$\Gamma$-CONVEXITY Zhouqin Jia, Wenzhi Liu Liping Yuan, Tudor Zamfirescu Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2025, 45 (1):  3-15.  DOI: 10.1007/s10473-025-0101-2 Abstract ( 151 )   RICH HTML Save Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of sets in $\mathbb{R}^d\ (\mathrm{always}\ d\geq 2)$. A set $M\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ is called $\mathcal{F}$-convex, if for any pair of distinct points $x, y \in M$, there is a set $F\in \mathcal{F}$ such that $x, y \in F$ and $F \subset M$. We obtain the $\Gamma$-convexity, when $\mathcal{F}$ consists of $\Gamma$-paths. A $\Gamma$-path is the union of both shorter sides of an isosceles right triangle. In this paper we first characterize some $\Gamma$-convex sets, bounded or unbounded, including triangles, regular polygons, subsets of balls, right cylinders and cones, unbounded planar closed convex sets, etc. Then, we investigate the $\Gamma$-starshaped sets, and provide some conditions for a fan, a spherical sector and a right cylinder to be $\Gamma$-starshaped. Finally, we study the $\Gamma$-triple-convexity, which is a discrete generalization of $\Gamma$-convexity, and provide characterizations for all the 4-point sets, some 5-point sets and $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ to be $\Gamma$-triple-convex.

NOTES ON THE LOG-MINKOWSKI INEQUALITY OF CURVATURE ENTROPY Deyi LI, Lei MA, Chunna ZENG Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2025, 45 (1):  16-26.  DOI: 10.1007/s10473-025-0102-1 Abstract ( 233 )   RICH HTML Save An upper estimate of the new curvature entropy is provided, via the integral inequality of a concave function. For two origin-symmetric convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$, this bound is sharper than the log-Minkowski inequality of curvature entropy. As its application, a novel proof of the log-Minkowski inequality of curvature entropy in the plane is given. References | Related Articles | Metrics

MINIMAL WIDTHS AND ORTHOGONALITY TYPES Chan He, Horst Martini, Senlin Wu Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2025, 45 (1):  27-39.  DOI: 10.1007/s10473-025-0103-0 Abstract ( 106 )   RICH HTML Save The minimal widths of three bounded subsets of the unit sphere associated to a unit vector in a normed linear space are studied, and three related geometric constants are introduced. New characterizations of inner product spaces are also presented. From the perspective of minimal width, strong $\varepsilon$-symmetry of Birkhoff orthogonality is introduced, and its relation to $\varepsilon$-symmetry of Birkhoff orthogonality is shown. Unlike most of the existing parameters of the underlying space, these new constants are full dimensional in nature. References | Related Articles | Metrics

WEIGHTED CONE-VOLUME MEASURES OF PSEUDO-CONES Rolf Schneider Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2025, 45 (1):  40-51.  DOI: 10.1007/s10473-025-0104-z Abstract ( 101 )   RICH HTML Save A pseudo-cone in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ is a nonempty closed convex set $K$ not containing the origin and such that $\lambda K \subseteq K$ for all $\lambda\ge 1$. It is called a $C$-pseudo-cone if $C$ is its recession cone, where $C$ is a pointed closed convex cone with interior points. The cone-volume measure of a pseudo-cone can be defined similarly as for convex bodies, but it may be infinite. After proving a necessary condition for cone-volume measures of $C$-pseudo-cones, we introduce suitable weights for cone-volume measures, yielding finite measures. Then we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a Borel measure on the unit sphere to be the weighted cone-volume measure of some $C$-pseudo-cone. References | Related Articles | Metrics

A FUNCTIONAL ORLICZ BUSEMANN-PETTY CENTROID INEQUALITY FOR LOG-CONCAVE FUNCTIONS Xiao Li, Jiazu Zhou Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2025, 45 (1):  52-71.  DOI: 10.1007/s10473-025-0105-y Abstract ( 113 )   RICH HTML Save In this paper, the Orlicz centroid function for log-concave functions is introduced. A rearrangement inequality of the Orlicz centroid function for log-concave functions is obtained. The rearrangement inequality implies the Orlicz Busemann-Petty centroid inequality of Lutwak, Yang and Zhang [23]. References | Related Articles | Metrics

ON GENERALIZED KISSING NUMBERS OF CONVEX BODIES Yiming Li, Chuanming Zong Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2025, 45 (1):  72-95.  DOI: 10.1007/s10473-025-0106-x Abstract ( 76 )   RICH HTML Save In 1694, Gregory and Newton proposed the problem to determine the kissing number of a rigid material ball. This problem and its higher dimensional generalization have been studied by many mathematicians, including Minkowski, van der Waerden, Hadwiger, Swinnerton-Dyer, Watson, Levenshtein, Odlyzko, Sloane and Musin. In this paper, we introduce and study a further generalization of the kissing numbers for convex bodies and obtain some exact results, in particular for balls in dimensions three, four and eight.

