Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Convex geometric analysis is the subject that studies geometric structures and invariants of convex sets using both geometric and analytic methods. Results from the convex geometric analysis have been applied in numerous mathematical disciplines: stochastic geometry, integral geometry, differential geometry, Minkowski and Finsler geometry, combinatorial geometry, algebraic geometry, non-linear partial differential equations, especially the Monge–Ampere equations, number theory, Banach space theory, probability and multivariate statistics.

The aim of this Special Issue is to collate original and high-quality research and review articles related to the development of and applications in convex geometry and analysis. We also hope to attract review articles which describe the current state of the art within this field.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Geometric inequalities, isoperimetric inequalities;
  • Minkowski type problem;
  • Differential and integral equations;
  • The completeness of weighted Lp spaces;
  • Banach space theory;
  • Differential geometry;
  • Discrete geometry.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

In this paper, we primarily investigate and establish several properties of spherical Steiner symmetrizations, along with the isoperimetric property of the spherical cap in Sn. Specifically, we study the monotonically decreasing property of the measure of the symmetric difference of two spherical compact sets, the monotonically decreasing property of the spherical diameter of a spherical compact set, the convergence of iterative spherical Steiner symmetrizations, and so on. In particular, we prove that the sequence of iterative spherical Steiner symmetrizations of KSn, which follow sequences selected from a finite set of directions, converges to a spherical cap with the same measure as K, extending the result from Rn to Sn on Steiner symmetrizations. It provides us with valuable insights for studying the relevant applications and conclusions of spherical Steiner symmetrizations. Full article

Using these stability results and the relationship of the compact support of functions, we establish the stability of the Borell–Brascamp–Lieb inequality for multiple power concave functions via relative asymmetry.

The Wiener index is one of the most classic and widely used indicators in topology. It reflects the average distance of any node pair in the graph. It not only makes the boundaries of given graphs clearer but also continuously generates topological indices that are more suitable for new fields, such as the Gutman index. The Wiener index and Gutman index are two important topological indices, which are commonly used to describe the characteristics of molecular structure. They are closely related to the physical and chemical properties of molecular compounds. And they are widely used to predict the physical and chemical properties and biological activity of molecular compounds. In this paper, we study the vertex Gutman index and Gutman index and describe the structural characteristics of all cases of two simple cycles intersecting. We comprehensively analyze the Gutman index and vertex Gutman index in these cases in detail by means of classification discussion and analogical reasoning and characterize their maximum and minimum accordingly.

In Chuanming Zong’s program to attack Hadwiger’s covering conjecture, which is a longstanding open problem from Convex and Discrete Geometry, it is essential to estimate covering functionals of convex bodies effectively. Recently, He et al. and Yu et al. provided two deterministic global optimization algorithms having high computational complexity for this purpose. Since satisfactory estimations of covering functionals will be sufficient in Zong’s program, we propose a stochastic global optimization algorithm based on CUDA and provide an error estimation for the algorithm. The accuracy of our algorithm is tested by comparing numerical and exact values of covering functionals of convex bodies including the Euclidean unit disc, the three-dimensional Euclidean unit ball, the regular tetrahedron, and the regular octahedron. We also present estimations of covering functionals for the regular dodecahedron and the regular icosahedron. Full article
