On Moments of a Polytope

چکیده
We show that the multivariate generating function of appropriately normalized moments of a measure with homogeneous polynomial density supported on a compact polytope P ⊂ R is a rational function. Its denominator is the product of linear forms dual to the vertices of P raised to the power equal to the degree of the density function. Using this, we solve the inverse moment problem for the set of, not necessarily convex, polytopes having a given set S of vertices. Under a weak non-degeneracy assumption we also show that the uniform measure supported on any such polytope is a linear combination of uniform measures supported on simplices with vertices in S.

A remark on asymptotic enumeration of highest weights in tensor powers of a representation
We consider the semigroup $S$ of highest weights appearing in tensor powers $V^{otimes k}$ of a finite dimensional representation $V$ of a connected reductive group. We describe the cone generated by $S$ as the cone over the weight polytope of $V$ intersected with the positive Weyl chamber. From this we get a description for the asymptotic of the number of highest weights appearing in $V^{otime...
متن کاملNumerical reconstruction of convex polytopes from directional moments
We reconstruct an n-dimensional convex polytope from the knowledge of its directional moments up to a certain order. The directional moments are related to the projection of the polytope vertices on a particular direction. To extract the vertex coordinates from the moment information we combine established numerical algorithms such as generalized eigenvalue computation and linear interval inter...
متن کاملOn Symmetric Versions of Sylvester’s Problem
We consider moments of the normalized volume of a symmetric or nonsymmetric random polytope in a fixed symmetric convex body. We investigate for which bodies these moments are extremized, and calculate exact values in some of the extreme cases. We show that these moments are maximized among planar convex bodies by parallelograms.
متن کاملThe inverse moment problem for convex polytopes
We present a general and novel approach for the reconstruction of any convex d-dimensional polytope P , assuming knowledge of finitely many of its integral moments. In particular, we show that the vertices of an N-vertex convex polytope in R can be reconstructed from the knowledge of O(DN) axial moments (w.r.t. to an unknown polynomial measure of degree D), in d + 1 distinct directions in gener...
متن کاملEffect of IL-2 co-expressed or co-inoculated with immuno-dominant epitopes from VP1 protein of FMD virus on immune responses in BALB/c mice
Objective(s): The results of studies on vaccine development for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus show that the use of inactivated vaccines for FMD virus is not completely effective. Novel vaccinations based on immuno-dominant epitopes have been shown to induce immune responses. Furthermore, for safety of immunization, access to efficient adjuvants against FMD virus seems to be critical.Materi...
