The Steiner Formula for Erosions
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Nordhaus-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 Minkowski valuations
A Steiner type formula for continuous translation invariant Minkowski valuations is established. In combination with a recent result on the symmetry of rigid motion invariant homogeneous bivaluations, this new Steiner type formula is used to obtain a family of Brunn-Minkowski type inequalities for rigid motion intertwining Minkowski valuations.
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 $...
متن کاملStability of the Steiner symmetrization of convex sets
The isoperimetric inequality for Steiner symmetrization of any codimension is investigated and the equality cases are characterized. Moreover, a quantitative version of this inequality is proven for convex sets.
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...