NOTE ON PROJECTION BODIES OF ZONOTOPES WITH ${n+1}$ GENERATORS Martin Henk Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2025, 45 (1):  96-103.  DOI: 10.1007/s10473-025-0107-9 Abstract ( 72 )   RICH HTML Save We show that the volume of the projection body $\Pi(Z)$ of an $n$-dimensional zonotope $Z$ with $n+1$ generators and of volume $1$ is always exactly $2^n$. Moroever, we point out that an upper bound on the volume of $\Pi(K)$ of a centrally symmetric $n$-dimensional convex body of volume $1$ is at least $2^n (9/8)^{\lfloor n/3\rfloor}$.

MODIFIED BRASCAMP-LIEB INEQUALITIES AND LOG-SOBOLEV INEQUALITIES FOR ONE-DIMENSIONAL LOG-CONCAVE MEASURE Denghui Wu, Jiazu Zhou Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2025, 45 (1):  104-117.  DOI: 10.1007/s10473-025-0108-8 Abstract ( 68 )   RICH HTML Save In this paper, we develop Maurey's and Bobkov-Ledoux's methods to prove modified Brascamp-Lieb inequalities and log-Sobolev inequalities for one-dimensional log-concave measure. To prove these inequalities, the harmonic Prékopa-Leindler inequality is used. We prove that these new inequalities are more efficient in estimating the variance and entropy for some functions with exponential terms. References | Related Articles | Metrics

RECONSTRUCTION PROBLEMS OF CONVEX BODIES FROM EVEN $ {L_p}$ SURFACE AREA MEASURES Juewei Hu, Gangsong Leng Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2025, 45 (1):  126-142.  DOI: 10.1007/s10473-025-0110-1 Abstract ( 59 )   RICH HTML Save We build a computer program to reconstruct convex bodies using even $L_p$ surface area measures for $p\geq 1.$ Firstly, we transform the minimization problem $\mathcal{P}_1$, which is equivalent to solving the even $L_p$ Minkowski problem, into a convex optimization problem $\mathcal{P}_4$ with a finite number of constraints. This transformation makes it suitable for computational resolution. Then, we prove that the approximate solutions obtained by solving the problem $\mathcal{P}_4$ converge to the theoretical solution when $N$ and $k$ are sufficiently large. Finally, based on the convex optimization problem $\mathcal{P}_4$, we provide an algorithm for reconstructing convex bodies from even $L_p$ surface area measures, and present several examples implemented using MATLAB.

LOG-CONCAVITY OF THE FIRST DIRICHLET EIGENFUNCTION OF SOME ELLIPTIC DIFFERENTIAL OPERATORS AND CONVEXITY INEQUALITIES FOR THE RELEVANT EIGENVALUE Andrea Colesanti Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2025, 45 (1):  143-152.  DOI: 10.1007/s10473-025-0111-0 Abstract ( 61 )   RICH HTML Save Given an open bounded subset $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ we consider the eigenvalue problem $\begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{lll} \Delta u-\langle\nabla u,\nabla V\rangle=-\lambda_V u,\quad u>0\quad&\mbox{in $\Omega$,}\\ u=0\quad&\mbox{on $\partial\Omega$,} \end{array} \right. \end{equation*}$ where $V$ is a given function defined in $\Omega$ and $\lambda_V$ is the relevant eigenvalue. We determine sufficient conditions on $V$ such that if $\Omega$ is convex, the solution $u$ is log-concave. We also determine sufficient conditions ensuring that $\lambda_V$, as a function of the set $\Omega$, verifies a convexity inequality with respect to the Minkowski addition of sets.

