We study the level sets of the distance function from a boundary point of a convex set in Euclidean space. We provide a lower bound for the range of connectivity of the level sets, in terms of the critical points of the distance function in…
An equidistant set in the Euclidean space consists of points having equal distances to both members of a given pair of sets, called focal sets. Since there is no effective formula to compute the distance of a point and a set, it is hard to…
The present work considers the properties of generally convex sets in the $n$-dimensional real Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n>1$, known as weakly $m$-convex, $m=1,2,\ldots,n-1$. An open set of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is called weakly $m$-convex…
If the complement of a closed convex set in a closed convex cone is bounded, then this complement minus the apex of the cone is called a coconvex set. Coconvex sets appear in singularity theory (they are closely related to Newton diagrams)…
The aim of this paper is state of conditions that ensure the convexity of a Chebyshev sets in Hilbert spaces .
A subset of a convex body $B$ containing the origin in a Euclidean space is {\it parkable in $B$} if it can be translated inside $B$ in such a manner that the translate the origin. We provide characterizations of ellipsoids and of centrally…
Let C be convex, compact, with nonempty interior and h be Legendre with domain C, continuous on C. We prove that h is Bregman if and only if it is strictly convex on C and C is a polytope. This provides insights on sequential convergence of…
We study open point sets in Euclidean spaces $\mathbb{R}^d$ without a pair of points an integral distance apart. By a result of Furstenberg, Katznelson, and Weiss such sets must be of Lebesgue upper density zero. We are interested in how…
In a countably normed space which is a linear space equipped with a countable number of pair-wise compatible norms, we prove the existence of a common nearest point (in all norms) from a point outside a nonempty subset if this subset is…
We study how small is the set of critical values of the distance function from a compact (resp. closed) set in the plane or in a connected complete two-dimensional Riemannian manifold. We show that for a compact set, the set of critical…
We study shortest paths and their distances on a subset of a Euclidean space, and their approximation by their equivalents in a neighborhood graph defined on a sample from that subset. In particular, we recover and extend the results of…
We introduce an abstract algorithm that aims to find the Bregman projection onto a closed convex set. As an application, the asymptotic behaviour of an iterative method for finding a fixed point of a quasi Bregman nonexpansive mapping with…
A well-known object in classical Euclidean geometry is the circumcenter of a triangle, i.e., the point that is equidistant from all vertices. The purpose of this paper is to provide a systematic study of the circumcenter of sets containing…
We solve Chui's conjecture on the simplest fractions (i.e., sums of Cauchy kernels with unit coefficients) in weighted (Hilbert) Bergman spaces. Namely, for a wide class of weights, we prove that for every $N$, the simplest fractions with…
The notion of the angle between two subspaces has a long history, dating back to Friedrichs's work in 1937 and Dixmier's work on the minimal angle in 1949. In 2006, Deutsch and Hundal studied extensions to convex sets in order to analyze…
We prove that in the Hilbert space every uniformly convex set with modulus of convexity of the second order at zero is an intersection of closed balls of fixed radius. We also obtain an estimate of this radius.
This paper makes a deep study of regular two-distance sets. A set of unit vectors $X$ in Euclidean space $\RR^n$ is said to be regular two-distance set if the inner product of any pair of its vectors is either $\alpha$ or $\beta$, and the…
The Bregman divergence (Bregman distance, Bregman measure of distance) is a certain useful substitute for a distance, obtained from a well-chosen function (the "Bregman function"). Bregman functions and divergences have been extensively…
Eggleston (1957) proved that in the Euclidean plane the best approximating convex $n$-gon to a convex disc $K$ is always inscribed in $K$ if we measure the distance by perimeter deviation. We prove that the analogue of Eggleston's statement…
A contractive condition is addressed for extended 2-cyclic self-mappings on the union of a finite number of subsets of a metric space which are allowed to have a finite number of successive images in the same subsets of its domain. It is…
