This chapter returns to the problems which were formulated in Chapter 1, namely the Weinstein conjecture, the nonsqueezing theorem, and symplectic rigidity. These questions are all related to the existence and properties of symplectic capacities. The chapter begins by discussing some of the consequences which follow from the existence of capacities. In particular, it establishes symplectic rigidity and discusses the relation between capacities and the Hofer metric on the group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms. The chapter then introduces the Hofer–Zehnder capacity, and shows that its existence gives rise to a proof of the Weinstein conjecture for hypersurfaces of Euclidean space. The last section contains a proof that the Hofer–Zehnder capacity satisfies the required axioms. This proof translates the Hofer–Zehnder variational argument into the setting of (finite-dimensional) generating functions.

Abstract We give a characterization of all those groups of isometric transformations of a finite-dimensional Euclidean space, for which an analogue of the classical Vitali theorem [Sul problema della misura dei gruppi di punti di una retta, 1905] holds true. This characterization is formulated in purely geometrical terms.

1. A type of problem which frequently occurs in probability theory and statistics can be formulated in the following way. We are given real-valued functions f(x), gi(x) (i = 1, 2, …, k) on a space (typically finite-dimensional Euclidean space). Then the problem is to set bounds for Ef(X), where X is a random variable taking values in , about which all we know is the values of Egi(X). For example, we might wish to set bounds for P(X > a), where X is a real random variable with some of its moments given.

Solvability Set

The problem of getting close of a controlled system with a compact space in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space at a fixed time is studied. A method of constructing a solution to the problem is proposed which is based on the ideology of the maximum shift of the motion of the controlled system by the solvability set of the getting close problem.

Target Set

A control system in finite-dimensional Euclidean space is considered. On a given time interval, we investigate the problem of constructing an integral funnel for which a section corresponding to the last time moment of interval is equal to a target set in a phase space. Since the exact solution of such a funnel is possible only in rare cases, the question of the approximate construction of an integral funnel is being studied.

Sparse Interpolation

We consider the minimum norm interpolation problem in the [Formula: see text] space, aiming at constructing a sparse interpolation solution. The original problem is reformulated in the pre-dual space, thereby inducing a norm in a related finite-dimensional Euclidean space. The dual problem is then transformed into a linear programming problem, which can be solved by existing methods. With that done, the original interpolation problem is reduced by solving an elementary finite-dimensional linear algebra equation. A specific example is presented to illustrate the proposed method, in which a sparse solution in the [Formula: see text] space is compared to the dense solution in the [Formula: see text] space. This example shows that a solution of the minimum norm interpolation problem in the [Formula: see text] space is indeed sparse, while that of the minimum norm interpolation problem in the [Formula: see text] space is not.

Let V be a finite dimensional complex vector space equipped with an inner product. Let G denote the group of all affine automorphisms of V preserving the metric defined by the inner product. Let H be a connected reductive affine algebraic group defined over ℂ. We give an explicit classification of the isomorphism classes of G-equivariant holomorphic hermitian principal H-bundles over V.

1. Recently a number of functions have been shown to satisfy relations on polytopes similar to the classic Euler relation. Much of this work has been done by Shephard, and an excellent summary of results of this type may be found in [11]. For such functions, only continuity (with respect to the Hausdorff metric) is required to assure that it is a valuation, and the relationship between these two concepts was explored in [8]. It is our aim in this paper to extend the results obtained there to illustrate the relationship between valuations and the Euler relation on cell complexes.To fix our notions, we will suppose that everything takes place in a given finite-dimensional Euclidean space X.A polytope is the convex hull of a finite set of points and will be referred to as a d-polytope if it has dimension d. Polytopes have faces of all dimensions from 0 to d – 1 and each of these is in turn a polytope. A k-dimensional face will be termed simply a k-face.
