In this paper we investigate real convex-transitive Banach spaces X, which admit a 1-dimensional bicontractive projection P on X. Various mild conditions regarding the weak topology and the geometry of the norm are provided, which guarantee…

The article continues the study of the 'regular' arrangement of a collection of sets near a point in their intersection. Such regular intersection or, in other words, transversality properties are crucial for the validity of qualification…

Amenability is a geometric property of convex cones that is stronger than facial exposedness and assists in the study of error bounds for conic feasibility problems. In this paper we establish numerous properties of amenable cones, and…

We revisit the problem of property testing for convex position for point sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Our results draw from previous ideas of Czumaj, Sohler, and Ziegler (ESA 2000). First, the algorithm is redesigned and its analysis is revised…

While intersections of convex sets are convex, their unions have rather complicated behavior. Some natural contexts where they appear include duality arguments involving boundaries of convex sets and valuations, which have an Euler…

The closed string field theory minimal-area problem asks for the conformal metric of least area on a Riemann surface with the condition that all non-contractible closed curves have length at least 2\pi. Through every point in such a metric…

The notion of regular pair $(A,B)$ for two nonempty closed convex subsets $A$ and~$B$ of a Hilbert space $\H$ was introduced by Borwein and Bauschke in 1993 to ensure convergence (in norm) of the alternating projection method to some point…
