In 1775, Fagnano introduced the following geometric optimization problem: inscribe a triangle of minimal perimeter in a given acute-angled triangle. A widely accessible solution is provided by the Hungarian mathematician L. Fejer in 1900.…

Let $(X,d)$ be a nonempty metric space and let $n\in \mathbb N^+$. We shall say that $T\colon X\to X$ is a graphic contraction of order $n$ if there exists $\alpha\in (0,1)$ such that the inequality $$ d(T^n x,T^{2n}x) \leqslant \alpha…

Two new applications of a technique for spaceability are given in this paper. For the first time this technique is used in the investigation of the algebraic genericity property of the weak form of Peano's theorem on the existence of…

We prove that the spaces of rational curves on del Pezzo surfaces are either irreducible or empty, with a unique exception.

Kippenhahn discovered a real algebraic plane curve whose convex hull is the numerical range of a matrix. The correctness of this theorem was called into question when Chien and Nakazato found an example where the spatial analogue fails.…

We show that for every positive integer n there is a simple closed curve in the plane (which can be taken infinitely differentiable and convex) which has exactly n inscribed squares.

Given a function f in the exterior of a convex curve in the real plane, we prove that if the restrictions of f to the tangent lines to the curve extend as entire functions, then the function f is an entire function of two variables.

We state that any constant curvature Riemannian metric with conical singularities of constant sign curvature on a compact (orientable) surface $S$ can be realized as a convex polyhedron in a Riemannian or Lorentzian) space-form. Moreover…

We construct a H\"older continuous function on the unit interval which coincides in uncountably (in fact continuum) many points with every function of total variation smaller than 1 passing through the origin. We say that a function with…

Convexity is a notion that has been defined for subsets of $\RR^n$ and for subsets of general graphs. A convex cut of a graph $G=(V, E)$ is a $2$-partition $V_1 \dot{\cup} V_2=V$ such that both $V_1$ and $V_2$ are convex, \ie shortest paths…

In this paper the problem of the existence of regular nut graphs is addressed. A generalization of Fowler's Construction which is a local enlargement applied to a vertex in a graph is introduced to generate nut graphs of higher order. Let…

We give a variational proof of the existence and uniqueness of a convex cap with the given upper boundary. The proof uses the concavity of the total scalar curvature functional on the space of generalized convex caps. As a byproduct, we…

Tripod configurations of plane curves, formed by certain triples of normal lines coinciding at a point, were introduced by Tabachnikov, who showed that $C^2$ closed convex curves possess at least two tripod configurations. Later, Kao and…

The subject of graph convexity is well explored in the literature, the so-called interval convexities above all. In this work, we explore the cycle convexity, an interval convexity whose interval function is $I(S) = S \cup \{u \mid G[S \cup…

In this paper, we prove the existence of fixed points of mappings satisfying the condition (Da), a kind of generalized nonexpansive mappings, on a weakly compact convex subset in a Banach space satisfying Opial's condition. And we use…

O. H. Keller conjectured in 1930 that in any tiling of $\Bbb R^n$ by unit $n$-cubes there exist two of them having a complete facet in common. O. Perron proved this conjecture for $n\le 6$. We show that for all $n\ge 10$ there exists a…

In this work, which was inspired by the article [2] by M. V. Velasco and A. R. Villena, we obtain a characterization for probably continuous operators and show that the probability of a linear random operator being continuous coincides with…

The radial mean bodies of parameter $p>-1$ of a convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb R^n$ are radial sets introduced in [4] by Gardner and Zhang. They are known to be convex for $p\geq 0$. We prove that if $K \subseteq \mathbb R^2$ is a convex…

Space curve motion describes dynamics of material defects or interfaces, can be found in image processing or vortex dynamics. This article analyses some properties of space curves evolved by the curve shortening flow. In contrast to the…

This paper concerns the evolution of complete noncompact locally uniformly convex hypersurface in Euclidean space by curvature flow, for which the normal speed $\Phi$ is given by a power $\beta\geq 1$ of a monotone symmetric and homogeneous…
