An infinitely smooth convex body in $\mathbb R^n$ is called polynomially integrable of degree $N$ if its parallel section functions are polynomials of degree $N$. We prove that the only smooth convex bodies with this property in odd…
The two-dimensional surface of a bi-axial ellipsoid is characterized by the lengths of its major and minor axes. Longitude and latitude span an angular coordinate system across. We consider the egg-shaped surface of constant altitude above…
We study dynamics of area-preserving maps in a neighbourhood of an elliptic fixed point. We describe simplified normal forms for a fixed point of co-dimension 3. We also construct normal forms for a generic three-parameter family which…
We classify all the relative positions between an ellipsoid and an elliptic paraboloid when the ellipsoid is small in comparison with the paraboloid ({\it small} meaning that the ellipsoid cannot be tangent to the paraboloid at two points…
Given a convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb R^n$ in L\"owner position we study the problem of constructing a non-negative centered isotropic measure supported in the contact points, whose existence is guaranteed by John's Theorem. The method…
We introduce and study a new type of mappings in metric spaces termed $n$-point Kannan-type mappings. A fixed-point theorem is proved for these mappings. In general case such mappings are discontinuous in the domain but necessarily…
In this paper we study the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of a class of mappings defined on complete, (sequentially compact) cone metric spaces, without continuity conditions and depending on another function.
We consider uniformly strongly elliptic systems of the second order with bounded coefficients. First, sufficient conditions for the invariance of convex bodies obtained for linear systems without zero order term in bounded domains and…
We study a new construction of bodies from a given convex body in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ which are isomorphic to (weighted) floating bodies. We establish several properties of this new construction, including its relation to $p$-affine surface…
Given a centrally symmetric convex body $K \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and a positive number $\lambda$, we consider, among all ellipsoids $E \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of volume $\lambda$, those that best approximate $K$ with respect to the symmetric…
We determine when a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is the closed unit ball of a reasonable crossnorm on $\mathbb{R}^{d_1}\otimes\cdots\otimes\mathbb{R}^{d_l},$ $d=d_1\cdots d_l.$ We call these convex bodies "tensorial bodies". We prove that,…
One of the most important problems in Geometric Tomography is to establish properties of a given convex body if we know some properties over its sections or its projections. There are many interesting and deep results that provide…
We consider sufficient conditions which guarantee that a planar embedding has a unique fixed point. We study sufficient conditions which imply the appearing of a globally attracting fixed point for such an embedding.
We study fixed point sets for holomorphic automorphisms (and endomorphisms) on complex manifolds. The main object of our interest is to determine the number and configuration of fixed points that forces an automorphism (endomorphism) to be…
We introduce a new type of mappings in metric spaces which are three-point analogue of the well-known Kannan type mappings and call them generalized Kannan type mappings. It is shown that in general case such mappings are discontinuous but…
We give new bounds on the Erdos-Szekeres theorems for convex bodies of Bisztriczky and Fejes Toth and of Pach and Toth. We derive them from a combinatorial characterization of convex position of a family of planar convex bodies. This…
The largest discs contained in a regular tetrahedron lie in its faces. The proof is closely related to the theorem of Fritz John characterising ellipsoids of maximal volume contained in convex bodies.
Given a natural number $n\geq3$ and two points $a$ and $b$ in the unit disk $\mathbb D$ in the complex plane, it is known that there exists a unique elliptical disk having $a$ and $b$ as foci that can also be realized as the intersection of…
In this paper we investigate fixed-point numbers and entropies of endomorphisms on abelian varieties. It was shown quite recently that the number of fixed-points of an iterated endomorphism on a simple complex torus is either periodic or…
In this paper we proved the following: \emph{Let $K, L\subset \mathbb R^3$ be two $O$-symmetric convex bodies with $L\subset \emph{int} K$ strictly convex. Suppose that from every $x$ in $\emph{bd} K$ the graze $\Sigma(L,x)$ is a planar…
