In this paper, we give a numerical criterion of Reider-type for the $d$-very ampleness of the adjoint line bundles on quasi-elliptic surfaces, and meanwhile we give a new proof of the vanishing theorem on quasi-elliptic surfaces emailed…

We consider compact connected minimal surfaces, with a pair of boundary curves (not necessarily convex) in distinct planes, that have least-area amongst all orientable surfaces with the same boundary. When the planes containing these two…

We construct a family of K\"ahler-Einstein edge metrics on all Hirzebruch surfaces using the Calabi ansatz and study their angle deformation. This allows us to verify in some special cases a conjecture of Cheltsov-Rubinstein that predicts…

The aim of this note is to complement and extend some recent results on Whitley's indices of thinness and thickness in three main directions. Firstly, we investigate both the indices when forming $\ell_p$-sums of Banach spaces, and obtain…

The aim of this paper is to address an open problem given in [Kirk, W. A., Shahzad, Naseer, Normal structure and orbital fixed point conditions, J. Math. Anal. Appl. {\bf{vol 463(2)}}, (2018) 461--476]. We give a characterization of weak…

Local indices at isolated fixed points of a differentiable compact nonlinear map $T$ on Banach spaces will be discussed. These results are applied to establish the existence of nontrivial solutions. As an example, the existence of…

The article is a survey related to a classical unsolved problem in Banach space theory, appearing in Banach's famous book in 1932, and known as the Mazur rotations problem. Although the problem seems very difficult and rather abstract, its…

We address the problem of the best uniform approximation by linear combinations of a finite system of functions. If the system is Chebyshev and the problem is unconstrained, then the classical Remez algorithm provides a fast and precise…

This paper is a continuation of the work by the same authors on the Cartan group equipped with the sub-Finsler $\ell_\infty$ norm. We start by giving a detailed presentation of the structure of bang-bang extremal trajectories. Then we prove…

We study global solutions to the thin obstacle problem with at most quadratic growth at infinity. We show that every ellipsoid can be realized as the contact set of such a solution. On the other hand, if such a solution has a compact…

We prove that if all intersections of a convex body $B\subset\mathbb R^4$ with 3-dimensional linear subspaces are linearly equivalent then $B$ is a centered ellipsoid. This gives an affirmative answer to the case $n=3$ of the following…

Erd\H{o}s' unit distance problem and Erd\H{o}s' distinct distances problem are among the most classical and well-known open problems in discrete mathematics. They ask for the maximum number of unit distances, or the minimum number of…

We show that there are uncountably many geodesics between any two non-isometric $n$-dimensional normed spaces. We construct two explicit geodesics that can be used to describe all the points of the other geodesics.

The averaged alternating modified reflections (AAMR) method is a projection algorithm for finding the closest point in the intersection of convex sets to any arbitrary point in a Hilbert space. This method can be seen as an adequate…

In this paper we focus on minimal Besicovitch arrangements to highlight some of their properties. An appropriate probability space enables us to find again in an elegant way some straightforward equalities associated with these…

In this paper, using generalized metric projection, we propose a new extragradient method for finding a common element of the solutions set of a generalized equilibrium problem and a variational inequality for an $\alpha$-inverse-strongly…

We show that the fifth and the eighth Busemann-Petty problems have positive solutions for bodies that are sufficiently close to the Euclidean ball in the Banach-Mazur distance.

Given a finite dimensional Banach space X with dimX = n and an Auerbach basis of X, it is proved that: there exists a set D of n + 1 linear combinations (with coordinates 0, -1, +1) of the members of the basis, so that each pair of…

A formula for the irregularity of a cyclic multiple plane associated to a branch curve that has arbitrary singularities and is transverse to the line at infinity is established. The irregularity is expressed as a sum of superabundances of…

The intersection body of a ball is again a ball. So, the unit ball $B_d \subset \R^d$ is a fixed point of the intersection body operator acting on the space of all star-shaped origin symmetric bodies endowed with the Banach-Mazur…
