The Convex Hull of a Typical Compact Set.
We describe some known metrics in the family of convex sets which are stronger than the Hausdorff metric and propose a new one. These stronger metrics preserve in some sense the facial structure of convex sets under small changes of sets.
We survey results concerning the extent to which information about a convex body's projections or sections determine that body. We will see that, if the body is known to be centrally symmetric, then it is determined by the size of its projections. However, without the symmetry condition, knowledge of the average shape of projections or sections often determines the body. Rather surprisingly, the dimension of the projections or sections plays a key role and exceptional cases do occur but appear to...
For convex continuous functions defined respectively in neighborhoods of points in a normed linear space, a formula for the distance between and in terms of (i.eẇithout using the dual) is proved. Some corollaries, like a new characterization of the subdifferential of a continuous convex function at a point, are given. This, together with a theorem from [4], implies a sufficient condition for a family of continuous convex functions on a barrelled normed linear space to be locally uniformly...
A result about the distribution of the number of nodes in the relative interior of the typical I-segment in homogeneous and isotropic random tessellations stable under iteration (STIT tessellations) is extended to the anisotropic case using recent findings from Schreiber/Thäle, Typical geometry, second-order properties and central limit theory for iteration stable tessellations, arXiv:1001.0990 [math.PR] (2010). Moreover a new expression for the values of this probability distribution is presented...
