Geometric optimization problems generated by plane curves
Petar Kenderov, Oleg Mushkarov, Nikolai Nikolov
Let and be regular -smooth curves in the plane and be a regular -smooth curve in the same plane. Consider all triples of points , …
Moving rectangular sofas in planar and spatial corridors
Oleg Mushkarov, Nikolai Nikolov
We consider eight natural planar corridors, including the standard -shaped one, and characterize the rectangles that can move around their corners. As a bi-product we d…
On a geometric extremum problem for convex cones
Oleg Mushkarov, Nikolai Nikolov
We discuss the optimization problem for minimizing the -volume of the intersection of a convex cone in with a hyperplane through a given point, first consider…
A Generalization of a Classical Geometric Extremum Problem
Petar Kenderov, Oleg Mushkarov, Nikolai Nikolov
Let be the boundary of a compact convex body in , and be an interior point of . Every straight line…
A Picard little theorem for entire functions of matrices
Oleg Mushkarov, Nikolai Nikolov
An analog of Picard's little theorem for entire functions of matrices is proved.
