Simplices rarely contain their circumcenter in high dimensions

Jon Eivind Vatne (2017)

Applications of Mathematics

Acute triangles are defined by having all angles less than π / 2 , and are characterized as the triangles containing their circumcenter in the interior. For simplices of dimension n 3 , acuteness is defined by demanding that all dihedral angles between ( n - 1 ) -dimensional faces are smaller than π / 2 . However, there are, in a practical sense, too few acute simplices in general. This is unfortunate, since the acuteness property provides good qualitative features for finite element methods. The property of acuteness...

Some characterization of locally nonconical convex sets

Witold Seredyński (2004)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A closed convex set Q in a local convex topological Hausdorff spaces X is called locally nonconical (LNC) if for every x , y Q there exists an open neighbourhood U of x such that ( U Q ) + 1 2 ( y - x ) Q . A set Q is local cylindric (LC) if for x , y Q , x y , z ( x , y ) there exists an open neighbourhood U of z such that U Q (equivalently: b d ( Q ) U ) is a union of open segments parallel to [ x , y ] . In this paper we prove that these two notions are equivalent. The properties LNC and LC were investigated in [3], where the implication L N C L C was proved in general, while...
