An equidistant polytope is a special equidistant set in the space $\mathbb{R}^n$ all of whose boundary points have equal distances from two finite systems of points. Since one of the finite systems of the given points is required to be in…

We prove an estimate for arbitrary measure of sections of convex bodies. The proof is based on a stability result for intersection bodies.

We prove a version of the Bernstein-Walsh theorem on uniform polynomial approximation of holomorphic functions on compact sets in several complex variables. Here we consider subclasses of the full polynomial space associated to a convex…

We solve the problem of best approximation by partial isometries of given rank to an arbitrary rectangular matrix, when the distance is measured in any unitarily invariant norm. In the case where the norm is strictly convex, we parametrize…

In this short note, we show that the inradius of a convex body is comparable to its volume divided by its surface area. We also give a simple formula, in terms of its volume and inradius, that is comparable to the volume of its intersection…

Polynomial spaces associated to a convex body $C$ in $({\bf R}^+)^d$ have been the object of recent studies. In this work, we consider polynomial spaces associated to non-convex $C$. We develop some basic pluripotential theory including…

We consider polynomial approximations of z-bar to better understand the torsional rigidity of polygons. Our main focus is on low degree approximations and associated extremal problems that are analogous to Polya's conjecture for torsional…

We investigate the asymptotic properties of random polytopes arising as convex hulls of $n$ independent random points sampled from a family of block-beta distributions. Notably, this family includes the uniform distribution on a product of…

We study the rational approximation properties of special manifolds defined by a set of polynomials with rational coefficients. Mostly we will assume the case of all polynomials to depend on only one variable. In this case the manifold can…

Some properties of generalized convexity for sets and for functions are identified in case of the reliability polynomials of two dual minimal networks. A method of approximating the reliability polynomials of two dual minimal network is…

We overview results on the topic of Poisson approximation that are missed in existing surveys. The topic of Poisson approximation to the distribution of a sum of integer-valued random variables is presented as well. We do not restrict…

For a $d$-dimensional random vector $X$, let $p_{n, X}(\theta)$ be the probability that the convex hull of $n$ independent copies of $X$ contains a given point $\theta$. We provide several sharp inequalities regarding $p_{n, X}(\theta)$ and…

Sampling from high dimensional distributions and volume approximation of convex bodies are fundamental operations that appear in optimization, finance, engineering, artificial intelligence and machine learning. In this paper we present…

The X-ray numbers of some classes of convex bodies are investigated. In particular, we give a proof of the X-ray Conjecture as well as of the Illumination Conjecture for almost smooth convex bodies of any dimension and for convex bodies of…

We prove a pointwise version of the multi-dimensional central limit theorem for convex bodies. Namely, let X be an isotropic random vector in R^n with a log-concave density. For a typical subspace E in R^n of dimension n^c, consider the…

In this article we pose the problem of existence and uniqueness of convex body for which the projection curvature radius function coincides with given function. We find a necessary and sufficient condition that ensures a positive answer to…

We study the expected value of support functions of random polytopes in a certain direction, where the random polytope is given by independent random vectors uniformly distributed in an isotropic convex body. All results are obtained by an…

We introduce a new class of (not necessarily convex) bodies and show, among other things, that these bodies provide yet another link between convex geometric analysis and information theory. Namely, they give geometric interpretations of…

We construct a convergent family of outer approximations for the problem of optimizing polynomial functions over convex bodies subject to polynomial constraints. This is achieved by generalizing the polarization hierarchy, which has…

Denote by ${\mathcal K}^d$ the family of convex bodies in $E^d$ and by $w(C)$ the minimal width of $C \in {\mathcal K}^d$. We ask for the greatest number $\Lambda_n ({\mathcal K}^d)$ such that every $C \in {\mathcal K}^d$ contains a…
