The "edge polytope" of a finite graph G is the convex hull of the columns of its vertex-edge incidence matrix. We study extremal problems for this class of polytopes. For k =2, 3, 5 we determine the maximum number of vertices of…

We study the computational complexity of determining the Hausdorff distance of two polytopes given in halfspace- or vertex-presentation in arbitrary dimension. Subsequently, a matching problem is investigated where a convex body is allowed…

We introduce combinatorial types of arrangements of convex bodies, extending order types of point sets to arrangements of convex bodies, and study their realization spaces. Our main results witness a trade-off between the combinatorial…

We introduce the arithmetic width of a convex body, defined as the number of distinct values a linear functional attains on the lattice points within the body. Arithmetic width refines lattice width by detecting gaps in the lattice point…

We prove an estimate for arbitrary measure of sections of convex bodies. The proof is based on a stability result for intersection bodies.

We consider moments of the normalized volume of a symmetric or nonsymmetric random polytope in a fixed symmetric convex body. We investigate for which bodies these moments are extremized, and calculate exact values in some of the extreme…

Interpolating between the classic notions of intersection and polar centroid bodies, (real) $L_p$-intersection bodies, for $-1<p<1$, play an important role in the dual $L_p$-Brunn--Minkowski theory. Inspired by the recent construction of…

Busemann's theorem states that the intersection body of an origin-symmetric convex body is also convex. In this paper we provide a version of Busemann's theorem for p-convex bodies. We show that the intersection body of a p-convex body is…

We describe the canonical correspondence between set of all finite metric spaces and set of special symmetric convex polytopes, and formulate the problem about classification of the metric spaces in terms of combinatorial structure of those…

Approximation problems involving a single convex body in $d$-dimensional space have received a great deal of attention in the computational geometry community. In contrast, works involving multiple convex bodies are generally limited to…

We compute the volumes of convex bodies that are given by inequalities of concave polynomials. These volumes are found to arbitrary precision thanks to the representation of periods by linear differential equations. Our approach rests on…

We show that the problem to decide whether two (convex) polytopes, given by their vertex-facet incidences, are combinatorially isomorphic is graph isomorphism complete, even for simple or simplicial polytopes. On the other hand, we give a…

A polygon C is an intersecting polygon for a set O of objects in the plane if C intersects each object in O, where the polygon includes its interior. We study the problem of computing the minimum-perimeter intersecting polygon and the…

In this paper, we give an overview of some results concerning best and random approximation of convex bodies by polytopes. We explain how both are linked and see that random approximation is almost as good as best approximation.
