This work is motivated by problems on simultaneous Diophantine approximation on manifolds, namely, establishing Khintchine and Jarnik type theorems for submanifolds of R^n. These problems have attracted a lot of interest since Kleinbock and…

In this paper we provide a method of finding possible numbers of shortest paths between two points in a space of compact sets in Euclidean space with Hausdorff distance. We also prove that there cannot be some of the numbers of shortest…

This paper introduces a natural definition for the volume of the unit ball in $n$-dimensional normed spaces $\mathbb{R}^n$. This definition preserves the Euclidean relation $P(B)/V(B)=n$ between the perimiter and the volume of the unit ball…

We study extremal properties of spherical random polytopes, the convex hull of random points chosen from the unit Euclidean sphere in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The extremal properties of interest are the expected values of the maximum and minimum…

The minimum $k$-enclosing ball problem seeks the ball with smallest radius that contains at least~$k$ of~$m$ given points in a general $n$-dimensional Euclidean space. This problem is NP-hard. We present a branch-and-bound algorithm on the…

For natural numbers $n$ and $l > d \geq 2$, let $ES_d(l,n)$ be the minimum $N$ such that any set of at least $N$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ contains either $l$ points contained in a common $(d-1)$-dimensional hyperplane or $n$ points in…

A special case of a combinatorial theorem of De Bruijn and Erdos asserts that every noncollinear set of n points in the plane determines at least n distinct lines. Chen and Chvatal suggested a possible generalization of this assertion in…

A simple $n$-gon is a polygon with $n$ edges with each vertex belonging to exactly two edges and every other point belonging to at most one edge. Brass asked the following question: For $n \geq 5$ odd, what is the maximum perimeter of a…

We introduce a partial order on the set of all normal polytopes in R^d. This poset NPol(d) is a natural discrete counterpart of the continuum of convex compact sets in R^d, ordered by inclusion, and exhibits a remarkably rich combinatorial…

In this article, we establish an analogue of the dimension growth conjecture, which is regarding the density of rational points on projective varieties, for compact submanifolds of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with non-vanishing curvature. We also…

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…

We show that in any $d$-dimensional real normed space, unit balls can be packed with density at least \[\frac{(1-o(1))d\log d}{2^{d+1}},\] improving a result of Schmidt from 1958 by a logarithmic factor and generalizing the recent result of…

In this paper the problem of maximizing the distance to a given fixed point over an intersection of balls is considered. It is known that this problem is NP complete in the general case, since any subset sum problem can be solved upon…

The problem of finding the largest number of points in the unit cross-polytope such that the $l_{1}$-distance between any two distinct points is at least $2r$ is investigated for $r\in\left(1-\frac{1}{n},1\right]$ in dimensions $\geq2$ and…

The proof of the theorem, which states that the Euclidean metric on the set of random points in an $n$-dimensional Euclidean space with the distribution of a special class, converges in probability in the limit $n\rightarrow\infty$ to the…

This article sketches the proofs of two theorems about sphere packings in Euclidean 3-space. The first is K. Bezdek's strong dodecahedral conjecture: the surface area of every bounded Voronoi cell in a packing of balls of radius 1 is at…

We prove a version of the well-known Denjoy-Ahlfors theorem about the number of asymptotic values of an entire function for properly immersed minimal surfaces of arbitrary codimension in R^N. The finiteness of the number of ends is proved…

We give a short and simple proof of a recent result of Dobbins that any point in an $nd$-polytope is the barycenter of $n$ points in the $d$-skeleton. This new proof builds on the constraint method that we recently introduced to prove…

Kupavskii, Volostnov, and Yarovikov have recently shown that any set of $n$ points in general position in the plane has at least as many (partial) triangulations as the convex $n$-gon. We generalize this in two directions: we show that…

For any odd prime $p$ and any integer $N\ge 0$, let $\mathcal{V}(p,N)$ be the set of vertices of the cyclotomic box $\mathscr{B} = \mathscr{B}(p,N)$ of edge size $2N$ and centered at the origin $O$ of the ring of integers…
