We consider a generalization of the hyperplane problem to arbitrary measures in place of volume and to sections of lower dimensions. We prove this generalization for unconditional convex bodies and for duals of bodies with bounded volume…

We calculate the Gaussian curvature of a curved, twisted crease in terms of the rate of change of solid angle along its length; we find that this depends on the fold angle across the crease and on the curvature along it but is independent…

This article presents a new way to classify geodesics on a cone in the Euclidean 3-space. This proof is obtained considering our main result, which establishes the necessary and sufficient conditions that a curve in space must satisfy: to…

Archimedes showed that the area between a parabola and any chord $AB$ on the parabola is four thirds of the area of triangle $\Delta ABP$, where P is the point on the parabola at which the tangent is parallel to the chord $AB$. Recently,…

The behavior of the curve shortening flow has been extensively studied. Gage, Hamilton, and Grayson proved that, under the curve shortening flow, an embedded closed curve in the Euclidean plane becomes convex after a finite time and then…

This paper generalizes the notion of geometric curves such as hyperbolas and ellipses to more general vector spaces with an associated inner product. This is done by generalizing the definition in terms of loci and foci of said curves in…

The celebrated Dvoretzky theorem asserts that every $N$-dimensional convex body admits central sections of dimension $d = \Omega(\log N)$, which is nearly spherical. For many instances of convex bodies, typically unit balls with respect to…

A systematic approach has been developed to encompass the Minkowski-type extension of Euclidean geometry such that a one-vector anisotropy is permitted, retaining simultaneously the concept of angle. For the respective geometry, the…

We derive an exact formula for the volume fraction of an inclusion in a body when the inclusion and the body are linearly elastic materials with the same shear modulus. Our formula depends on an appropriate measurement of the displacement…

The purpose of this paper is to study the reflections of a convex body. In particular, we are interested in orthogonal reflections of its sections that can be extended to reflections of the whole body. For this reason, we need to study the…
