Is a ball the hardest body to approximate by polytopes (in the Banach–Mazur metric)?
Let me give a proof of rozu's guess that $\phi_3(D)=1/2$ and $\phi_3(S)=\sqrt{2}-1$ if $D$, $S$ are a disk and a square. This disproves your conjecture.
First of all, for every $K$ and every $N$ the c …

Find the number of triangles in plane
Your argument already gives $$2\cdot\frac{(n-6c)^3}{216}+3\cdot \frac{(n-6c)^3}{108}=\frac{(n-6c)^3}{27}$$
triangles.

On centrally symmetric convex figures on the hyperbolic plane
"Only if" part (for a symmetric region, bisectors are concurrent) is rather clear.
Now "if" part. Assume that the common point of all bisectors exists, denote it by $O$. Clearly every chord $AOB$ thro …

Prékopa-Leindler style inequality?
Is not it obvious (unlike Prékopa-Leindler)?
We are given that for all $x_1,x_2$ we have $(f_1/g_1)^2 (x_1)\leqslant (g_2/f_2)^3(x_2)$, thus there exists $c>0$ such that $(f_1/g_1)^2 (x_1)\leqslant c^ …

Monotonicity of perimeter of convex subsets of hyperbolic plane
Does not an elementary Euclidean proof work verbatim? If both sets are polygons, the interior one is obtained from the exterior one by cuts (i.e. transformations $P\to P\cap H$, where $P$ is a polygon …

On faces of polytopes
Let $A_0\subset A$ be the set where $\ell$ attains a minimum on $A$. It is a face of some dimension $k<d$. If $k=d-1$, we are done. Assume that $k<d-1$. Without loss of generality, $0\in A_0$ and more …

Does a matroid base polytope contain its circumcenter?
I do not think so. Consider a uniform matroid on 3 elements $a, b, c$ of rank 2, and take 100 copies of $a$ (so, totally we have 102 elements). Then the matroid base polytope has full dimension 101, t …

A claim on the concurrency of area bisectors of planar convex regions
A planar convex region is centrally symmetric if and only if its area bisectors are all concurrent.
Yes. Let all area bisectors of our region $K$ pass through a point $O$. Note that any line $\ell$ …

Contact points for John's ellipsoid
Looks true. A necessary and sufficient condition for these points (let $E$ be a standard ball) is that the identity operator $I$ is a non-negative linear combination of projectors $P_i$ on lines throu …

Minimum Euclidean squared norm in the convex hull of points with rational coordinates
Yes, this is true in general case. Let $P={\rm conv} M$ for a finite set $M\subset \mathbb{Q}^n$, and let $x_0$ be a minimizer of $\|x\|^2$ over $x\in P$. I am going to prove that $x_0\in \mathbb{Q}^n …

If $C_1\subseteq C_2$ are two closed convex cones that are pointed with $\partial C_1\subset...
Assume that $q\in C_2\setminus C_1$. Let $p$ be an interior point of $C_1$. Then the interval $(p,q)$ contains a boundary point of $C_1$ but only interior points of $C_2$. A contradiction.

Convex-like properties of the polar parametrization of the boundary a convex body on the plane
If $f(x)=\min\{s>0:x/s\in B\}$ is Minkowski functional of $B$, then $f$ is a convex function on the plane and ${\bf p}(t)=\frac{e^{it}}{f(e^{it})}$. I think your claims now follow from the properties …

Number of Inner Diagonals of Convex Hulls of $n+2$ Points in Convex Configuration in $E^n$
If $p_1,\dots,p_{n+2}$ are the vertices and $\sum \lambda_i p_i=0$, $\sum \lambda_i=0$, is their (let it be unique for a moment) affine dependence, the point $q=\alpha p_i+(1-\alpha) p_j$ on the diago …

Almost convex combinations in $\mathbb R^n$
I do not know the reference, but it looks that even more may be achieved: $t_1,\dots,t_{n-1}$ may be chosen close to 0 and $t_n$ close to 1. Indeed, if the span of $a\cup A$ is spanned by linearly ind …

Let $X\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ and let $F$ be a face of $\mathop{\rm conv} X$. Then $F=\mathop...
This follows from the
Lemma. If $F$ is a face of $conv(X)$, $x\in F$ and a finite subset $A\subset X$ is inclusion-minimal subset for which $x\in conv(A)$, then $A\subset F$.
Proof. Induction in $|A …
