Abstract  

Let S d-1 denote the (d − 1)-dimensional unit sphere centered at the origin of the d-dimensional Euclidean space. Let 0 < α < π. A set P of points in S d-1 is called almost α-equidistant if among any three points of P there is at least one pair lying at spherical distance α. In this note we prove upper bounds on the cardinality of P depending only on d.

Abstract  

In this paper we prove some stronger versions of Danzer-Grnbaum's theorem including the following stability-type result. For 0 < α < 14π/27 the maximum number of vertices of a convex polyhedron in E 3 such that all angles between adjacent edges are bounded from above by α is 8. One of the main tools is the spherical geometry version of Pl's theorem.

, which are centers of balls B d (p i , r i ) and B d (q i , r i ) of radius r i , for i = 1, …, N. In [9] it was conjectured that if the pairwise distances between ball centers p are contracted in going to the centers q, then the volume of the union of the balls does not increase. For d = 2 this was proved in [1], and for the case when the centers are contracted continuously for all d in [2]. One extension of the Kneser-Poulsen conjecture, suggested in [6], was to consider various Boolean expressions in the unions and intersections of the balls, called flowers, where appropriate pairs of centers are only permitted to increase, and others are only permitted to decrease. Again under these distance constraints, the volume of the flower was conjectured to change in a monotone way. Here we show that these generalized Kneser-Poulsen flower conjectures are equivalent to an inequality between certain integrals of functions (called flower weight functions) over

, where the functions in question are constructed from maximum and minimum operations applied to functions each being radially symmetric monotone decreasing and integrable.

Let 𝔼 𝑑 denote the 𝑑-dimensional Euclidean space. The 𝑟-ball body generated by a given set in 𝔼 𝑑 is the intersection of balls of radius 𝑟 centered at the points of the given set. The author [Discrete Optimization 44/1 (2022), Paper No. 100539] proved the following Blaschke–Santaló-type inequalities for 𝑟-ball bodies: for all 0 < 𝑘 < 𝑑 and for any set of given 𝑑-dimensional volume in 𝔼 𝑑 the 𝑘-th intrinsic volume of the 𝑟-ball body generated by the set becomes maximal if the set is a ball. In this note we give a new proof showing also the uniqueness of the maximizer. Some applications and related questions are mentioned as well.
