We provide a sharp lower bound for the perimeter of the inner parallel sets of a convex body $\Omega$. The bound depends only on the perimeter and inradius $r$ of the original body and states that \[|\partial\Omega_t| \geq…

We prove that, for any $B \subset \mathbb R$, the Cartesian product set $B \times B$ determines $\Omega(|B|^{2+c})$ distinct angles.

We derive a spectral representation for the oblate spheroidal wave operator which is holomorphic in the aspherical parameter $\Omega$ in a neighborhood of the real line. For real $\Omega$, estimates are derived for all eigenvalue gaps…

We obtain sequences of inclusion sets for the spectrum, essential spectrum, and pseudospectrum of banded, in general non-normal, matrices of finite or infinite size. Each inclusion set is the union of the pseudospectra of certain…

We consider a normal operator $T$ on a Hilbert space $H$. Under various assumptions on the spectrum of $T$, we give bounds for the spectrum of $T+A$ where $A$ is $T$-bounded with relative bound less than 1 but we do not assume that $A$ is…

A finite set of real numbers is called convex if the differences between consecutive elements form a strictly increasing sequence. We show that, for any pair of convex sets $A, B\subset\mathbb R$, each of size $n^{1/2}$, the convex grid…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded strictly pseudoconvex domain of $\mathbb{C}^n$. We solve degenerate complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations of the form $(\omega + dd^c \varphi)^n = \mu$ in the generalized Cegrell classes $\mathcal{K}(\Omega,\omega,H)$,…

Suppose that c is a linear operator acting on an n-dimensional complex Hilbert Space H, and let tau denote the normalized trace on B(H). Set b_1 = (c+c*)/2 and b_2 = (c-c*)/2i, and write B for the the spectral scale of {b_1, b_2} with…

Results on matrix canonical forms are used to give a complete description of the higher rank numerical range of matrices arising from the study of quantum error correction. It is shown that the set can be obtained as the intersection of…

We study containment regions of the numerical range of the product of operators $A$ and $B$ such that $W(A)$ and $W(B)$ are line segments. It is shown that the containment region is equal to the convex hull of elliptical disks determined by…

The Upper Bound Theorem for convex polytopes implies that the $p$-th Betti number of the \v{C}ech complex of any set of $N$ points in $\mathbb R^d$ and any radius satisfies $\beta_{p} = O(N^{m})$, with $m = \min \{ p+1, \lceil d/2 \rceil…

In this work, we focus on the multiplicity of singular spectrum for operators of the form $A^\omega=A+\sum_{n}\omega_n C_n$ on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, for a self-adjoint operator $A$ and a countable collection $\{C_n\}_{n}$…

Utilizing the linking algebra of a Hilbert $C^*$-module $\big(\mathscr{V}, {\|\!\cdot\!\|}\big)$, we introduce $\Omega(x)$ as a definition of numerical radius for an element $x\in\mathscr{V}$ and then show that $\Omega(\cdot)$ is a norm on…

Strongly convex sets in Hilbert spaces are characterized by local properties. One quantity which is used for this purpose is a generalization of the modulus of convexity \delta_\Omega of a set \Omega. We also show that \lim_{\epsilon \to 0}…

Let $\Omega$ be an open set in Euclidean space $\R^m,\, m=2,3,...$, and let $v_{\Omega}$ denote the torsion function for $\Omega$. It is known that $v_{\Omega}$ is bounded if and only if the bottom of the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian…

For convex optimization problems Bregman divergences appear as regret functions. Such regret functions can be defined on any convex set but if a sufficiency condition is added the regret function must be proportional to information…

We investigate additive properties of sets $A,$ where $A=\{a_1,a_2,\ldots ,a_k\}$ is a monotone increasing set of real numbers, and the differences of consecutive elements are all distinct. It is known that $|A+B|\geq c|A||B|^{1/2}$ for any…

In this article, we address the following question: Is it true that the spatial numerical range (SNR) $V_A(a)$ of an element $a$ in a normed algebra $(A, \|\cdot\|)$ is always convex? If the normed algebra is unital, then it is convex…

The finite spectrum of a first-order sentence is the set of positive integers that are the sizes of its models. The class of finite spectra is known to be the same as the complexity class NE. We consider the spectra obtained by limiting…

Given a total sequence in a Hilbert space, we speak of an upper (resp. lower) semi-frame if only the upper (resp. lower) frame bound is valid. Equivalently, for an upper semi-frame, the frame operator is bounded, but has an unbounded…
