We show that any point in the convex hull of each of (d+1) sets of (d+1) points in general position in \R^d is contained in at least (d+1)^2/2 simplices with one vertex from each set. This improves the known lower bounds for all d >= 4.

In this note we prove two ellipsoid characterization theorems. The first one is that if $K$ is a convex body in a normed space with unit ball $M$, and for any point $p \notin K$ and in any 2-dimensional plane $P$ intersecting $\inter K$ and…

Motivated by long-standing conjectures on the discretization of classical inequalities in the Geometry of Numbers, we investigate a new set of parameters, which we call \emph{packing minima}, associated to a convex body $K$ and a lattice…

We provide a short proof for the Figiel, Lindenstrauss and Milman inequality regarding the number of vertices and faces of certain polytope, with an explicit bound on the universal constant involved. The proof is completely elementary and…

Suppose that a polygon $P$ is given as an array containing the vertices in counterclockwise order. We analyze how many vertices (including the index of each of these vertices) we need to know before we can bound $P$, i.e., report a bounded…

A very simple and short proof of the polynomial matrix spectral factorization theorem (on the unit circle as well as on the real line) is presented, which relies on elementary complex analysis and linear algebra.

Van der Corput's provides the sharp bound vol(C) \le m 2^d on the volume of a d-dimensional origin-symmetric convex body C that has 2m-1 points of the integer lattice in its interior. For m=1, a characterization of the equality case vol(C)=…

We introduce the theory of div point sets, which aims to provide a framework to study the combinatoric nature of any set of points in general position on an Euclidean plane. We then show that proving the unsatisfiability of some first-order…

The manuscript presents a theoretical proof in conglomeration with new definitions on Inaccessibility and Inside for a point S related to a simple or self intersecting polygon P. The proposed analytical solution depicts a novel way of…

The point selection theorem says that the convex hull of any finite point set contains a point that lies in a positive proportion of the simplices determined by that set. This paper proves several new volumetric versions of this theorem…

This note is purely expository. The statement of the Gauss theorem on the constructibility of regular polygons by means of compass and ruler is simple and well-known. However, its proofs given in most textbooks rely upon much unmotivated…

We study fully convex polygons with a given area, and variable perimeter length on square and hexagonal lattices. We attach a weight t^m to a convex polygon of perimeter m and show that the sum of weights of all polygons with a fixed area s…

This paper presents sixteen quantitative versions of the classic Tverberg, Helly, & Caratheodory theorems in combinatorial convexity. Our results include measurable or enumerable information in the hypothesis and the conclusion. Typical…

Steinitz's theorem states that if a point $a \in \mathrm{int\,conv\,} X$ for a set $X \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, then $X$ contains a subset $Y$ of size at most $2d$ such that $a \in \mathrm{int\,conv\,}Y$. The bound $2d$ is best possible here.…

This paper concerns the number of lattice points in the plane which are visible along certain curves to all elements in some set S of lattice points simultaneously. By proposing the concept of level of visibility, we are able to analyze…

We give an algorithmic proof of Pick's theorem which calculates the area of a lattice-polygon in terms of the lattice-points.

We say a lattice point $X=(x_1,\ldots,x_m)$ is visible from the origin, if $\gcd(x_1,...,x_m)=1$. In other word, there are no other lattice point on the line segment from the origin $O$ to $X$. From J.E. Nymann's result, we know that the…

The Erdos-Szekeres theorem states that for any natural k there is a natural number g(k) such that any set of at least g(k) points on a plane in general position contains a set of k points that are the extreme points of a convex polytope. We…

For a d-dimensional convex lattice polytope P, a formula for the boundary volume is derived in terms of the number of boundary lattice points on the first $\floor{d/2}$ dilations of P. As an application we give a necessary and sufficient…

In a convex n-gon, let d[1] > d[2] > ... denote the set of all distances between pairs of vertices, and let m[i] be the number of pairs of vertices at distance d[i] from one another. Erdos, Lovasz, and Vesztergombi conjectured that m[1] +…
