The implicit convex feasibility problem attempts to find a point in the intersection of a finite family of convex sets, some of which are not explicitly determined but may vary. We develop simultaneous and sequential projection methods…

We study a specific convex maximization problem in n-dimensional space. The conjectured solution is proved to be a vertex of the polyhedral feasible region, but only a partial proof of local maximality is known. Integer sequences with…

We consider the problem of lower bounding a generalized Minkowski measure of subsets of a convex body with a log-concave probability measure, conditioned on the set size. A bound is given in terms of diameter and set size, which is sharp…

In this note we study the maximal perimeter of a convex set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with respect to various classes of measures. Firstly, we show that for a probability measure $\mu$ on $ \mathbb{R}^n$, satisfying very mild assumptions, there…

Let $S_\infty=A_\infty\times B_\infty$ be a self-similar product Cantor set in the complex plane, defined via $S_\infty=\bigcup_{j=1}^L T_j(S_\infty)$, where $T_j:\C\to\C$ have the form $T_j(z)=\frac1{L}z+z_j$ and $\{z_1,...,z_L\}=A+iB$ for…

We present an algorithm for approximately solving bounded convex vector optimization problems. The algorithm provides both an outer and an inner polyhedral approximation of the upper image. It is a modification of the primal algorithm…

Chance constraints are a valuable tool for the design of safe decisions in uncertain environments; they are used to model satisfaction of a constraint with a target probability. However, because of possible non-convexity and non-smoothness,…

In this paper we deal with the classical problem of random cover times. We investigate the distribution of the time it takes for a Poisson process of cylinders to cover a set $A \subset \mathbb{R}^d.$ This Poisson process of cylinders is…
