Let K be a closed convex set in the plane containing no nonzero point of the integral lattice. We show that if the area A(K) of K is equally distributed amongst the four principal quadrants of the plane, then A(K) < 4.

AbstractLet BY denote the unit ball of a normed linear space Y. A symmetric, bounded, closed, convex set A in a finite dimensional normed linear space X is called a sufficient enlargement for X if, for an arbitrary isometric embedding of X into a Banach space Y, there exists a linear projection P: Y → X such that P(BY ) ⊂ A. Each finite dimensional normed space has a minimal-volume sufficient enlargement that is a parallelepiped; some spaces have “exotic” minimal-volume sufficient enlargements. The main result of the paper is a characterization of spaces having “exotic” minimal-volume sufficient enlargements in terms of Auerbach bases.

First we consider an elementary though delicate question about the trajectory in ℝn of a particle in a conservative field of force whose dynamics are governed by the equationHere the potential function V is supposed to have Lipschitz continuous first derivative at every point of ℝn. This is a natural assumption which ensures that the initial-value problem is well-posed. We suppose also that there is a closed convex set C with non-empty interior C° such that V ≥ 0 in C and V = 0 on the boundary ∂C of C. It is noteworthy that we make no assumptions about the degeneracy (or otherwise) of V on ∂C (i.e. whether ∇V = 0 on ∂C, or not); thus ∂C is a Lipschitz boundary because of its convexity but not necessarily any smoother in general. We remark also that there are no convexity assumptions about V and nothing is known about the behaviour of V outside C.

This paper concerns with the study of two pursuit differential game problems of many pursuers and many evaders on a nonempty closed convex subset of R^n. Throughout the period of the games, players must stay within the given closed convex set. Players’ laws of motion are defined by certain first order differential equations. Control functions of the pursuers and evaders are subject to geometric constraints. Pursuit is said to be completed if the geometric position of each of the evader coincides with that of a pursuer. We proved two theorems each of which is solution to a problem. Sufficient conditions for the completion of pursuit are provided in each of the theorems. Moreover, we constructed strategies of the pursuers that ensure completion of pursuit.

Let R be an open Riemann surface. ƒ belongs to H1(R) if ƒ is holomorphic on R and if the subharmonic function |ƒ| has a harmonie majorant on R. Let p be in R and define ||ƒ|| to be the value at p of the least harmonic majorant of |ƒ|. ||ƒ|| is a norm on the linear space H1(R), and with this norm H1(R) is a Banach space (7). The unit ball of H1(R) is the closed convex set of all ƒ in H1(R) with ||ƒ|| ⩽ 1. Problem: What are the extreme points of the unit ball of H1(R)? de Leeuw and Rudin have given a complete solution to this problem where R is the open unit disk (1).

We study a financial market with incompleteness arising from two sources: stochastic volatility and portfolio constraints. The latter are given in terms of bounds imposed on the borrowing and short-selling of a ‘hedger’ in this market, and can be described by a closed convex set K. We find explicit characterizations of the minimal price needed to super-replicate European-type contingent claims in this framework. The results depend on whether the volatility is bounded away from zero and/or infinity, and also, on if we have linear dynamics for the stock price process, and whether volatility process depends on the stock price. We use a previously known representation of the minimal price as a supremum of the prices in the corresponding shadow markets, and we derive a PDE characterization of that representation.
