چکیده

For n ≥ 2 a construction is given for a large family of compact convex sets K and L in Rn such that the orthogonal projection Lu onto the subspace u⊥ contains a translate of the corresponding projection Ku for every direction u, while the volumes of K and L satisfy Vn(K) > Vn(L). It is subsequently shown that, if the orthogonal projection Lu onto the subspace u⊥ contains a translate of Ku for every direction u, then the set n n−1 L contains a translate of K. It follows that Vn(K) ≤ ( n n − 1 )n Vn(L). In particular, we derive a universal constant bound Vn(K) ≤ 2.942 Vn(L), independent of the dimension n of the ambient space. Related results are obtained for projections onto subspaces of some fixed intermediate co-dimension. Open questions and conjectures are also posed.

Bounds on the outer-independent double Italian domination number

An outer-independent double Italian dominating function (OIDIDF)on a graph $G$ with vertex set $V(G)$ is a function$f:V(G)longrightarrow {0,1,2,3}$ such that if $f(v)in{0,1}$ for a vertex $vin V(G)$ then $sum_{uin N[v]}f(u)geq3$,and the set $ {uin V(G)|f(u)=0}$ is independent. The weight ofan OIDIDF $f$ is the value $w(f)=sum_{vin V(G)}f(v)$. Theminimum weight of an OIDIDF on a graph $G$ is cal...

Institutional Quality, Natural Resource Rent, and Shadow Economy

Natural resource rent affects countries’ economies through various channels. Revenues from the natural resources sales are expected to boost countries' economic growth, but the economic experience of recent decades reveals the numerous economic problems in these countries, the most important of which may be the increase in the shadow economy size. Moreover, the institutions specify the signific...

Interactive global illumination based on coherent surface shadow maps

Interactive rendering of global illumination effects is a challenging problem. While precomputed radiance transfer (PRT) is able to render such effects in real time the geometry is generally assumed static. This work proposes to replace the precomputed lighting response used in PRT by precomputed depth. Precomputing depth has the same cost as precomputing visibility, but allows visibility tests...

Quantum shadow enumerators

In a recent paper [7], Shor and Laflamme define two “weight enumerators” for quantum error correcting codes, connected by a MacWilliams transform, and use them to give a linear-programming bound for quantum codes. We extend their work by introducing another enumerator, based on the classical theory of shadow codes, that tightens their bounds significantly. In particular, nearly all of the codes...

The Relationship between Electricity Consumption and Economic Growth in the Selected Member Countries of the International Energy Agency (IEA): An ARDL Bounds Test Approach

In this study, the causality links between electricity consumption and economic growth are investigated for Turkey, the United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium and United States covering the period from 1964 to 2014. The results of autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach, bounds testing and error correction model show that there is a positive one-way and statistically significant causality moving...
