On a characterization of normal and countably paracompact spaces via set-avoiding selections
We give a characterization of normal and countably paracompact spaces via continuous set-avoiding selections.
On exposed points and extremal points of convex sets in ℝⁿ and Hilbert space
Let be a Euclidean space or the Hilbert space ℓ², let k ∈ ℕ with k < dim , and let B be convex and closed in . Let be a collection of linear k-subspaces of . A set C ⊂ is called a -imitation of B if B and C have identical orthogonal projections along every P ∈ . An extremal point of B with respect to the projections under is a point that all closed subsets of B that are -imitations of B have in common. A point x of B is called exposed by if there is a P ∈ such that (x+P) ∩ B = x. In the present...
On closed sets with convex projections in Hilbert space
Let k be a fixed natural number. We show that if C is a closed and nonconvex set in Hilbert space such that the closures of the projections onto all k-hyperplanes (planes with codimension k) are convex and proper, then C must contain a closed copy of Hilbert space. In order to prove this result we introduce for convex closed sets B the set consisting of all points of B that are extremal with respect to projections onto k-hyperplanes. We prove that is precisely the intersection of all k-imitations...
