It is well known that if $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ is an analytic set of Hausdorff dimension $a$, then $\dim_H(\pi_VA)=\min\{a,k\}$ for a.e.\ $V\in G(n,k)$, where $G(n,k)$ denotes the set of all $k$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^n$…

We consider the problem of assigning radii to a given set of points in the plane, such that the resulting set of circles is connected, and the sum of radii is minimized. We show that the problem is polynomially solvable if a connectivity…

It is known that every closed curve of length \leq 4 in R^n (n>0) can be surrounded by a sphere of radius 1, and that this is the best bound. Letting S denote the circle of circumference 4, with the arc-length metric, we here express this…

We study complete minimal graphs in HxR, which take asymptotic boundary values plus and minus infinity on alternating sides of an ideal inscribed polygon Γ in H. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on the "lenghts" of the sides…

If $X$ is an analytic metric space satisfying a very mild doubling condition, then for any finite Borel measure $\mu$ on $X$ there is a set $N\subseteq X$ such that $\mu(N)>0$, an ultrametric space $Z$ and a Lipschitz bijection $\phi:N\to…

A lower bound on the minimum degree of the plane algebraic curves containing every point in a large point-set $K$ of the Desarguesian plane $PG(2,q)$ is obtained. The case where $K$ is a maximal $(k,n)$-arc is considered to greater extent.

Let $\mathcal{G}(d,n)$ be the Grassmannian manifold of $n$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, and let $\pi_{V} \colon \mathbb{R}^{d} \to V$ be the orthogonal projection. We prove that if $\mu$ is a compactly supported Radon measure…

If $X$ is a smooth curve such that the minimal degree of its plane models is not too small compared with its genus, then $X$ has been known to be a double cover of another smooth curve $Y$ under some mild condition on the genera. However…

We prove that for any non-symmetric irreducible divisible convex set, the proximal limit set is the full projective boundary.

This paper concerns the intermediate dimensions, a spectrum of dimensions that interpolate between the Hausdorff and box dimensions. Potential theoretic methods are used to produce dimension bounds for images of sets under H\"older maps and…

Given a finite set, $X$, of points in projective space for which the Hilbert function is known, a standard result says that there exists a subset of this finite set whose Hilbert function is ``as big as possible'' inside $X$. Given a finite…

In a previous paper by the authors the existence of Haar projections with growing norms in Sobolev-Triebel-Lizorkin spaces has been shown via a probabilistic argument. This existence was sufficient to determine the precise range of…

Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane, $\wp(S)$ be the set of all simple polygons crossing $S$, $\gamma_P$ be the maximum angle of polygon $P \in \wp(S)$ and $\theta =min_{P\in\wp(S)} \gamma_P$. In this paper, we prove that…

A blocking set in an affine plane is a set of points $B$ such that every line contains at least one point of $B$. The best known lower bound for blocking sets in arbitrary (non-desarguesian) affine planes was derived in the 1980's by Bruen…

For an ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring over a field, a monomial support of $I$ is the set of monomials that appear as terms in a set of minimal generators of $I$. Craig Huneke asked whether the size of a monomial support is a bound for the…

Let $P$ be a $\delta$-separated $(\delta, s, C_P)$-set of points in $B(0, 1)\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and $\Pi$ be a $\delta$-separated $(\delta, t, C_\Pi)$-set of hyperplanes intersecting $B(0, 1)$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Define \[I_{C\delta}(P,…

We consider the problem of mirror invisibility for plane sets. Given a circle and a finite number of unit vectors (defining the directions of invisibility) such that the angles between them are commensurable with $\pi$, for any $\varepsilon…

We establish Euclidean-type lower bounds for the codimension-1 Hausdorff measure of sets that separate points in doubling and linearly locally contractible metric manifolds. This gives a quantitative topological isoperimetric inequality in…

We derive upper bounds on the difference between the orthogonal projections of a smooth function $u$ onto two finite element spaces that are nearby, in the sense that the support of every shape function belonging to one but not both of the…

The present paper aims to solve some problems proposed by Lassak about the reduced spherical polygons. The main result is to show that the regular spherical n-gon has the minimal perimeter among all reduced spherical polygons of fixed…
