Let $K_0$ be a compact convex subset of the plane $\mathbb R^2$, and assume that $K_1\subseteq \mathbb R^2$ is similar to $K_0$, that is, $K_1$ is the image of $K_0$ with respect to a similarity transformation $\mathbb R^2\to\mathbb R^2$.…

We show that any Carnot group contains a closed nowhere dense set which has measure zero but is not $\sigma$-porous with respect to the Carnot-Carath\'eodory (CC) distance. In the first Heisenberg group we observe that there exist sets…

We study empirical statistical and gap distributions of several important tilings of the plane. In particular, we consider the slope distributions, the angle distributions, pair correlation, squared-distance pair correlation, angle gap…

A curve $\theta$: $I\to E$ in a metric space $E$ equipped with the distance $d$, where $I\subset \R$ is a (possibly unbounded) interval, is called self-contracted, if for any triple of instances of time $\{t_i\}_{i=1}^3\subset I$ with…

We combine functional analytic and geometric viewpoints on approximate Birkhoff and isosceles orthogonality in generalized Minkowski spaces which are finite-dimensional vector spaces equipped with a gauge. This is the first approach to…

The notion of ball convexity, considered in finite dimensional real Banach spaces, is a natural and useful extension of usual convexity; one replaces intersections of half-spaces by suitable intersections of balls. A subset $S$ of a normed…

We discuss the notions of circumradius, inradius, diameter, and minimum width in generalized Minkowski spaces (that is, with respect to gauges), i.e., we measure the "size" of a given convex set in a finite-dimensional real vector space…

In this note, we completely describe the shape of the bisector of two given points in a two-dimensional normed vector space. More precisely, we show that, depending on the position of two given points with respect to the shape of the unit…

In this work we consider an optimal transport problem with coefficients in a normed Abelian group $G$, and extract a purely intrinsic condition on $G$ that guarantees that the optimal transport (or the corresponding minimum filling) is not…

Let $X$ be an $n$-point subset of a Euclidean space and $0 < a < 1$. The classical theorem of Schoenberg implies that the snowflake space $X^a$ can be isometrically embedded into Euclidean space. In the paper we show that points in the…

The paper considers systems of contraction similarities in $\mathbb R^d$ sending a given polyhedron $P$ to polyhedra $P_i\subset P$, whose non-empty intersections are singletons and contain the common vertices of those polyhedra, while the…

In this paper, we characterize a novel separation property for IFS-attractors on complete metric spaces. Such a separation property is weaker than the strong open set condition (SOSC) and becomes necessary to reach the equality between the…

In this paper we consider the following topics related to results of L\'aszl\'o Fejes T\'oth: (1) The Tammes problem and Fejes T\'oth's bound on circle packings; (2) Fejes T\'oth's problem on maximizing the minimum distance between…

We show that convex pentagons that can generate edge-to-edge monohedral tilings of the plane can be classified into exactly eight types. Using these results, it is also proved that no single convex polygon can be an aperiodic prototile…

This is a survey article on the infinitesimal rigidity of frameworks in Euclidean, hyperbolic, and spherical geometry. We discuss the equivalence of the static and kinematic formulations of the infinitesimal rigidity, the projective…

For any $I\subset\mathbb{R}$ finite with $0\in I$, we provide a characterization of those tuples $(\omega_i)_{i\in I}$ of positive numbers which are dual querma\ss integrals of two star bodies. It turns out that this problem is related to…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $f : \partial K \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_+$ a continuous, strictly positive function with $\int\limits_{\partial K} f(x) d \mu_{\partial K}(x) = 1$. We give an upper bound for the approximation…

In this paper we investigate the metric properties of quadrics and cones of the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space. As applications of our formulas we give a more detailed description of the construction of Chasles and the wire model of…

We investigate properties which remain invariant under the action of quasi-M\"obius maps of quasi-metric spaces. A metric space is called doubling with constant D if every ball of finite radius can be covered by at most D balls of half the…

It is unknown if there exists a locally $\alpha$-H\"older homeomorphism $f:\mathbb{R}^3\to \mathbb{H}^1$ for any $\frac{1}{2}< \alpha\le \frac{2}{3}$, although the identity map $\mathbb{R}^3\to \mathbb{H}^1$ is locally…
