Given a diffeomorphism of the plane, which has a periodic orbit, we show how Nielsen fixed point theory can be used to establish the existence of a fixed point which is linked with this periodic orbit.

Let $E_1,E_2\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be two homothetic solid ellipsoids, $n\geq 3$, with center at the origin $O$ of a system coordinates of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and $E_1\subset E_2$. Then there exists a $O$-symmetric ellipsoid $E_3$ such that…

Weintroduce a new class of mappings called cyclic p-$\phi$-contraction mappings and investigate the existence and uniqueness of fixed point for such mappings defined on metric spaces, uniformly convex Banach spaces, or reflex ive Banach…

Fixed points for uniformly local asymptotic nonexpansive maps are discussed in this article. An approximate fixed point sequence for such a map over a uniformly convex Banach space is derived. At the end, we study the unique fixed point for…

We study the evolution of homogeneous and isotropic, flat cosmological models within the general scalar-tensor theory of gravity with arbitrary coupling function and potential. After introducing the limit of general relativity we describe…

We describe a new way to construct finite geometric objects. For every k we obtain a symmetric configuration E(k-1) with k points on a line. In particular, we have a constructive existence proof for such configurations. The method is very…

We combine Homotopy Type Theory with axiomatic cohesion, expressing the latter internally with a version of "adjoint logic" in which the discretization and codiscretization modalities are characterized using a judgmental formalism of "crisp…

The ellipsoid fitting conjecture of Saunderson, Chandrasekaran, Parrilo and Willsky considers the maximum number $n$ random Gaussian points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, such that with high probability, there exists an origin-symmetric ellipsoid…

Let $\mathbf{p}$ be a configuration of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for some $n$ and some $d \ge 2$. Each pair of points defines an edge, which has a Euclidean length in the configuration. A path is an ordered sequence of the points, and a…

A well-known conjecture states that the Whitney numbers of the second kind of a geometric lattice (simple matroid) are logarithmically concave. We show this conjecture to be equivalent to proving an upper bound on the number of new copoints…

We prove a unified and general criterion for the uniqueness of critical points of a functional in the presence of constraints such as positivity, boundedness, or fixed mass. Our method relies on convexity properties along suitable paths and…

We give a soft geometric proof of the classical result due to Conn stating that a Poisson structure is linearizable around a singular point (zero) at which the isotropy Lie algebra is compact and semisimple.

Using previous results about shadow systems and Steiner symmetrization, we prove that the local maximizers of the volume product of convex bodies are actually the global maximizers, that is: ellipsoids.

We present a novel method for deciding whether a given n-dimensional ellipsoid contains another one (possibly with a different center). This method consists in constructing a particular concave function and deciding whether it has any value…

Our goal is to identify the type and number of static equilibrium points of solids arising from fine, equidistant $n$-discretrizations of smooth, convex surfaces. We assume uniform gravity and a frictionless, horizontal, planar support. We…

The Negative Pedal Curve (NPC) of the Ellipse with respect to a boundary point M is a 3-cusp closed-curve which is the affine image of the Steiner Deltoid. Over all M the family has invariant area and displays an array of interesting…

An equidistant polytope is a special equidistant set in the space $\mathbb{R}^n$ all of whose boundary points have equal distances from two finite systems of points. Since one of the finite systems of the given points is required to be in…

We prove that if a convex set in Cn contains two inscribed complex ellipsoid of maximal volume then one is a translate of the other. On the other hand, the circumscribed complex elipsoid of minimal volume is unique. As application we prove…

Let $D$ be a bounded domain in a complex Banach space. According to the Earle-Hamilton fixed point theorem, if a holomorphic mapping $F : D \mapsto D$ maps $D$ strictly into itself, then it has a unique fixed point and its iterates converge…

We present new constructions of complex and p-adic Darmon points on elliptic curves over base fields of arbitrary signature. We conjecture that these points are global and present numerical evidence to support our conjecture.
