In this paper, we establish an angle duality and a gap principle for convex combinations of incomplete polynomials, extending two results of Ge and Gonek in [IMRN, 2024].Our approach is geometric: we introduce an ``angle gain'' mechanism…

This article describes a method to compute successive convex approximations of the convex hull of a set of points in R^n that are the solutions to a system of polynomial equations over the reals. The method relies on sums of squares of…

$\mathbb B$-convexity was defined in [7] as a suitable Kuratowski-Painlev\'e upper limit of linear convexities over a finite dimensional Euclidean vector space. Excepted in the special case where convex sets are subsets of $\mathbb R^n_ +$,…

An incremental approach for computation of convex hull for data points in two-dimensions is presented. The algorithm is not output-sensitive and costs a time that is linear in the size of data points at input. Graham's scan is applied only…

We initiate the study of matrix convexity for operator spaces. We define the notion of compact rectangular matrix convex set, and prove the natural analogs of the Krein-Milman and the bipolar theorems in this context. We deduce a canonical…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points on the plane in general position. We say that a set $\Gamma$ of convex polygons with vertices in $P$ is a convex decomposition of $P$ if: Union of all elements in $\Gamma$ is the convex hull of $P,$ every…

Convex geometries form a subclass of closure systems with unique criticals, or $UC$-systems. We show that the $F$-basis introduced in [1] for $UC$-systems, becomes optimum in convex geometries, in two essential parts of the basis: right…

The first part of the paper centers in the study of embeddability between partially commutative groups. In [KK], for a finite simplicial graph $\Gamma$, the authors introduce an infinite, locally infinite graph $\Gamma^e$, called the…
