In this work we prove that either a sequence of axes of symmetry or a sequence of hyperplanes of symmetry of a convex body $K$ in the Euclidean space $E^d, d>2$, are enough to guarantee that $K$ is a generalized body of revolution (and in…

This paper addresses the fundamental question of when convex sets remain disjoint after random projection. We provide an analysis using ideas from high-dimensional convex geometry. For ellipsoids, we provide a bound in terms of the distance…

In this paper we study the class of so called `ball-bodies' in ${\mathbb R}^n$, given by intersections of translates of Euclidean unit balls (or, equivalently, summand of the Euclidean ball). We study the class along with the natural…

We determine when a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is the closed unit ball of a reasonable crossnorm on $\mathbb{R}^{d_1}\otimes\cdots\otimes\mathbb{R}^{d_l},$ $d=d_1\cdots d_l.$ We call these convex bodies "tensorial bodies". We prove that,…

In this paper we proved the following: \emph{Let $K, L\subset \mathbb R^3$ be two $O$-symmetric convex bodies with $L\subset \emph{int} K$ strictly convex. Suppose that from every $x$ in $\emph{bd} K$ the graze $\Sigma(L,x)$ is a planar…

In this note we examine the volume of the convex hull of two congruent copies of a convex body in Euclidean $n$-space, under some subsets of the isometry group of the space. We prove inequalities for this volume if the two bodies are…

A representation of a finitely generated group into the projective general linear group is called convex co-compact if it has finite kernel and its image acts convex co-compactly on a properly convex domain in real projective space. We…

This article is devoted to the study of classical and new results concerning equidistant sets, both from the topological and metric point of view. We start with a review of the most interesting known facts about these sets in the euclidean…

Let M be a smooth strictly convex closed surface in space and denote by H the set of points x in the exterior of M such that all the tangent segments from x to M have equal lengths. In this note we prove that if H is either a closed surface…

High proved the following theorem. If the intersections of any two congruent copies of a plane convex body are centrally symmetric, then this body is a circle. In our paper we extend the theorem of High to spherical, Euclidean and…

Segmentation of overlapping convex objects has various applications, for example, in nanoparticles and cell imaging. Often the segmentation method has to rely purely on edges between the background and foreground making the analyzed images…

There were obtained some properties of weakly m-convex sets. Various kinds of the problem of shadow were investigated. There was obtained the lower estimation for the number of balls that are necessary to create a shadow at the point of the…

A systematic approach has been developed to encompass the Minkowski-type extension of Euclidean geometry such that a one-vector anisotropy is permitted, retaining simultaneously the concept of angle. For the respective geometry, the…

Let $S$ be a complete flat surface, such as the Euclidean plane. We obtain direct characterizations of the connected components of the space of all curves on $S$ which start and end at given points in given directions, and whose curvatures…

For a convex body on the Euclidean unit sphere the spherical convex floating body is introduced. The asymptotic behavior of the volume difference of a spherical convex body and its spherical floating body is investigated. This gives rise to…

The geometry of closed surfaces equipped with a Euclidean metric with finitely many conical points of arbitrary angle is studied. The main result is that the set of closed geodesics is dense in the space of geodesics.

A convex body K has associated with it a unique circumscribed ellipsoid CE(K) with minimum volume, and a unique inscribed ellipsoid IE(K) with maximum volume. We first give a unified, modern exposition of the basic theory of these extremal…

In this paper, we introduce a new method for classifying 3D objects. Our main idea is to project a 3D object onto a spherical domain centered around its barycenter and develop neural network to classify the spherical projection. We…

We say that a star body $K$ is completely symmetric if it has centroid at the origin and its symmetry group $G$ forces any ellipsoid whose symmetry group contains $G$, to be a ball. In this short note, we prove that if all central sections…

Visual insights into a wide variety of statistical methods, for both didactic and data analytic purposes, can often be achieved through geometric diagrams and geometrically based statistical graphs. This paper extols and illustrates the…
