P\'al's classical isominwidth inequality states that the regular triangle has minimal area among plane convex bodies of minimal width $w$. A similar result is the Blaschke--Lebesgue inequality that states that Reuleaux triangles minimize…

P\'al's isominwidth theorem states that for a fixed minimal width, the regular triangle has minimal area. A spherical version of this theorem was proven by Bezdek and Blekherman, if the minimal width is at most $\tfrac \pi 2$. If the width…

We solve several new sharp inequalities relating three quantities amongst the area, perimeter, inradius, circumradius, diameter, and minimal width of planar convex bodies. As a consequence, we narrow the missing gaps in each of the missing…

Henrot and Lucardesi, in Commun. Contemp. Math. (2024), conjectured that among planar convex sets with prescribed minimal width, the equilateral triangle uniquely maximizes the Cheeger constant. In this short note, we confirm this…

We prove a discrete analogue to a classical isoperimetric theorem of Weil for surfaces with non-positive curvature. It is shown that hexagons in the triangular lattice have maximal volume among all sets of a given boundary in any…

We show that the number of partial triangulations of a set of $n$ points on the plane is at least the $(n-2)$-nd Catalan number. This is tight for convex $n$-gons. We also describe all the equality cases.

The Small Ball Inequality is a conjectural lower bound on sums the L-infinity norm of sums of Haar functions supported on dyadic rectangles of a fixed volume in the unit cube. The conjecture is fundamental to questions in discrepancy…

For a bounded metric space $ X $ one can consider the quantity $ \delta(X) := \text{inf\rule[-0.5ex]{0em}{1ex}}_{\,p\in X}\; \text{sup}_{q \in X} \; d(p,q) $. This purely metric invariant is known from approximation theory as the relative…

An opaque set (or a barrier) for $U \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ is a set $B$ of finite-length curves such that any line intersecting $U$ also intersects $B$. In this paper, we consider the lower bound for the shortest barrier when $U$ is the…

Lower bounds estimates are proved for the first eigenvalue for the Dirichlet Laplacian on arbitrary triangles using various symmetrization techniques. These results can viewed as a generalization of P\'olya's isoperimetric bounds. It is…

We show optimal triangulations for piecewise linear (PWL) approximations of indefinite quadratic functions over the plane. Optimal triangulations have minimum triangle density while allowing a PWL approximation that fulfills a prescribed…

The Blaschke-Lebesgue Theorem states that among all planar convex domains of given constant width B the Reuleaux triangle has minimal area. It is the purpose of the present note to give a direct proof of this theorem by analyzing the…

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,…

The polygon $P$ is small if its diameter equals one. When $n=2^s$, it is still an open problem to find the maximum perimeter or the maximum width of a small $n$-gon. Motivated by Bingane's series of works, we improve the lower bounds for…

We prove the Blaschke-Santal\'o inequality restricted to $n$-gons: the extremal polygons are the affine regular $n$-gons. If either the John or the L\"owner ellipse of a planar $o$-symmetric convex body $K$ is the unit circle about $o$,…

Gradients of the perimeter and area of a polygon have straightforward geometric interpretations. The use of optimality conditions for constrained problems and basic ideas in triangle geometry show that polygons with prescribed area…

The $p$-widths are a nonlinear analogue of the spectrum of the Laplacian. We prove that each $p$-width of a polygon in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is achieved by a union of billiard trajectories. We also compute the $p$-widths of the equilateral…

The first main result presented in the paper shows that the perimeters of inner parallel sets of planar shapes having a given constant width are minimal for the Reuleaux triangles. This implies that the areas of inner parallel sets and,…

We study side-lengths of triangles in path metric spaces. We prove that unless such a space X is bounded, or quasi-isometric to line or half-line, every triple of real numbers satisfying the strict triangle inequalities, is realized by the…

Let $K$ be a convex pentagon in the plane and let $K_1$ be the pentagon bounded by the diagonals of $K$. It has been conjectured that the maximum of the ratio between the areas of $K_1$ and $K$ is reached when $K$ is an affine regular…
