A bound on a convexity measure for point sets

چکیده

A planar point set is in convex position precisely when it has a convex polygonization, that is, a polygonization with maximum interior angle measure at most π. We can thus talk about the convexity of a set of points in terms of the minimum, taken over all polygonizations, of the maximum interior angle. The main result presented here is a nontrivial combinatorial upper bound of this min-max value in terms of the number of points in the set. Motivated by a particular construction, we also pose a natural conjecture for the best upper bound.

A full NT-step O(n) infeasible interior-point method for Cartesian P_*(k) –HLCP over symmetric cones using exponential convexity

In this paper, by using the exponential convexity property of a barrier function, we propose an infeasible interior-point method for Cartesian P_*(k) horizontal linear complementarity problem over symmetric cones. The method uses Nesterov and Todd full steps, and we prove that the proposed algorithm is well define. The iteration bound coincides with the currently best iteration bound for the Ca...

Convexity and Geodesic Metric Spaces

In this paper, we first present a preliminary study on metric segments and geodesics in metric spaces. Then we recall the concept of d-convexity of sets and functions in the sense of Menger and study some properties of d-convex sets and d-convex functions as well as extreme points and faces of d-convex sets in normed spaces. Finally we study the continuity of d-convex functions in geodesic metr...

A note on decision making in medical investigations using new divergence measures for intuitionistic fuzzy sets

Srivastava and Maheshwari (Iranian Journal of Fuzzy Systems 13(1)(2016) 25-44) introduced a new divergence measure for intuitionisticfuzzy sets (IFSs). The properties of the proposed divergence measurewere studied and the efficiency of the proposed divergence measurein the context of medical diagnosis was also demonstrated. In thisnote, we point out some errors in ...

C*-Extreme Points and C*-Faces oF the Epigraph iF C*-Affine Maps in *-Rings

Abstract. In this paper, we define the notion of C*-affine maps in the unital *-rings and we investigate the C*-extreme points of the graph and epigraph of such maps. We show that for a C*-convex map f on a unital *-ring R satisfying the positive square root axiom with an additional condition, the graph of f is a C*-face of the epigraph of f. Moreover, we prove som...
