We prove several estimates for the moments of arbitrary measures on convex bodies. We apply these estimates to show a new slicing inequality for measures on convex bodies. We also deduce estimates for the outer volume ratio distance from an…
We present an algorithm for computing the so-called Beer-index of a polygon $P$ in $O(n^2)$ time, where $n$ is the number of corners. The polygon $P$ may have holes. The Beer-index is the probability that two points chosen independently and…
We consider the number of distinct distances between two finite sets of points in ${\bf R}^k$, for any constant dimension $k\ge 2$, where one set $P_1$ consists of $n$ points on a line $l$, and the other set $P_2$ consists of $m$ arbitrary…
