On the lower semicontinuous quasiconvex envelope for unbounded integrands (I)

Marcus Wagner (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Motivated by the study of multidimensional control problems of Dieudonné-Rashevsky type, we raise the question how to understand to notion of quasiconvexity for a continuous function f with a convex body K n m instead of the whole space n m as the range of definition. In the present paper, we trace the consequences of an infinite extension of f outside K, and thus study quasiconvex functions which are allowed to take the value +∞. As an appropriate envelope, we introduce and investigate the lower semicontinuous...

On the measurability of sets of pairs of intersecting nonisotropic straight lines of type beta in the simply isotropic space

Adrijan Varbanov Borisov, Margarita Georgieva Spirova (2009)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

The measurable sets of pairs of intersecting non-isotropic straight lines of type β and the corresponding densities with respect to the group of general similitudes and some its subgroups are described. Also some Crofton-type formulas are presented.

On the number of intersections of two polygons

Jakub Černý, Jan Kára, Daniel Kráľ, Pavel Podbrdský, Miroslava Sotáková, Robert Šámal (2003)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We study the maximum possible number f ( k , l ) of intersections of the boundaries of a simple k -gon with a simple l -gon in the plane for k , l 3 . To determine the number f ( k , l ) is quite easy and known when k or l is even but still remains open for k and l both odd. We improve (for k l ) the easy upper bound k l - l to k l - k / 6 - l and obtain exact bounds for k = 5 ( f ...
