We study the problem of gravity surface waves for an ideal fluid model in the (2+1)-dimensional case. We apply a systematic procedure to derive the Boussinesq equations for a given relation between the orders of four expansion parameters,…

We study the convex hull of a set $S\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ defined by three quadratic inequalities. A simple way of generating inequalities valid on $S$ is to take nonnegative linear combinations of the defining inequalities of $S$. We call…

Polypols are natural generalizations of polytopes, with boundaries given by nonlinear algebraic hypersurfaces. We describe polypols in the plane and in 3-space that admit a unique adjoint hypersurface and study them from an…

We give new proofs of the description convex hulls of space curves $\gamma : [a,b] \mapsto \mathbb{R}^{d}$ having totally positive torsion. These are curves such that all the leading principal minors of $d\times d$ matrix $(\gamma',…

In $d$-dimensional space (over any field), given a set of lines, a joint is a point passed through by $d$ lines not all lying in some hyperplane. The joints problem asks to determine the maximum number of joints formed by $L$ lines, and it…

Discrete de Rham (DDR) methods provide non-conforming but compatible approximations of the continuous de Rham complex on general polytopal meshes. Owing to the non-conformity, several challenges arise in the analysis of these methods. In…

In this paper, motivated by the work of Edelman and Strang, we show that for fixed integers $d\geq 2$ and $n\geq d+1$ the configuration space of all facet volume vectors of all $d$-polytopes in $\mathbb R^{d}$ with $n$ facets is a full…

We extend Freiman's inequality on the cardinality of the sumset of a $d$ dimensional set. We consider different sets related by an inclusion of their convex hull, and one of them added possibly several times.

The new result of this paper connected with the following problem: Consider a supporting hyperplane of a regular simplex and its re ected image at this hyperplane. When will be the volume of the convex hull of these two simplices maximal?…

A dissection of a convex d-polytope is a partition of the polytope into d-simplices whose vertices are among the vertices of the polytope. Triangulations are dissections that have the additional property that the set of all its simplices…

In this work we deal with the problem of support estimation under shape restrictions. The shape restriction we deal with is an extension of the notion of convexity named alpha-convexity. Instead of assuming, as in the convex case, the…

We show that one can enumerate the vertices of the convex hull of integer points in polytopes whose constraint matrices have bounded and nonzero subdeterminants, in time polynomial in the dimension and encoding size of the polytope. This…

Let $K\subseteq{\mathbb R}^n$ be a convex semialgebraic set. The semidefinite extension degree ${\mathrm{sxdeg}}(K)$ of $K$ is the smallest number $d$ such that $K$ is a linear image of an intersection of finitely many spectrahedra, each of…

Given a polytope P in $\mathbb{R}^n$, we say that P has a positive semidefinite lift (psd lift) of size d if one can express P as the linear projection of an affine slice of the positive semidefinite cone $\mathbf{S}^d_+$. If a polytope P…

Given a directed graph D = (N, A) and a sequence of positive integers 1 <= c_1 < c_2 < ... < c_m <= |N|, we consider those path and cycle polytopes that are defined as the convex hulls of simple paths and cycles of D of cardinality c_p for…

We prove the following theorem, which is related to McMullen's problem on projective transformations of polytopes; let $2\leq k\leq \lfloor{\frac{d}{2}}\rfloor$ and $\nu{(d, k)}$ be the largest number such that any set of $\nu{(d,k)}$…

For a natural number d and a d-dimensional real vector r let Tau(r) denote the (d-dimensional) shift radix system associated with r. Tau(r) is said to have the finiteness property iff all orbits of Tau(r) end up in the zero vector; the set…

One classical result of Freimann gives the optimal lower bound for the cardinality of A+A if A is a d-dimensional finite set in the Euclidean d-space. Matolcsi and Ruzsa have recently generalized this lower bound to |A+kB| if B is…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\R^d$, let $j\in\{1, ..., d-1\}$, and let $\varrho$ be a positive and continuous probability density function with respect to the $(d-1)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure on the boundary $\partial K$ of $K$. Denote…

Let $\lambda$ be a dominant weight of a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra and $W$ the Weyl group. The convex hull of $W\lambda$ is defined as the weight polytope of $\lambda$. We provide a new proof that there is a natural bijection…
