A Simpler Proof of the Negative Association Property for Absolute Values of Measures Tied to Generalized Orlicz Balls

Jakub Onufry Wojtaszczyk (2009)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Negative association for a family of random variables ( X i ) means that for any coordinatewise increasing functions f,g we have ( X i , . . . , X i k ) g ( X j , . . . , X j l ) f ( X i , . . . , X i k ) g ( X j , . . . , X j l ) for any disjoint sets of indices (iₘ), (jₙ). It is a way to indicate the negative correlation in a family of random variables. It was first introduced in 1980s in statistics by Alem Saxena and Joag-Dev Proschan, and brought to convex geometry in 2005 by Wojtaszczyk Pilipczuk to prove the Central Limit Theorem for Orlicz balls. The paper gives a relatively simple proof of...

Almost sure asymptotic behaviour of the r -neighbourhood surface area of Brownian paths

Ondřej Honzl, Jan Rataj (2012)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We show that whenever the q -dimensional Minkowski content of a subset A d exists and is finite and positive, then the “S-content” defined analogously as the Minkowski content, but with volume replaced by surface area, exists as well and equals the Minkowski content. As a corollary, we obtain the almost sure asymptotic behaviour of the surface area of the Wiener sausage in d , d 3 .

An alternative proof of Petty's theorem on equilateral sets

Tomasz Kobos (2013)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

The main goal of this paper is to provide an alternative proof of the following theorem of Petty: in a normed space of dimension at least three, every 3-element equilateral set can be extended to a 4-element equilateral set. Our approach is based on the result of Kramer and Németh about inscribing a simplex into a convex body. To prove the theorem of Petty, we shall also establish that for any three points in a normed plane, forming an equilateral triangle of side p, there exists a fourth point,...

Approximation of the Euclidean ball by polytopes

Monika Ludwig, Carsten Schütt, Elisabeth Werner (2006)

Studia Mathematica

There is a constant c such that for every n ∈ ℕ, there is an Nₙ so that for every N≥ Nₙ there is a polytope P in ℝⁿ with N vertices and v o l ( B P ) c v o l ( B ) N - 2 / ( n - 1 ) where B₂ⁿ denotes the Euclidean unit ball of dimension n.

Aproximación aleatoria de cuerpos convexos.

Fernando Affentranger (1992)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Problems related to the random approximation of convex bodies fall into the field of integral geometry and geometric probabilities. The aim of this paper is to give a survey of known results about the stochastic model that has received special attention in the literature and that can be described as follows:Let K be a d-dimensional convex body in Eucliden space Rd, d ≥ 2. Denote by Hn the convex hull of n independent random points X1, ..., Xn distributed identically and uniformly in the interior...