KINEMATIC AND CROFTON FORMULAS FOR LINEAR GROUPS Ralph Howard Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2025, 45 (1):  153-160.  DOI: 10.1007/s10473-025-0112-z Abstract ( 50 )   RICH HTML Save Let $G_q\mathbb{R}^{n})$ be the Grassmannian of all linear $q$ dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ and $I$ an integral invariant of $p+q-n$ dimensional submanifolds of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. Then we give methods of evaluating Crofton type integral $ \int_{G_q(\mathbb{R}^{n})} I(M\cap L)\,{\rm d}L. $ The methods also work for various generalizations of $G_q(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ such as complex Grassmannians.

First, we give a direct proof of the Cramer-Rao inequality for convex bodies. Second, we prove that origin-centered ellipsoids are the only convex bodies with identical Löwner and Legendre ellipsoids. Finally, we establish a mean width inequality for convex bodies whose LYZ ellipsoids are the Euclidean unit ball. References | Related Articles | Metrics

ON THE GAUSSIAN KINEMATIC FORMULA OF R. ADLER AND J. TAYLOR Joseph H.G. Fu Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2025, 45 (1):  200-214.  DOI: 10.1007/s10473-025-0116-8 Abstract ( 55 )   RICH HTML Save We apply methods of algebraic integral geometry to prove a special case of the Gaussian kinematic formula of Adler-Taylor. The idea, suggested already by Adler and Taylor, is to view the GKF as the limit of spherical kinematic formulas for spheres of large dimension $N$ and curvature $\frac 1 N$.

STABILITY OF THE ISOPERIMETRIC INEQUALITY IN HYPERBOLIC PLANE Haizhong Li, Yao Wan Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2025, 45 (1):  215-227.  DOI: 10.1007/s10473-025-0117-7 Abstract ( 68 )   RICH HTML Save In this paper, we establish a stability estimate for the isoperimetric inequality of horospherically convex domains in hyperbolic plane. This estimate involves a relationship between the Hausdorff distance to a geodesic ball and the deficit in the isoperimetric inequality, where the coefficient of the deficit is a universal constant.

A SURVEY ON THE ISOPERIMETRIC PROBLEM IN RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS Jiayu Li, Shujing Pan Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2025, 45 (1):  228-236.  DOI: 10.1007/s10473-025-0118-6 Abstract ( 73 )   RICH HTML Save This is a survey of the results in [14] regarding the isoperimetric problem in the Riemannian manifold. We consider a mean curvature type flow in the Riemannian manifold endowed with a non-trivial conformal vector field, which was firstly introduced by Guan and Li [8] in space forms. This flow preserves the volume of the bounded domain enclosed by a star-shaped hypersurface and decreases the area of hypersurface under certain conditions. We will prove the long time existence and convergence of the flow. As a result, the isoperimetric inequality for such a domain is established. References | Related Articles | Metrics

ECHOS OF THE STEINER-LEHMUS EQUAL BISECTORS THEOREM Christoph Börgers, Eric L. Grinberg, Mehmet Orhon, Junhao Shen Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2025, 45 (1):  257-263.  DOI: 10.1007/s10473-025-0120-z Abstract ( 71 )   RICH HTML Save The Steiner-Lehmus equal bisectors theorem originated in the mid 19th century. Despite its age, it would have been accessible to Euclid and his contemporaries. The theorem remains evergreen, with new proofs continuing to appear steadily. The theorem has fostered discussion about the nature of proof itself, direct and indirect. Here we continue the momentum by providing a trigonometric proof, relatively short, based on an analytic estimate that leverages algebraic trigonometric identities. Many proofs of the theorem exist in the literature. Some of these contain key ideas that already appeared in C.L. Lehmus' 1850 proofs, not always with citation. In the aim of increasing awareness of and making more accessible Lehmus' proofs, we provide an annotated translation. We conclude with remarks on different proofs and relations among them.

JERISON-LEE IDENTITIES AND SEMI-LINEAR SUBELLIPTIC EQUATIONS ON HEISENBERG GROUP Xinan Ma, Qianzhong Ou, Tian Wu Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2025, 45 (1):  264-279.  DOI: 10.1007/s10473-025-0121-y Abstract ( 78 )   RICH HTML Save In the study of the extremal for Sobolev inequality on the Heisenberg group and the Cauchy-Riemann(CR) Yamabe problem, Jerison-Lee found a three-dimensional family of differential identities for critical exponent subelliptic equation on Heisenberg group $\mathbb H^n$ by using the computer in [5]. They wanted to know whether there is a theoretical framework that would predict the existence and the structure of such formulae. With the help of dimension conservation and invariant tensors, we can answer the above question. References | Related Articles | Metrics
