Mathematische Zeitschrift A local Steiner–type formula for general closed sets and applications

چکیده
We introduce support (curvature) measures of an arbitrary closed set A in R and establish a local Steiner–type formula for the localized parallel volume of A. We derive some of the basic properties of these support measures and explore how they are related to the curvature measures available in the literature. Then we use the support measures in analysing contact distributions of stationary random closed sets, with a particular emphasis on the Boolean model with general compact particles.

Mathematische Zeitschrift On Einstein four-manifolds with S1-actions
We study closed Einstein 4-manifolds which admit S1 actions of a certain type, i.e., warped products. In particular, we classify them up to isometry when the fixed point of the S1 action satisfies certain natural geometric conditions. The proof uses the Bochner-Weitzenböck formula for 1-forms and the theory of minimal surfaces in 3-manifolds.
متن کاملNordhaus-Gaddum type results for the Harary index of graphs
The emph{Harary index} $H(G)$ of a connected graph $G$ is defined as $H(G)=sum_{u,vin V(G)}frac{1}{d_G(u,v)}$ where $d_G(u,v)$ is the distance between vertices $u$ and $v$ of $G$. The Steiner distance in a graph, introduced by Chartrand et al. in 1989, is a natural generalization of the concept of classical graph distance. For a connected graph $G$ of order at least $2$ ...
متن کاملThe Steiner Formula for Erosions
If A and K are compact convex sets in Rn, a Steiner-type formula is valid for the erosion of A by K if and only if A is open with respect to K. The if part is proved in the general case. The only if part is conjectured, and proved only in the case n = 2.
متن کاملIndependent sets in Steiner triple systems
A set of points in a Steiner triple system (STS(v)) is said to be independent if no three of these points occur in the same block. In this paper we derive for each k ≤ 8 a closed formula for the number of independent sets of cardinality k in an STS(v). We use the formula to prove that every STS(21) has an independent set of cardinality eight and is as a consequence 4-colourable. AMS classificat...
متن کاملThe Steiner diameter of a graph
The Steiner distance of a graph, introduced by Chartrand, Oellermann, Tian and Zou in 1989, is a natural generalization of the concept of classical graph distance. For a connected graph $G$ of order at least $2$ and $Ssubseteq V(G)$, the Steiner distance $d(S)$ among the vertices of $S$ is the minimum size among all connected subgraphs whose vertex sets contain $S$. Let $...
