A matrix convex set is a set of the form $\mathcal{S} = \cup_{n\geq 1}\mathcal{S}_n$ (where each $\mathcal{S}_n$ is a set of $d$-tuples of $n \times n$ matrices) that is invariant under UCP maps from $M_n$ to $M_k$ and under formation of…
This paper investigates general and generalized differentiation properties of the optimal value function associated with perturbed optimization problems. Fundamental results on nearly convex sets and functions in infinite-dimensional spaces…
We investigate convex polytopes of doubly stochastic matrices having special structures: symmetric, Hankel symmetric, centrosymmetric, and both symmetric and Hankel symmetric. We determine dimensions of these polytopes and classify their…
We review some basic results of convex analysis and geometry in $\mathbb{R}^n$ in the context of formulating a differential equation to track the distance between an observer flying outside a convex set $K$ and $K$ itself.
This article investigates matrix convex sets and introduces their tracial analogs which we call contractively tracial convex sets. In both contexts completely positive (cp) maps play a central role: unital cp maps in the case of matrix…
The notion of ball convexity, considered in finite dimensional real Banach spaces, is a natural and useful extension of usual convexity; one replaces intersections of half-spaces by suitable intersections of balls. A subset $S$ of a normed…
In this paper, we establish an angle duality and a gap principle for convex combinations of incomplete polynomials, extending two results of Ge and Gonek in [IMRN, 2024].Our approach is geometric: we introduce an ``angle gain'' mechanism…
We briefly introduce several problems: (1) a generalization of the convex fair partition conjecture, (2) on non-trivial invariants among polyhedrons that can be formed from the same set of face polygons, (3) two questions on assembling…
This paper introduces some inverse sequences of different polyhedra all based on finite approximations of a compact metric space so they can be used to capture the shape type of the original space. It is shown that they are HPol-expansions,…
The Gaussian Correlation Conjecture states that for any two symmetric, convex sets in n-dimensional space and for any centered, Gaussian measure on that space, the measure of the intersection is greater than or equal to the product of the…
We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the reachable set, i.e., the set of states reachable from a ball of initial states at some time, of an ordinary differential equation to be convex. In particular, convexity is guaranteed…
We introduce different notions of polynomial convexity with bounds on degrees of polynomials in $\mathbb C^n$. We provide some examples in higher dimensions and show necessary and sufficient conditions for polynomial convexity with degree…
In this paper, we provide an equivalent condition for the Chvatal-Gomory (CG) closure of a closed convex set to be finitely-generated. Using this result, we are able to prove that, for any closed convex set that can be written as the…
The generalized divided differences are introduced. They are applied to investigate some properties characterizing generalized higher-order convexity. Among others some support-type property is proved.
We prove that every pointed closed convex set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is the intersection of all the rational closed halfspaces that contain it. This generalizes a previous result by the authors for compact convex sets.
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…
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…
We give a review of results on the minimum convex cover and maximum hidden set problems. In addition, we give some new results. First we show that it is NP-hard to determine whether a polygon has the same convex cover number as its hidden…
The correspondence between 2-parameter families of oriented lines in ${\Bbb{R}}^3$ and surfaces in $T{\Bbb{P}}^1$ is studied, and the geometric properties of the lines are related to the complex geometry of the surface. Congruences…
If we fix the angles at the vertices of a convex planar $n$-gon, the lengths of its edges must satisfy two linear constraints in order for it to close up. If we also require unit perimeter, our vectors of $n$ edge lengths form a convex…
