On the size of approximately convex sets in normed spaces

S. Dilworth, Ralph Howard, James Roberts (2000)

Studia Mathematica

Let X be a normed space. A set A ⊆ X is approximately convexif d(ta+(1-t)b,A)≤1 for all a,b ∈ A and t ∈ [0,1]. We prove that every n-dimensional normed space contains approximately convex sets A with ( A , C o ( A ) ) l o g 2 n - 1 and d i a m ( A ) C n ( l n n ) 2 , where ℋ denotes the Hausdorff distance. These estimates are reasonably sharp. For every D>0, we construct worst possible approximately convex sets in C[0,1] such that ℋ(A,Co(A))=(A)=D. Several results pertaining to the Hyers-Ulam stability theorem are also proved.

On the size of the sets of gradients of bump functions and starlike bodies on the Hilbert space

Daniel Azagra, Mar Jiménez-Sevilla (2002)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We study the size of the sets of gradients of bump functions on the Hilbert space 2 , and the related question as to how small the set of tangent hyperplanes to a smooth bounded starlike body in 2 can be. We find that those sets can be quite small. On the one hand, the usual norm of the Hilbert space 2 can be uniformly approximated by C 1 smooth Lipschitz functions ψ so that the cones generated by the ranges of its derivatives ψ ' ( 2 ) have empty interior. This implies that there are C 1 smooth Lipschitz bumps...
