On a Conjecture by Auerbach

In 1938 Herman Auerbach published a paper where he showed a deep connection between the solutions of the Ulam problem of floating bodies and a class of sets studied by Zindler, that are the planar sets whose bisecting chords have all the same length. In the same paper he conjectured that among Zindler sets the one with minimal area, as well as with maximal perimeter, is given by the so-called “...

First Prize Erich

ing from detail, it is instructive to consider what would happen in a perfectly flexible economy, if schooling actually displayed stagnant productivity while all other sectors faced a constant positive rate of productivity growth. The outcome would be what Baumol (1967) has called the cost disease of services. With a functioning labour market, the wages of workers in the stagnantproductivity se...

Auerbach bases and minimal volume sufficient enlargements

Let BY denote the unit ball of a normed linear space Y . A symmetric, bounded, closed, convex set A in a finite dimensional normed linear space X is called a sufficient enlargement for X if, for an arbitrary isometric embedding of X into a Banach space Y , there exists a linear projection P : Y → X such that P (BY ) ⊂ A. Each finite dimensional normed space has a minimal-volume sufficient enlar...
