In this paper we discuss some affine properties of convex equal-area polygons, which are convex polygons such that all triangles formed by three consecutive vertices have the same area. Besides being able to approximate closed convex smooth…

Given an affine variety X and a finite dimensional vector space of regular functions L on X, we associate a convex body to (X, L) such that its volume is responsible for the number of solutions of a generic system of functions from L. This…

A convex geometry is a closure system satisfying the anti-exchange property. This paper, following the work of Adaricheva and Bolat (2019) and the Polymath REU (2020), continues to investigate representations of convex geometries with small…

Very recently Richter and Rogers proved that any convex geometry can be represented by a family of convex polygons in the plane. We shall generalize their construction and obtain a wide variety of convex shapes for representing convex…

Let $X$ be a finite set. A family $P$ of subsets of $X$ is called a convex geometry with ground set $X$ if (1) $\emptyset, X\in P$; (2) $A\cap B\in P$ whenever $A,B\in P$; and (3) if $A\in P$ and $A\neq X$, there is an element $\alpha\in…

We propose a new shape-based modeling technique for applications in imaging problems. Given a collection of shape priors (a shape dictionary), we define our problem as choosing the right dictionary elements and geometrically composing them…

Optimizing an implicational base of a closure system consists in turning this implicational base into an equivalent one with premises and conclusions as small as possible. This task is known to be hard in general but tractable for a number…

An orbit polytope is the convex hull of an orbit under a finite group $G \leq \operatorname{GL}(d,\mathbb{R})$. We develop a general theory of possible affine symmetry groups of orbit polytopes. For every group, we define an open and dense…

Deciding whether the union of two convex polyhedra is itself a convex polyhedron is a basic problem in polyhedral computations; having important applications in the field of constrained control and in the synthesis, analysis, verification…

In pure integer linear programming it is often desirable to work with polyhedra that are full-dimensional, and it is well known that it is possible to reduce any polyhedron to a full-dimensional one in polynomial time. More precisely, using…

The affine inverse eigenvalue problem consists of identifying a real symmetric matrix with a prescribed set of eigenvalues in an affine space. Due to its ubiquity in applications, various instances of the problem have been widely studied in…

Various characterizations of finite convex geometries are well known. This note provides similar characterizations for possibly infinite convex geometries whose lattice of closed sets is strongly coatomic and lower continuous. Some classes…

We introduce the resolvent composition, a monotonicity-preserving operation between a linear operator and a set-valued operator, as well as the proximal composition, a convexity-preserving operation between a linear operator and a function.…

We consider several basic questions pertaining to the geometry of image of a general quadratic map. In general the image of a quadratic map is non-convex, although there are several known classes of quadratic maps when the image is convex.…

A generic method for combinatorial constructions of intrinsic geometrical spaces is presented. It is based on the well known inverse sequences of finite graphs that determine (in the limit) topological spaces. If a pattern of the…

The Edelman-Jamison problem is to characterize those abstract convex geometries that are representable by a set of points in the plane. We show that some natural modification of the Edelman-Jamison problem is equivalent to the well known…
