Zero flux along lines

I am considering the $L^1$ ball in $\mathbb{R}^d$, and a conservative vector field $V$ on it, which arises as the gradient of a bounded, almost-everywhere Lipchitz-function. Denoting by $e_i$ as the i’...

Distribution of the support function of convex bodies: beyond mean width

Let $K$ be a symmetric convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (that is the unit ball of a norm). Let $h_K$ be its support function, that is $h_K(u) = \sup_{x \in K}\langle x,u \rangle$. The quantity $w(K) = \...

A self-isometry of the sphere of a strictly convex Banach space that does not move basic vectors

Problem. Let $n\in\mathbb N$, $X$ be a strictly convex $n$-dimensional real Banach space, $S_X=\{x\in X:\|x\|=1\}$ be the unit sphere of $X$, and $e_1,\dots,e_n\in S_X$ be linearly independent points. ...

Let $A,B,C$ be centrally-symmetric convex bodies. What is this function $G(x,y) := \sup_{b \in B}\inf_{a \in A} a^T x - b^T y + \|a-b\|_C$?

Let $A$, $B$, and $C$ be centrally-symmeric convex bodies in $\mathbb R^n$. Note that any such set can such set induces a norm $\|\cdot\|_C$ on $\mathbb R^n$ defined by $\|x\|_C := \sup_{c \in C}c^\...

Is there a dense subset on closed Jordan curve $C$ which its points make intersections under certain rotations?

Is it true that for any given closed Jordan curve of $C \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ there is a dense subset $A$ such that for every point $p\in A$ we have the following property: If we rotate $C$ around $p$...

Monotonicity of canonical ellipsoids

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be the set of compact convex centrally symmetric sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$, and let $\mathcal{E} \subset \mathcal{C}$ be the set of ellipsoids centered at the origin. I'm looking for a ...

On the modulus of convexity of mixed-norm $\ell_{p_1,p_2}$ spaces

Let $\ell_{p_1,p_2}=(\mathbb{R}^{m\times n},\|\cdot\|_{p_1,p_2})$ be the space of $m\times n$ matrices endowed with the mixed-norm $$ \|X\|_{p_1,p_2} = \left( \sum_{j=1}^n \left( \sum_{i=1}^m |x_{ij}|...

Characterization of $l_p$ up to a linear isometry

There is a science called "Geometry of Banach spaces". I wonder if they managed to give a geometric characterization of $\ell_p$ ($p\in[1,\infty]$) up to isometric isomorphism (among all Banach spaces)...

Local minimum from directional derivatives in the space of convex bodies

I have a function $f(K)$ defined on the space of three-dimensional convex bodies for which I want to show that the unit ball $B$ is a local minimum. I have been able to show if $K$ is not homothetic ...

How do maximum norms relatively change in Euclidean translations

Let $Q$ be the cube $[-1,1]^{3}$ and $\pi$ be a plane in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ that contains the origin but doesn't contain any vertex of $Q$. Suppose that $A$ is an invertible linear transformation from $\...
