We define a one parameter family of positions of a convex body which interpolates between the John position and the Loewner position: for $r>0$, we say that $K$ is in maximal intersection position of radius $r$ if $\textrm{Vol}_{n}(K\cap…

Both the ellipse and the hyperbola are geometric places that can be defined by establishing a relationship between points $P$ of the plane and two fixed points $A$ and $B$ (which are its foci $F'=A$ and $F=B$). Given two points $A$ and $B$…

The fixed-point theory and its applications to various areas of science are well known. In this paper we present some existence and uniqueness theorems for fixed circles of self-mappings on metric spaces with geometric interpretation. We…

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…

Extending and unifying a number of well-known conjectures and open questions, we conjecture that locally elliptic (that is, every element has a bounded orbit) actions by automorphisms of finitely generated groups on finite dimensional…

In this paper we relate some classical normal forms for complex elliptic curves in terms of 4-point sets in the Riemann sphere. Our main result is an alternative proof that every elliptic curve is isomorphic as a Riemann surface to one in…

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…

In this paper, as a geometric approach to the fixed-point theory, we prove new fixed-figure results using the notion of $k$-ellipse on a metric space. For this purpose, we are inspired by the Caristi type contraction, Kannan type…

Given independent standard Gaussian points $v_1, \ldots, v_n$ in dimension $d$, for what values of $(n, d)$ does there exist with high probability an origin-symmetric ellipsoid that simultaneously passes through all of the points? This…

We introduce a weak asymptotic version of nonlinear contraction, termed \emph{asymptotic pointwise contraction}. For a mapping on a metric space, this notion requires the existence of a sequence of functions that dominate the distances…

A theorem of Meyer and Reisner characterizes ellipsoids by the collinearity of centroids of parallel sections: if $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ is a convex body such that for every $n$-dimensional subspace $M\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ the…

It is proved that every convex body in the plane has a point such that the union of the body and its image under reflection in the point is convex. If the body is not centrally symmetric, then it has, in fact, three affinely independent…
