We investigate weighted floating bodies of polytopes. We show that the weighted volume depends on the complete flags of the polytope. This connection is obtained by introducing flag simplices, which translate between the metric and combinatorial structure. Our results are applied in spherical and hyperbolic space. This leads to new asymptotic results for polytopes in these spaces. We also provide explicit examples of spherical and hyperbolic convex bodies whose floating bodies behave completely different from any convex body in Euclidean space.
We study a long standing open problem by Ulam, which is whether the Euclidean ball is the unique body of uniform density which will float in equilibrium in any direction. We answer this problem in the class of origin symmetric n-dimensional convex bo
We study the class of (locally) anti-blocking bodies as well as some associated classes of convex bodies. For these bodies, we prove geometric inequalities regarding volumes and mixed volumes, including Godbersons conjecture, near-optimal bounds on M
Let $X_1,ldots,X_n$ be independent random points that are distributed according to a probability measure on $mathbb{R}^d$ and let $P_n$ be the random convex hull generated by $X_1,ldots,X_n$ ($ngeq d+1$). Natural classes of probability distributions
We introduce and study the mechanical system which describes the dynamics and statics of rigid bodies of constant density floating in a calm incompressible fluid. Since much of the standard equilibrium theory, starting with Archimedes, allows bodies
Floating point arithmetic allows us to use a finite machine, the digital computer, to reach conclusions about models based on continuous mathematics. In this article we work in the other direction, that is, we present examples in which continuous mat
