We prove polarity duality for covering problems in Hilbert geometry. Let $G$ and $K$ be convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^d$ where $G \subset \operatorname{int}(K)$ and $\operatorname{int}(G)$ contains the origin. Let $N^H_K(G,\alpha)$ and…
We develop a connection between mixture and envelope representations of objective functions that arise frequently in statistics. We refer to this connection using the term "hierarchical duality." Our results suggest an interesting and…
Marginal polytopes are important geometric objects that arise in statistics as the polytopes underlying hierarchical log-linear models. These polytopes can be used to answer geometric questions about these models, such as determining the…
In optimization the duality gap between the primal and the dual problems is a measure of the suboptimality of any primal-dual point. In classical mechanics the equations of motion of a system can be derived from the Hamiltonian function,…
Let $P\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ $(n\geq 3)$ be a convex polytope containing the origin in its interior. Let $\mbox{vol}_{n-2} \big( \mbox{relbd} ( P\cap\lbrace t\xi + \xi^\perp \rbrace ) \big)$ denote the $(n-2)$-dimensional volume of the…
We discuss how the dual standard model and the dualised standard model are complementary theories. That is, how their implications have no overlap, whilst together they explain most features of the standard model. To illustrate how these…
We introduce and study a notion of duality for two classes of optimization problems commonly occurring in probability theory. That is, on an abstract measurable space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F})$, we consider pairs $(E,\mathcal{G})$ where $E$ is…
In general, universal (co)measuring (co)monoids and universal (co)acting bi/Hopf monoids, which prove to be a useful tool in the classification of quantum symmetries, do not always exist. In order to ensure their existence, the support of a…
While intersections of convex sets are convex, their unions have rather complicated behavior. Some natural contexts where they appear include duality arguments involving boundaries of convex sets and valuations, which have an Euler…
The purpose of this manuscript is to derive two distinct integral representations of the generalized polylogarithm using two different techniques. The first approach involves the Dirichlet series and its Laplace representation, which leads…
A geometric interpretation of the duality between two real forms of the complex trigonometric Ruijsenaars-Schneider system is presented. The phase spaces of the systems in duality are viewed as two different models of the same reduced phase…
Given a polytope $\mathcal{P}$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and a subset $U$ of its vertices, is there a triangulation of $\mathcal{P}$ using $d$-simplices that all contain $U$? We answer this question by proving an equivalent and easy-to-check…
Typical dualities in arbitrary dimensions are understood through a Hilbert-space extension method. By these results, we rigorously dualize the quantum ingappabilities to discrete height model in one dimension which is inaccessible by…
A celebrated theorem of Balas gives a linear mixed-integer formulation for the union of two nonempty polytopes whose relaxation gives the convex hull of this union. The number of inequalities in Balas formulation is linear in the number of…
Generalized polyhedral convex optimization problems in locally convex Hausdorff topological vector spaces are studied systematically in this paper. We establish solution existence theorems, necessary and sufficient optimality conditions,…
In the paper we treat Gale diagrams in a combinatorial way. The interpretation allows to describe simplicial complexes which are Alexander dual to boundaries of simplicial polytopes and, more generally, to nerve-complexes of general…
Given two subsets of R^d, when does there exist a projective transformation that maps them to two sets with a common centroid? When is this transformation unique modulo affine transformations? We study these questions for 0- and…
We introduce a theory of volume polynomials and corresponding duality algebras of multi-fans. Any complete simplicial multi-fan $\Delta$ determines a volume polynomial $V_\Delta$ whose values are the volumes of multi-polytopes based on…
The notion of Fourier transform is among the more important tools in analysis, which has been generalized in abstract harmonic analysis to the level of abelian locally compact groups. The aim of this paper is to further generalize the…
We suggest a method of computing volume for a simple polytope $P$ in three-dimensional hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^3$. This method combines the combinatorial reduction of $P$ as a trivalent graph $\Gamma$ (the $1$-skeleton of $P$) by…
