Étude des différences de corps convexes plans

Yves Martinez-Maure (1999)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We characterize the linear space ℋ of differences of support functions of convex bodies of 𝔼² and we consider every h ∈ ℋ as the support function of a generalized hedgehog (a rectifiable closed curve having exactly one oriented support line in each direction). The mixed area (for plane convex bodies identified with their support functions) has a symmetric bilinear extension to ℋ which can be interpreted as a mixed area for generalized hedgehogs. We study generalized hedgehogs and we extend the...

Euclidean arrangements in Banach spaces

Daniel J. Fresen (2015)

Studia Mathematica

We study the way in which the Euclidean subspaces of a Banach space fit together, somewhat in the spirit of the Kashin decomposition. The main tool that we introduce is an estimate regarding the convex hull of a convex body in John's position with a Euclidean ball of a given radius, which leads to a new and simplified proof of the randomized isomorphic Dvoretzky theorem. Our results also include a characterization of spaces with nontrivial cotype in terms of arrangements of Euclidean subspaces.

Euler's Polyhedron Formula

Jesse Alama (2008)

Formalized Mathematics

Euler's polyhedron theorem states for a polyhedron p, thatV - E + F = 2,where V, E, and F are, respectively, the number of vertices, edges, and faces of p. The formula was first stated in print by Euler in 1758 [11]. The proof given here is based on Poincaré's linear algebraic proof, stated in [17] (with a corrected proof in [18]), as adapted by Imre Lakatos in the latter's Proofs and Refutations [15].As is well known, Euler's formula is not true for all polyhedra. The condition on polyhedra considered...
