Maximizing ratio volume/diameter^n by an affinity
Suppose we have a convex compact body $D\subset \mathbb R^n$. We can try to apply affine transformation keeping the volume and decreasing the diameter of $D$.
It is clear that there is a constant $\...

n-simplex in an intersection of n balls
Consider any $n$-simplex, $n \geq 2$. For each edge $(i,j)$, consider $n$-ball $B_{ij}$ such that vertices $x_i$ and $x_j$ are antipodal on this ball. Fix a point $x_0$ in the simplex. The question: ...

Higher dimensional convex hull
Let $CH(S)$ be a convex hull of a finite set $S$ and denote the set of all the vertices of $CH(S)$ as $Vert(S)$. For a vertex $v \in Vert(S)$, it has an associated set $E(v)$ which is defined as $E(v)=...

Upper and Lower Bounds of the Total Surface Area of Convex Polytopes that Partition a Hypercube
Let $C$ be a hypercube in $\mathbb{R}^D$ with edge length of $L$. Let $\mathcal{P}_1,\ldots,\mathcal{P}_K$ be $K$ convex polytopes that partition $C$. Let $S_k$ be the surface area of the polytope $\...

Is the direction of the longest line of a polytope unique?
The question pertains to a polytope that is generated by the intersection of an affine subspace with a hypercube in $p$ dimensions.
The affine subspace is given by:
$X \mbox{ u} = y$
where
$u$ &...
