Delta) is assigned so that the following assumptions hold: (i) The map that assigns C(Delta) to Delta commutes with similarities and is…

We study the question whether Lipschitz minimizers of $\int F(\nabla u)\,dx$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ are $C^1$ when $F$ is strictly convex. Building on work of De Silva-Savin, we confirm the $C^1$ regularity when $D^2F$ is positive and bounded…
