In this paper, we continue the study of the Killing symmetries of a N-dimensional generalized Minkowski space, i.e. a space endowed with a (in general non-diagonal) metric tensor, whose coefficients do depend on a set of non-metrical…
In this paper we state a one-to-one connection between the maximal ratio of the circumradius and the diameter of a body (the Jung constant) in an arbitrary Minkowski space and the maximal Minkowski asymmetry of the complete bodies within…
The diameter of a strongly connected $d$-dimensional simplicial complex is the diameter of its dual graph. We provide a probabilistic proof of the existence of $d$-dimensional simplicial complexes with diameter $ (\frac{1}{d \cdot d!} -…
Using an optimal containment approach, we quantify the asymmetry of convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with respect to reflections across affine subspaces of a given dimension. We prove general inequalities relating these ''Minkowski…
In this paper, we introduce the concept of N-dimensional generalized Minkowski space, i.e. a space endowed with a (in general non-diagonal) metric tensor, whose coefficients do depend on a set of non-metrical coodinates. This is the first…
Minkowski's 2nd theorem in the Geometry of Numbers provides optimal upper and lower bounds for the volume of a $o$-symmetric convex body in terms of its successive minima. In this paper we study extensions of this theorem from two different…
For a collection of convex bodies $P_1,\dots,P_n \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ containing the origin, a Minkowski complex is given by those subsets whose Minkowski sum does not contain a fixed basepoint. Every simplicial complex can be realized as…
We present explicit constructions of centrally symmetric 2-neighborly d-dimensional polytopes with about 3^{d/2} = (1.73)^d vertices and of centrally symmetric k-neighborly d-polytopes with about 2^{c_k d} vertices where c_k=3/20 k^2 2^k.…
It is a classical fact, that given an arbitrary n-dimensional convex body, there exists an appropriate sequence of Minkowski symmetrizations (or Steiner symmetrizations), that converges in Hausdorff metric to a Euclidean ball. Here we…
In this article a definition of optimal cover for fractal structures is proposed. Expression for Minkowsky dimension is rewritten in terms of functional equation on areas of covers that constructed for different scales.Given the definition,…
Minkowski's second theorem on successive minima asserts that the volume of a 0-symmetric convex body K over the covolume of a lattice \Lambda can be bounded above by a quantity involving all the successive minima of K with respect to…
In this paper, we study the problem of computing the diameter of a set of $n$ points in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space for a fixed dimension $d$, and propose a new $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm with $O(n+ 1/\varepsilon^{d-1})$…
We highlight the relation between the projective geometries of $n$-dimensional Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic spaces through the projective models of these spaces in the $n+1$-dimensional Minkowski space, using a cross ratio notion…

For any two configurations of ordered points $p=(p_{1},...,\p_{N})$ and $q=(q_{1},...,q_{N})$ in Euclidean space $E^d$ such that $q$ is an expansion of $p$, there exists a continuous expansion from $p$ to $q$ in dimension 2d; Bezdek and…

Geometrical objects with integral sides have attracted mathematicians for ages. For example, the problem to prove or to disprove the existence of a perfect box, that is, a rectangular parallelepiped with all edges, face diagonals and space…
We investigate the asymptotic structure of electromagnetism in Minkowski space in even and odd spacetime dimensions $\geq 4$. We focus on $d>4$ since the case $d=4$ has been studied previously at length. We first consider spatial infinity…
Since the end of the 19th century, and after the works of F. Klein and H. Poincar\'e, it is well known that models of elliptic geometry and hyperbolic geometry can be given using projective geometry, and that Euclidean geometry can be seen…
Let F(X) be the set of finite nonempty subsets of a set X. We have found the necessary and sufficient conditions under which for a given function f:F(X)-->R there is an ultrametric on X such that f(A)=diam A for every A\in F(X). For finite…
