Some intrinsic properties of h-Randers conformal change

Abstract

In the present paper we have considered h-Randers conformal change of a Finsler metric $ L $, which is defined as \begin{center}$ L(x,y)\rightarrow \bar{L}(x, y)=e^{\sigma(x)}L(x, y)+\beta (x, y), \end{center} where $ \sigma(x) $ is a function of x, $\beta(x, y) = b_{i}(x, y)y^{i}$ is a 1- form on $M^{n}$ and $b_{i}$ satisfies the condition of being an h-vector. We have obtained the expressions for geodesic spray coefficients under this change. Further we have studied some special Finsler spaces namely quasi-C-reducible, C-reducible, S3-like and S4-like Finsler spaces arising from this metric. We have also obtained the condition under which this change of metric leads a Berwald (or a Landsberg) space into a space of the same kind.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
