Consider a polygon P and all neighboring circles (circles going through three consecutive vertices of P). We say that a neighboring circle is extremal if it is empty (no vertices of P inside) or full (no vertices of P outside). It is well known that for any convex polygon there exist at least two empty and at least two full circles, i.e. at least four extremal circles. In 1990 Schatteman considered a generalization of this theorem for convex polytopes in d-dimensional Euclidean space. Namely, he claimed that there exist at least 2d extremal neighboring spheres. In this paper, we show that there are certain gaps in Schattemans proof, which is based on the Bruggesser-Mani shelling method. We show that using this method it is possible to prove that there are at least d+1 extremal neighboring spheres. However, the existence problem of 2d extremal neighboring spheres is still open.
In 1945, A. W. Goodman and R. E. Goodman proved the following conjecture by P. ErdH{o}s: Given a family of (round) disks of radii $r_1$, $ldots$, $r_n$ in the plane it is always possible to cover them by a disk of radius $R = sum r_i$, provided they cannot be separated into two subfamilies by a straight line disjoint from the disks. In this note we show that essentially the same idea may work for different analogues and generalizations of their result. In particular, we prove the following: Given a family of positive homothetic copies of a fixed convex body $K subset mathbb{R}^d$ with homothety coefficients $tau_1, ldots, tau_n > 0$ it is always possible to cover them by a translate of $frac{d+1}{2}left(sum tau_iright)K$, provided they cannot be separated into two subfamilies by a hyperplane disjoint from the homothets.
A subset $X$ in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space is called a $k$-distance set if there are exactly $k$ distances between two distinct points in $X$. Einhorn and Schoenberg conjectured that the vertices of the regular icosahedron is the only 12-point three-distance set in $mathbb{R}^3$ up to isomorphism. In this paper, we prove the uniqueness of 12-point three-distance sets in $mathbb{R}^3$.
This paper proves the following statement: If a convex body can form a three or fourfold translative tiling in three-dimensional space, it must be a parallelohedron. In other words, it must be a parallelotope, a hexagonal prism, a rhombic dodecahedron, an elongated dodecahedron, or a truncated octahedron.
The existence of a homogeneous decomposition for continuous and epi-translation invariant valuations on super-coercive functions is established. Continuous and epi-translation invariant valuations that are epi-homogeneous of degree $n$ are classified. By duality, corresponding results are obtained for valuations on finite-valued convex functions.
