We investigate the structure of the Minkowski sum of standard simplices in R. In particular, we investigate the one-dimensional structure, the vertices, their degrees and the edges in the Minkowski sum polytope. 2000 MSC: 52B05, 52B11, 05C07.

A subset of a metric space is a k-distance set if there are exactly k non-zero distances occuring between points. We conjecture that a k-distance set in a d-dimensional Banach space (or Minkowski space), contains at most (k+1) points, with equality iff the unit ball is a parallelotope. We solve this conjecture in the affirmative for all 2-dimensional spaces and for spaces where the unit ball is...

Let A be a finite nonempty set of integers. An asymptotic estimate of several dilates sum size was obtained by Bukh. The unique known exact bound concerns the sum |A + k ·A|, where k is a prime and |A| is large. In its full generality, this bound is due to Cilleruelo, Serra and the first author. Let k be an odd prime and assume that |A| > 8kk. A corollary to our main result states that |2 · A +...

This note presents elementary geometric descriptions of several simple families of harmonic functions on the upper sheet of the unit hyperboloid in Minkowski three-space. As is briefly discussed here, these calculations grew out of an earlier attempt to construct Poincaré series on punctured surfaces using Minkowski geometry. Introduction The material in this note grew out of an attempt (discus...

In [F] Firey extended the notion of the Minkowski sum, and introduced, for each real p, a new linear combination of convex bodies, what he called p-sums. E. Lutwak [Lu2], [Lu3] showed that these Firey sums lead to a Brunn-Minkowski theory for each p ≥ 1. He introduced the notions of p-mixed volume, p-surface area measure, and proved an integral representation and inequalities for p−mixed volume...

Minkowski sum is an important operation. It is used in many domains such as: computer-aided design, robotics, spatial planning, mathematical morphology, and image processing. We propose a novel algorithm, named the Contributing Verticesbased Minkowski Sum (CVMS) algorithm for the computation of the Minkowski sum of convex polyhedra. The CVMS algorithm allows to easily obtain all the facets of t...

Global conformal invariance (GCI) of quantum field theory (QFT) in two and higher space–time dimensions implies the Huygens’ principle, and hence, rationality of correlation functions of observable fields [29]. The conformal Hamiltonian H has discrete spectrum assumed here to be finitely degenerate. We then prove that thermal expectation values of field products on compactified Minkowski space ...
