Optimal roughening of convex bodies
نویسنده
چکیده
A body moves in a rarefied medium composed of point particles at rest. The particles make elastic reflections when colliding with the body surface, and do not interact with each other. We consider a generalization of Newton’s minimal resistance problem: given two bounded convex bodies C1 and C2 such that C1 ⊂ C2 ⊂ R and ∂C1 ∩∂C2 = ∅, minimize the resistance in the class of connected bodies B such that C1 ⊂ B ⊂ C2. We prove that the infimum of resistance is zero; that is, there exist ”almost perfectly streamlined” bodies. Mathematics subject classifications: 37D50, 49Q10

Billiards, scattering by rough obstacles and optimal mass transportation
This article presents a brief exposition of recent results of the author on billiard scattering by rough obstacles. We define the notion of a rough body and give a characterization of scattering by rough bodies. Then we define the resistance of a rough body; it can be interpreted as the aerodynamic resistance of the somersaulting body moving through a rarefied medium. We solve the problems of m...

متن کاملAsymptotic approximation of smooth convex bodies by general polytopes
For the optimal approximation of convex bodies by inscribed or circumscribed polytopes there are precise asymptotic results with respect to different notions of distance. In this paper we want to derive some results on optimal approximation without restricting the polytopes to be inscribed or circumscribed. Let Pn and P(n) denote the set of polytopes with at most n vertices and n facets, respec...
متن کاملNew analysis of the sphere covering problems and optimal polytope approximation of convex bodies
In this paper, we show that both sphere covering problems and optimal polytope approximation of convex bodies are related to optimal Delaunay triangulations, which are the triangulations minimizing the interpolation error between function ‖x‖2 and its linear interpolant based on the underline triangulations. We then develop a new analysis based on the estimate of the interpolation error to get ...
