A new sphere packing in 20 dimensions.
In this paper we introduce a new type of orthogonality for real normed planes which coincides with usual orthogonality in the Euclidean situation. With the help of this type of orthogonality we derive several characterizations of the Euclidean plane among all normed planes, all of them yielding also characteristic properties of inner product spaces among real normed linear spaces of dimensions .
We characterize generalized extreme points of compact convex sets. In particular, we show that if the polyconvex hull is convex in , , then it is constructed from polyconvex extreme points via sequential lamination. Further, we give theorems ensuring equality of the quasiconvex (polyconvex) and the rank-1 convex envelopes of a lower semicontinuous function without explicit convexity assumptions on the quasiconvex (polyconvex) envelope.
In this note we investigate a relationship between the boundary behavior of power series and the composition of formal power series. In particular, we prove that the composition domain of a formal power series is convex and balanced which implies that the subset consisting of formal power series which can be composed by a formal power series possesses such properties. We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the superposition operator to map into itself or to map into...
In this paper we present a result that relates merging of closed convex sets of discrete probability functions respectively by the squared Euclidean distance and the Kullback-Leibler divergence, using an inspiration from the Rényi entropy. While selecting the probability function with the highest Shannon entropy appears to be a convincingly justified way of representing a closed convex set of probability functions, the discussion on how to represent several closed convex sets of probability functions...
We provide a corrected proof of [1, Théorème 9] stating that any metrizable infinite-dimensional simplex is affinely homeomorphic to the intersection of a decreasing sequence of Bauer simplices.
