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}…

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 deepen the study of Dirichlet eigenvalues in bounded domains where a thin tube is attached to the boundary. As its section shrinks to a point, the problem is spectrally stable and we quantitatively investigate the rate of convergence of…
