In this note we examine the volume of the convex hull of two congruent copies of a convex body in Euclidean $n$-space, under some subsets of the isometry group of the space. We prove inequalities for this volume if the two bodies are…

In 1969, Vic Klee asked whether a convex body is uniquely determined (up to translation and reflection in the origin) by its inner section function, the function giving for each direction the maximal area of sections of the body by…

This paper develops a correspondence relating convex hulls of fractional functions with those of polynomial functions over the same domain. Using this result, we develop a number of new reformulations and relaxations for fractional…

Speakman and Lee (2017) gave a formula for the volume of the convex hull of the graph of a trilinear monomial, $y=x_1x_2x_3$, over a box in the nonnegative orthant, in terms of the upper and lower bounds on the variables. This was done in…

At a first glance, the problem of illuminating the boundary of a convex body by external light sources and the problem of covering a convex body by its smaller positive homothetic copies appear to be quite different. They are in fact two…

This study focuses on convex functions and their generalized. Thus, we start this study by giving the definition of convex functions and some of their properties and discussing a simple geometric property. Then we generalize E-convex…

We define floating bodies in the class of $n$-dimensional ball-convex bodies. A right derivative of volume of these floating bodies leads to a surface area measure for ball-convex bodies which we call relative affine surface area. We show…

Solving difficult mixed-integer nonlinear programs via spatial branch-and-bound requires effective convex outer-approximations of nonconvex sets. In this framework, complex problem formulations are decomposed into simpler library functions,…
