AbstractGiven r > 1, we consider convex bodies in En which contain a fixed unit ball, and whose extreme points are of distance at least r from the centre of the unit ball, and we investigate how well these convex bodies approximate the unit ball in terms of volume, surface area and mean width. As r tends to one, we prove asymptotic formulae for the error of the approximation, and provide good estimates on the involved constants depending on the dimension.

AbstractLet M be a convex body such that the boundary has positive curvature. Then by a well developed theory dating back to Landau and Hlawka for large λ the number of lattice points in λM is given by G(λM) = V(λM) + O(λd−1−ε(d)) for some positive ε(d). Here we give for general convex bodies the weaker estimatewhere SZd (M) denotes the lattice surface area of M. The term SZd is optimal for all convex bodies and o(λd−1) cannot be improved in general. We prove that the same estimate even holds if we allow small deformations of M.Further we deal with families {Pλ} of convex bodies where the only condition is that the inradius tends to infinity. Here we havewhere the convex body K satisfies some simple condition, V(Pλ; K; 1) is some mixed volume and S(Pλ) is the surface area of Pλ.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to compare some classical positions of convex bodies. We provide exact quantitative results which show that the minimal surface area position and the minimal mean width position are not necessarily M-positions. We also construct examples of unconditional convex bodies of minimal surface area that exhibit the worst possible behavior with respect to their mean width or their minimal hyperplane projection.

Abstract We prove several estimates for the volume, the mean width, and the value of the Wills functional of sections of convex bodies in John’s position, as well as for their polar bodies. These estimates extend some well-known results for convex bodies in John’s position to the case of lower-dimensional sections, which had mainly been studied for the cube and the regular simplex. Some estimates for centrally symmetric convex bodies in minimal surface area position are also obtained.

If $\Delta$ stands for the region enclosed by the triangle in ${\mathsf R}^2$ of vertices $(0,0)$, $(0,1)$ and $(1,0)$ (or simplex for short), we consider the space ${\mathcal P}(^2\Delta)$ of the 2-homogeneous polynomials on ${\mathsf R}^2$ endowed with the norm given by $\|ax^2+bxy+cy^2\|_\Delta:=\sup\{|ax^2+bxy+cy^2|:(x,y)\in\Delta\}$ for every $a,b,c\in{\mathsf R}$. We investigate some geometrical properties of this norm. We provide an explicit formula for $\|\cdot\|_\Delta$, a full description of the extreme points of the corresponding unit ball and a parametrization and a plot of its unit sphere. Using this geometrical information we also find sharp Bernstein and Markov inequalities for ${\mathcal P}(^2\Delta)$ and show that a classical inequality of Martin does not remain true for homogeneous polynomials on non symmetric convex bodies.

AbstractWe provide general inequalities that compare the surface area S(K) of a convex body K in ℝn to the minimal, average, or maximal surface area of its hyperplane or lower dimensional projections. We discuss the same questions for all the quermassintegrals of K. We examine separately the dependence of the constants on the dimension in the case where K is in some of the classical positions or K is a projection body. Our results are in the spirit of the hyperplane problem, with sections replaced by projections and volume by surface area.

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).

1.1. We will denote by B the open unit ball in Cn, and we will denote by H(B) the class of all holomorphic functions on B. LetThus N(B) is convex (and compact in the compact open topology). We think that the structure of N(B) is of interest and importance. Thus we proved in [1] that if(1.1)if(1.2)and if n≧ 2, then g is an extreme point of N(B). We will denote by E(B) the class of all extreme points of N(B). If n = 1 and if (1.2) holds, then as is well known g ∈ E(B) if and only if(1.3)
