We present several results providing lower bounds for the Banach-Mazur distance \[d_{BM}(C(K), C(L))\] between Banach spaces of continuous functions on compact spaces. The main focus is on the case where $C(L)$ represents the classical…
We consider the method of alternating (metric) projections for pairs of linear subspaces of finite dimensional Banach spaces. We investigate the size of the set of points for which this method converges to the metric projection onto the…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of the maximum interpoint distance of random points in a planar bounded set with an unique major axis and a boundary behaving like an ellipse at the endpoints. Our main result covers the case of uniformly…
Let $C$ and $D$ be convex bodies in the Euclidean space $E^d$. We define the centroid Banach-Mazur distance $\delta_{BM}^{\rm cen} (C, D)$ similarly to the classic Banach-Mazur distance $\delta_{BM} (C, D)$, but with the extra requirement…
Various packing problems and simulations of hard and soft interacting particles, such as microscopic models of nematic liquid crystals, reduce to calculations of intersections and pair interactions between ellipsoids. When constrained to a…
We consider two well-known problems: upper bounding the volume of lower dimensional ellipsoids contained in convex bodies given their John ellipsoid, and lower bounding the volume of ellipsoids containing projections of convex bodies given…
We prove that the spaces $\ell_p$, $1<p<\infty, p\ne 2$, and all infinite-dimensional subspaces of their quotient spaces do not admit equivalent almost transitive renormings. This is a step towards the solution of the Banach-Mazur rotation…
The classical Banach--Mazur theorem asserts that every separable Banach space admits an isometric embedding into $C[0,1]$. It is also well known that every separable Banach space embeds isometrically into $\ell^\infty$. We show that such an…
In this note we study the Banach-Mazur distance between the $n$-dimensional cube and the crosspolytope. Previous work shows that the distance has order $\sqrt{n}$, and here we will prove some explicit bounds improving on former results.…
We prove the following variant of the Falconer conjecture in the plane. If the dimension of a compact planar set is greater than one, then the distance set with respect to almost every ellipse has positive Lebesgue measure.
We study spaces with directionally asymptotically controlled ellipsoids approximating the unit ball in finite-dimensions. These ellipsoids are the unique minimum volume ellipsoids, which contain the unit ball of the corresponding…
Using an optimal containment approach, we quantify the asymmetry of convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with respect to reflections across affine subspaces of a given dimension. We prove general inequalities relating these ''Minkowski…
In this paper, a novel technique for tight outer-approximation of the intersection region of a finite number of ellipses in 2-dimensional (2D) space is proposed. First, the vertices of a tight polygon that contains the convex intersection…
The paper gives some results on best proximity and fixed point for a class of generalized hybrid cyclic self-mappings in Banach spaces.
In the 1770s, Euler wrote a series of papers (E563, E691 and E692) about finding the ellipse with minimal area or perimeter in the family of all ellipses passing through a fixed set of points. This is a translation of all three papers from…
Many classical problems in convex geometry can be cast as optimization problems under certain containment conditions. The arguably best-understood example is volume-maximization of convex bodies contained in other convex bodies, where the…
This paper deals with a general form of variational problems in Banach spaces which encompasses variational inequalities as well as minimization problems. We prove a characterization of local error bounds for the distance to the…
We study the dependence of the Banach-Mazur distance between two subspaces of vector-valued continuous functions on the scattered structure of their boundaries. In the spirit of a result of Gordon, we show that the constant $2$ appearing in…
A short proof of the Mazur-Ulam theorem concerning isometries of real normed spaces.
Upper estimates of the diameter and the radius of the family of all planar convex bodies with respect to the Banach-Mazur distance are obtained. Namely, it is shown that the diameter does not exceed $\tfrac{19-\sqrt{73}}4\approx 2.614$,…
