چکیده

We present numerical methods to solve optimization problems on the space of convex functions or among convex bodies. Hence convexity is a constraint on the admissible objects, whereas the functionals are not required to be convex. To deal with, our method mix geometrical and numerical algorithms. We give several applications arising from classical problems in geometry and analysis: Alexandrov’s problem of finding a convex body of prescribed surface function; Cheeger’s problem of a subdomain minimizing the ratio surface area on volume; Newton’s problem of the body of minimal resistance. In particular for the latter application, the minimizers are still unknown, except in some particular classes. We give approximate solutions better than the theoretical known ones, hence demonstrating that the minimizers do not belong to these classes.

Sweep Line Algorithm for Convex Hull Revisited

Convex hull of some given points is the intersection of all convex sets containing them. It is used as primary structure in many other problems in computational geometry and other areas like image processing, model identification, geographical data systems, and triangular computation of a set of points and so on. Computing the convex hull of a set of point is one of the most fundamental and imp...

L-CONVEX SYSTEMS AND THE CATEGORICAL ISOMORPHISM TO SCOTT-HULL OPERATORS

The concepts of $L$-convex systems and Scott-hull spaces are proposed on frame-valued setting. Also, we establish the categorical isomorphism between  $L$-convex systems and Scott-hull spaces. Moreover, it is proved that the category of $L$-convex structures is  bireflective in the category of $L$-convex systems. Furthermore, the quotient systems of $L$-convex systems are studied.

2 KINEMATIC FORMULAE FOR SUPPORT MEASURES OF CONVEX BODIESif

A new kinematic formula for the support measures of convex bodies is proved. The underlying operation is the convex hull operation for pairs of convex bodies. Further, the concept of mixed support measures is introduced and kinematic relations for these new functionals are indicated.

Category and subcategories of (L,M)-fuzzy convex spaces

Inthispaper, (L,M)-fuzzy domain finiteness and (L,M)-fuzzy restricted hull spaces are introduced, and several characterizations of the category (L,M)-CS of (L,M)-fuzzy convex spaces are obtained. Then, (L,M)-fuzzy stratified (resp. weakly induced, induced) convex spaces are introduced. It is proved that both categories, the category (L,M)-SCS of (L,M)-fuzzy stratified convex spaces and the cate...
