Pairs of convex bodies in a hyperspace over a Minkowski two-dimensional space joined by a unique metric segment

Let ( , | | · | | ) be a Minkowski space with a unit ball and let ϱ H be the Hausdorff metric induced by | | · | | in the hyperspace of convex bodies (nonempty, compact, convex subsets of ℝ). R. Schneider [RSP] characterized pairs of elements of which can be joined by unique metric segments with respect to ϱ H B for the Euclidean unit ball Bⁿ. We extend Schneider’s theorem to the hyperspace ( ² , ϱ H ) over any two-dimensional Minkowski space.

Parallelograms inscribed in a curve having a circle as π/2-isoptic

Andrzej Miernowski (2008)

Annales UMCS, Mathematica

Jean-Marc Richard observed in [7] that maximal perimeter of a parallelogram inscribed in a given ellipse can be realized by a parallelogram with one vertex at any prescribed point of ellipse. Alain Connes and Don Zagier gave in [4] probably the most elementary proof of this property of ellipse. Another proof can be found in [1]. In this note we prove that closed, convex curves having circles as π/2-isoptics have the similar property.

Piecewise Convex Curves and their Integral Representation

Nedelcheva, M. D. (2006)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 52A10.A convex arc in the plane is introduced as an oriented arc G satisfying the following condition: For any three of its points c1 < c2 < c3 the triangle c1c2c3 is counter-clockwise oriented. It is proved that each such arc G is a closed and connected subset of the boundary of the set FG being the convex hull of G. It is shown that the convex arcs are rectifyable and admit a representation in the natural parameter by the Riemann-Stieltjes integral...
