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 spectrum of the Thue-Morse quasicrystal and the rarefaction phenomenon

Jean-Pierre Gazeau, Jean-Louis Verger-Gaugry (2008)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

The spectrum of a weighted Dirac comb on the Thue-Morse quasicrystal is investigated by means of the Bombieri-Taylor conjecture, for Bragg peaks, and of a new conjecture that we call Aubry-Godrèche-Luck conjecture, for the singular continuous component. The decomposition of the Fourier transform of the weighted Dirac comb is obtained in terms of tempered distributions. We show that the asymptotic arithmetics of the p -rarefied sums of the Thue-Morse sequence (Dumont; Goldstein, Kelly and Speer; Grabner;...

On the volume method in the study of Auerbach bases of finite-dimensional normed spaces

Anatolij Plichko (1996)

Colloquium Mathematicae

In this note we show that if the ratio of the minimal volume V of n-dimensional parallelepipeds containing the unit ball of an n-dimensional real normed space X to the maximal volume v of n-dimensional crosspolytopes inscribed in this ball is equal to n!, then the relation of orthogonality in X is symmetric. Hence we deduce the following properties: (i) if V/v=n! and if n>2, then X is an inner product space; (ii) in every finite-dimensional normed space there exist at least two different Auerbach...
