We continue the study in the setting of pluripotential theory arising from polynomials associated to a convex body $C$ in $({\bf R}^+)^d$. Here we discuss $C-$Robin functions and their applications. In the particular case where $C$ is a…

We prove a version of the Bernstein-Walsh theorem on uniform polynomial approximation of holomorphic functions on compact sets in several complex variables. Here we consider subclasses of the full polynomial space associated to a convex…

We generalize the Bernstein-Walsh-Siciak theorem on polynomial approximation in $\mathbb{C}^n$ to the case where the polynomial ring $\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{C}^n)$ is replaced by a subring $\mathcal{P}^S(\mathbb{C}^n)$ consisting of all…

In their seminal paper, Berman and Boucksom exploited ideas from complex geometry to analyze asymptotics of spaces of holomorphic sections of tensor powers of certain line bundles $L$ over compact, complex manifolds as the power grows. This…

We provide a specific representation of convex polynomials nonnegative on a convex (not necessarily compact) basic closed semi-algebraic subset K of Rn. Namely, they belong to a specific subset of the quadratic module generated by the…

In this paper we discuss a couple of observations related to polynomial convexity. More precisely, (i) We observe that the union of finitely many disjoint closed balls with centres in $\cup_{\theta\in[0,\pi/2]}e^{i\theta}V$ is polynomially…

This paper is a survey of plurisubharmonic theory where the usual polynomial ring is replaced by a polynomial ring $\mathcal P^S(\mathbb C^n)$ where the $m$-th degree polynomials have exponents restricted to $mS$, where $S\subseteq \mathbb…

We discuss the Siciak-Zaharjuta extremal function of pluripotential theory for the unit ball in C^d for spaces of polynomials with the notion of degree determined by a convex body P. We then use it to analyze the approximation properties of…

We prove that for any norm |*| in the d-dimensional real vector space V and for any odd n>0 there is a non-negative polynomial p(x), x in V of degree 2n such that p^{1/2n}(x) < |x| < c(n,d) p^{1/2n}(x), where c(n,d)={n+d-1 choose n}^{1/2n}.…

A natural model for the approximation of a convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ by random polytopes is obtained as follows. Take a stationary Poisson hyperplane process in the space, and consider the random polytope $Z_K$ defined as the…

We study approximations of smooth convex bodies by random ball-polytopes. We examine the following probability model: let $K\subset{\bf R}^d$ be a convex body such that $K$ slides freely in a ball of radius $R>0$ and has $C^2$ smooth…

In this work we prove constructively that the complement ${\mathbb R}^n\setminus{\mathcal K}$ of an $n$-dimensional unbounded convex polyhedron ${\mathcal K}\subset{\mathbb R}^n$ and the complement ${\mathbb R}^n\setminus{\rm Int}({\mathcal…

Many star bodies have convex subsets with approximately the same Gaussian measure (of the complement). Inspired by this phenomenon, and in connection with the randomized Dvoretzky theorem for Lorentz spaces, we derive bounds on the…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^d$ which slides freely in a ball. Let $K^{(n)}$ denote the intersection of $n$ closed half-spaces containing $K$ whose bounding hyperplanes are independent and identically distributed according to a…

We provide some conditions for the graph of a Hoelder-continuous function on \bar{D}, where \bar{D} is a closed disc in the complex plane, to be polynomially convex. Almost all sufficient conditions known to date --- provided the function…

Let $V\subset\R^m$ be a centrally symmetric convex body and let $V^*\subset\R^m$ be its polar. We prove limit relations between the sharp constants in the multivariate Markov-Bernstein-Nikolskii type inequalities for algebraic polynomials…

We give an elementary introduction to some recent polyhedral techniques for understanding and solving systems of multivariate polynomial equations. We provide numerous concrete examples and illustrations, and assume no background in…

A convex-polynomial is a convex combination of the monomials $\{1, x, x^2, \ldots\}$. This paper establishes that the convex-polynomials on $\mathbb R$ are dense in $L^p(\mu)$ and weak$^*$ dense in $L^\infty(\mu)$, precisely when…

For a function $f$, continuous on a compact convex set $K$ and analytic in its interior we construct a sequence of almost optimal polynomials that converge with a geometric rate at points of analyticity of $f$.

We consider the set of the power non-negative polynomials of several variables and its subset that consists of polynomials which can be represented as a sum of squares. It is shown in the classic work by D.Hilbert that it is a proper…
