In this paper, we establish a generalised Blaschke-Santal\`o inequality for convex bodies in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$. This inequality gives an upper bound estimate for the product of dual quermassintegrals of convex body and its polar set. Our…

The hyperbolic space $ \H^d$ can be defined as a pseudo-sphere in the $(d+1)$ Minkowski space-time. In this paper, a Fuchsian group $\Gamma$ is a group of linear isometries of the Minkowski space such that $\H^d/\Gamma$ is a compact…

We study two notions. One is that of spindle convexity. A set of circumradius not greater than one is spindle convex if, for any pair of its points, it contains every short circular arc of radius at least one, connecting them. The other…

In [14], B-convexity was defined as an appropriate Painlev\'e-Kuratowski limit of linear convexities. More recently, an alternative algebraic formulation over the entire Euclidean vector space was proposed in [9] and [10]. The issue with…

L-convex sets are one of the most fundamental concepts in discrete convex analysis. Furthermore, the Minkowski sum of two L-convex sets, called L2-convex sets, is an intriguing object that is closely related to polymatroid intersection.…

There are two well known tasks, related to Newton polyhedra: to study invariants of singularities in terms of their Newton polyhedra, and to describe Newton polyhedra of resultants and discriminants. We introduce so called resultantal…

Over the past twenty years, lecture hall partitions have emerged as fundamental combinatorial structures, leading to new generalizations and interpretations of classical theorems and new results. In recent years, geometric approaches to…

This paper details an algorithm for unfolding a class of convex polyhedra, where each polyhedron in the class consists of a convex cap over a rectangular base, with several restrictions: the cap's faces are quadrilaterals, with vertices…

While there is extensive literature on approximation of convex bodies by inscribed or circumscribed polytopes, much less is known in the case of generally positioned polytopes. Here we give upper and lower bounds for approximation of convex…

The purpose of this paper is to study the reflections of a convex body. In particular, we are interested in orthogonal reflections of its sections that can be extended to reflections of the whole body. For this reason, we need to study the…
