In this article we pose the problem of existence and uniqueness of convex body for which the projection curvature radius function coincides with given function. We find a necessary and sufficient condition that ensures a positive answer to…
A centrally symmetric convex body is a convex compact set with non-empty interior that is symmetric about the origin. Of particular interest are those that are both smooth and strictly convex -- known here as regular symmetric bodies --…
Tomography is the area of reconstructing objects from projections. Here we wish to reconstruct a set of cells in a two dimensional grid, given the number of cells in every row and column. The set is required to be an hv-convex polyomino,…
In this note we study the connection between the existence of a projective reconstruction and the existence of a fundamental matrix satisfying the epipolar constraints.
This paper considers a conceptual version of a convex optimization algorithm whic is based on replacing a convex optimization problem with the root-finding problem for the approximate sub-differential mapping which is solved by repeated…
Typically, when we are given the section (or projection) function of a convex body, it means that in each direction we know the size of the central section (or projection) perpendicular to this direction. Suppose now that we can only get…
We study the problem of conformally deforming a metric to a prescribed symmetric function of the eigenvalues of the Ricci tensor. We prove an existence theorem for a wide class of symmetric functions on manifolds with positive Ricci…
The purpose of this paper is to answer the following question: If all hyperplane sections through the origin of a convex body are "equal", is the convex body "equal" to the ball? The meaning of the notion "equal" will change in the course…
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…
High proved the following theorem. If the intersections of any two congruent copies of a plane convex body are centrally symmetric, then this body is a circle. In our paper we extend the theorem of High to the sphere and the hyperbolic…
The Nontrivial Projection Problem asks whether every finite-dimensional normed space of dimension greater than one admits a well-bounded projection of non-trivial rank and corank or, equivalently, whether every centrally symmetric convex…
We present algorithms for reconstructing, up to unavoidable projective automorphisms, surfaces with ordinary singularities in three dimensional space starting from their silhouette, or "apparent contour" - namely the branching locus of a…
This work provides two sufficient conditions in terms of sections or projections for a convex body to be a polytope. These conditions are necessary as well.
In this paper we study the bisections of a centrally symmetric planar convex body which minimize the maximum relative diameter functional. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for being a minimizing bisection, as well as analyzing…
In this paper we find strictly locally convex hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with prescribed curvature and boundary. The main result is that if the given data admits a strictly locally convex radial graph as a subsolution, we can find…
In 1969, Vic Klee asked whether a convex body is uniquely determined (up to translation and reflection in the origin) by its inner section function, the function giving for each direction the maximal area of sections of the body by…
We establish new geometric inequalities comparing the volumes of sections and projections of a convex body, whose barycenter or Santal\'o point is at the origin, with those of its inner and outer regularizations. We also provide functional…
Finding a point in the intersection of a collection of closed convex sets, that is the convex feasibility problem, represents the main modeling strategy for many computational problems. In this paper we analyze new stochastic reformulations…
Reconstructing a complete object from its parts is a fundamental problem in many scientific domains. The purpose of this article is to provide a systematic survey on this topic. The reassembly problem requires understanding the attributes…
Self-concordance is the most important property required for barriers in convex programming. It is intrinsically linked to the affine structure of the underlying space. Here we introduce an alternative notion of self-concordance which is…
