On area and side lengths of triangles in normed planes

Gennadiy Averkov, Horst Martini (2009)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let d be a d-dimensional normed space with norm ||·|| and let B be the unit ball in d . Let us fix a Lebesgue measure V B in d with V B ( B ) = 1 . This measure will play the role of the volume in d . We consider an arbitrary simplex T in d with prescribed edge lengths. For the case d = 2, sharp upper and lower bounds of V B ( T ) are determined. For d ≥ 3 it is noticed that the tight lower bound of V B ( T ) is zero.

On Bárány's theorems of Carathéodory and Helly type

Ehrhard Behrends (2000)

Studia Mathematica

The paper begins with a self-contained and short development of Bárány’s theorems of Carathéodory and Helly type in finite-dimensional spaces together with some new variants. In the second half the possible generalizations of these results to arbitrary Banach spaces are investigated. The Carathéodory-Bárány theorem has a counterpart in arbitrary dimensions under suitable uniform compactness or uniform boundedness conditions. The proper generalization of the Helly-Bárány theorem reads as follows:...

On closed sets with convex projections in Hilbert space

Stoyu Barov, Jan J. Dijkstra (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

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 k ( B ) consisting of all points of B that are extremal with respect to projections onto k-hyperplanes. We prove that k ( B ) is precisely the intersection of all k-imitations...
