We study counting limit laws that compare length functions on infinite graphs. We then apply these results to flat surfaces to obtain a statistical comparison between the geometric length and the number of singularities visited by geodesic…

Energy-minimizing constraint maps are a natural extension of the obstacle problem within a vectorial framework. Due to inherent topological constraints, these maps manifest a diverse structure that includes singularities similar to harmonic…

We present a constructive lower bound of $\Omega(1/\sqrt{\varepsilon})$ for Frank-Wolfe (FW) when both the objective and the constraint set are smooth and strongly convex, showing that the known uniform $\mathcal{O}(1/\sqrt{\varepsilon})$…

In this paper we compare the different phenomena that occur when intersecting geometric objects with random geodesics on the unit sphere and inside convex bodies. On the high dimensional sphere we see that with probability bounded away from…

In homogenous space Sol we study compact surfaces with constant mean curvature and with non-empty boundary. We ask how the geometry of the boundary curve imposes restrictions over all possible configurations that the surface can adopt. We…

The excursion set of a $C^2$ smooth random field carries relevant information in its various geometric measures. From a computational viewpoint, one never has access to the continuous observation of the excursion set, but rather to…

This paper develops a uniformly valid and asymptotically nonconservative test based on projection for a class of shape restrictions. The key insight we exploit is that these restrictions form convex cones, a simple and yet elegant structure…

This paper concerns the geometry of bicycle tracks. We model bicycle as an oriented segment of a fixed length that is moving in the Euclidean plane so that the trajectory of the rear point is tangent to the segment at all times. The…

We consider mesh functions which are discrete convex in the sense that their central second order directional derivatives are positive. Analogous to the case of a uniformly bounded sequence of convex functions, we prove that the uniform…

Surface area and mean width of a cylinder (the convex hull of two parallel disks) in R^3 are computed. It is more difficult to obtain analogous results for a cone (the convex hull of a disk D and a point p). Oblique formulas for mean width,…
