Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book provides the solutions to all 347 exercises contained in the text Convexity from the Geometric Point of View, published in the same Cornerstones series. All these exercises are restated and numbered analogously to those in the original text. The corresponding solutions follow each exercise. Besides the discussion of all solutions, some additional facts about the main text are sprinkled throughout. Sections of further reading are posted to the ends of each chapter supplying the reader with background literature to selected notions and tools that play a role in the exercises and/or solutions to the chapter.The original text gives a comprehensive introduction to the 'common core' of convex geometry and is suitable as a primary text for courses in convex geometry and in discrete geometry (including polytopes). Additionally, it can be used as a single reference for a complete introduction to convex geometry. The content coverage is sufficiently broad that the reader may gain a glimpse of the entire breadth of the field, various subfields, and interesting connections to neighboring disciplines. Mainly directed to graduate and advanced undergraduates, the original text is self-contained in such a way that it can be read by anyone who has standard undergraduate knowledge of analysis and of linear algebra. The same is true for this book of solutions.

Riassunto

This book provides the solutions to all 347 exercises contained in the text Convexity from the Geometric Point of View, published in the same Cornerstones series. All these exercises are restated and numbered analogously to those in the original text. The corresponding solutions follow each exercise.   Besides the discussion of all solutions, some additional facts about the main text are sprinkled throughout. Sections of further reading are posted to the ends of each chapter supplying the reader with background literature to selected notions and tools that play a role in the exercises and/or solutions to the chapter.

The original text gives a comprehensive introduction to the “common core” of convex geometry and is suitable as a primary text for courses in convex geometry and in discrete geometry (including polytopes). Additionally, it can be used as a single reference for a complete introduction to convex geometry. The content coverage is sufficiently broad that the reader may gain a glimpse of the entire breadth of the field, various subfields, and interesting connections to neighboring disciplines. Mainly directed to graduate and advanced undergraduates, the original text is self-contained in such a way that it can be read by anyone who has standard undergraduate knowledge of analysis and of linear algebra. The same is true for this book of solutions.

Informazioni sull?autore

Vitor Balestro is a Professor of Mathematics at Federal Fluminense University in Niterói, Brazil. He received his PhD in Mathematics from the same university in 2016. In Mathematics, his research interests include convex geometry, geometry of finite dimensional normed spaces, convex analysis and functional analysis. Outside of Mathematics, his main interests are computer programming, computer science, music, and literature.

Horst Martini Before his retirement in 2020, Horst Martini was Full Professor of Mathematics at the Chemnitz University of Technology in Germany (Chair of Geometry). After receiving his Ph.D. in Dresden, in 1988 he obtained his habilitation from the University of Jena, and in 1993 he received his position in Chemnitz. His research interests include convex geometry, discrete geometry, functional analysis, and classical subfields of geometry, as well as applications in optimization and related fields. He also studies certain fields in history of mathematics. For about fifteen years he was editor in chief f the Springer journal Contributions to Algebra and Geometry, and in 2015 he received an honorary professorship from the Harbin University f Science and Technology (China). His passions include travelling to interesting places of geographical and historical significance and studying different genres of good music.

Ralph Teixeira is a Professor of Mathematics at Federal Fluminense University in Niterói, Brazil. He received his PhD in Mathematics from Harvard University in 1998, and has since worked in many areas, including Mathematics applied to Computer Vision, Differential and Discrete Geometry, and lately Convex Geometry. Second to his wife, his main love is computer gaming, but he would never admit this in public.
