In this work we study subdivisions of $k$-rotationally symmetric planar convex bodies that minimize the maximum relative diameter functional. For some particular subdivisions called $k$-partitions, consisting of $k$ curves meeting in an…

In this paper we study the bisections of a centrally symmetric planar convex body which minimize the maximum relative diameter functional. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for being a minimizing bisection, as well as analyzing…

In this work we study the maximum relative diameter functional $d_M$ in the class of multi-rotationally symmetric planar convex bodies. A given set $C$ of this class is $k$-rotationally symmetric for $k\in\{k_1,\ldots,k_n\}\subset\nn$, and…

Quantitative estimates related to the classical Borsuk problem of splitting set in Euclidean space into subsets of smaller diameter are considered. For a given $k$ there is a minimal diameter of subsets at which there exists a covering with…

A planar point set is in convex position precisely when it has a convex polygonization, that is, a polygonization with maximum interior angle measure at most \pi. We can thus talk about the convexity of a set of points in terms of the…

We prove a long standing conjecture concerning the fencing problem in the plane: among planar convex sets of given area, prove that the disc, and only the disc maximizes the length of the shortest area-bisecting curve. Although it may look…

A common representation of a three dimensional object in computer applications, such as graphics and design, is in the form of a triangular mesh. In many instances, individual or groups of triangles in such representation need to satisfy…

For a convex body $C$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and a division of $C$ into convex subsets $C_1,\ldots,C_n$, we can consider $max\{F(C_1),\ldots, F(C_n)\}$ (respectively, $min\{F(C_1),\ldots, F(C_n)\}$), where $F$ represents one of these classical…

An approach is developed to find approximate solutions to the restricted circular three body problem. The solution is useful in approximately describing the position vectors of three spherically symmetric masses, one of which has a much…

In this paper we are interested in "optimal" universal geometric inequalities involving the area, diameter and inradius of convex bodies. The term "optimal" is to be understood in the following sense: we tackle the issue of…

We look for minimizers of the buckling load problem with perimeter constraint in any dimension. In dimension 2, we show that the minimizing plates are convex; in higher dimension, by passing through a weaker formulation of the problem, we…

We consider the smallest-area universal covering of planar objects of perimeter 2 (or equivalently closed curves of length 2) allowing translation and discrete rotations. In particular, we show that the solution is an equilateral triangle…

We study the problem of finding a triangulation T of a planar point set S such as to minimize the expected distance between two points x and y chosen uniformly at random from S. By distance we mean the length of the shortest path between x…

We study the problem of computing the minimum area triangle that circumscribes a given $n$-sided convex polygon touching edge-to-edge. In other words, we compute the minimum area triangle that is the intersection of 3 half-planes out of $n$…

A triangulation of a planar point set S is a maximal plane straight-line graph with vertex set S. In the minimum-weight triangulation (MWT) problem, we are looking for a triangulation of a given point set that minimizes the sum of the edge…

We are interested in the optimization of convex domains under a PDE constraint. Due to the difficulties of approximating convex domains in $\mathbb{R}^3$, the restriction to rotationally symmetric domains is used to reduce shape…

We consider Newton's problem of minimal resistance, in particular we address the problem arising in the limit if the height goes to infinity. We establish existence of solutions and lack radial symmetry of solutions. Moreover, we show that…

Many years ago John Tyrell a lecturer at King's college London challenged his Ph.D. students with the following puzzle: show that there is a unique triangle of minimal perimeter with exactly one vertex to lie on one of three given lines,…

Let $H_n$ be the minimal number of smaller homothetic copies of an $n$-dimensional convex body required to cover the whole body. Equivalently, $H_n$ can be defined via illumination of the boundary of a convex body by external light sources.…

The elliptic restricted three body problem has been well studied. However, the previous formulations of the problem have used a rotating coordinate system to keep the positions of the primary and secondary on the x-axis. This requires the…
