The classical equations of the Newtonian 3-body problem do not only define the familiar 3-dimensional motions. The dimension of the motion may also be 4, and cannot be higher. We prove that in dimension 4, for three arbitrary positive…

Three-dimensional central symmetric bodies different from spheres that can float in all orientations are considered. For relative density rho=1/2 there are solutions, if holes in the body are allowed. For rho different from 1/2 the body is…

We prove that for any norm |*| in the d-dimensional real vector space V and for any odd n>0 there is a non-negative polynomial p(x), x in V of degree 2n such that p^{1/2n}(x) < |x| < c(n,d) p^{1/2n}(x), where c(n,d)={n+d-1 choose n}^{1/2n}.…

It is proved that the projection constants of two- and three-dimensional spaces are bounded by $4/3$ and $(1+\sqrt 5)/2$, respectively. These bounds are attained precisely by the spaces whose unit balls are the regular hexagon and…

This study focuses on defining normal and strictly convex structures within Menger cone PM-space. It also presents a shared fixed point theorem for the existence of two self-mappings constructed on a strictly convex probabilistic cone…

The point sets of all known optimal rectilinear drawings of $K_n$ share an unmistakeable clustering property, the so--called {\em 3--decomposability}. It is widely believed that the underlying point sets of all optimal rectilinear drawings…

It is shown that if $C$ is an $n$-dimensional convex body then there is an affine image $\widetilde C$ of $C$ for which $${|\partial \widetilde C|\over |\widetilde C|^{n-1\over n}}$$ is no larger than the corresponding expression for a…

The main result is a direct proof of the implication $(LVKF_{k,3})\Rightarrow( LT_{3k-1,3})$ below. Consider the following statements: ($LVKF_{1,3}$) From any 11 points in $ \mathbb{R}^{3}$ one can choose 3 pairwise disjoint triples whose…

While faces of a polytope form a well structured lattice, in which faces of each possible dimension are present, this is not true for general compact convex sets. We address the question of what dimensional patterns are possible for the…

We prove that every three-dimensional polyhedron is uniquely determined by its dihedral angles and edge lengths, even if nonconvex or self-intersecting, under two plausible sufficient conditions: (i) the polyhedron has only convex faces and…

This paper studies the strong quasiconvexity of norm and distance functions in finite-dimensional normed spaces. Although the Euclidean norm is known to be strongly quasiconvex on bounded convex sets, a complete characterization of this…

We prove that the set of accumulation points of thresholds in dimension three is equal to the set of thresholds in dimension two, excluding one.

We prove that a region in a two-dimensional affine subspace of a normed space $V$ has the least 2-dimensional Hausdorff measure among all compact surfaces with the same boundary. Furthermore, the 2-dimensional Hausdorff area density admits…

G. Godefroy asked whether, on any Banach space, the set of norm-attaining functionals contains a 2-dimensional linear subspace. We prove that a recent construction due to C.J. Read provides an example of a space which does not have this…

Cianci and Ottina proved that a homotopically trivial non-contractible finite $T_0$-space cannot have fewer than nine points and classified all such spaces with exactly nine points. The present paper completes the classification for spaces…

We prove that under some assumptions on the mean curvature the set of umbilical points of an immersed surface in a $3$-dimensional space form has positive measure. In case of an immersed sphere our result can be seen as a generalization of…

Constructive properties of uniform convexity, strict convexity, near convexity, and metric convexity in real normed linear spaces are considered. Examples show that certain classical theorems, such as the existence of points of osculation,…

The non-existence of non-trivial conformally symmetric manifolds in the three-dimensional Riemannian setting is shown. In Lorentzian signature, a complete local classification is obtained. Furthermore, the isometry classes are examined.

Let $E$ be a $(\mathrm{IV})$-polyhedral Banach space. We show that, for each $\epsilon>0$, $E$ admits an $\epsilon$-equivalent $\mathrm{(V)}$-polyhedral norm such that the corresponding closed unit ball is the closed convex hull of its…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^3$ amid a bounded number of obstacles. When obstacles are axis-parallel boxes, we prove that $P$ admits an $8\sqrt{3}$-spanner with $O(n\log^3 n)$ edges with respect to the geodesic distance.
