Abstract

This paper is devoted to the relationships and properties of the endograph metric and the $Γ$-convergence. The main contents can be divided into three closely related parts. Firstly, on the class of upper semi-continuous fuzzy sets with bounded $α$-cuts, we find that an endograph metric convergent sequence is exactly a $Γ$-convergent sequence satisfying the condition that the union of $α$-cuts of all its elements is a bounded set in $\mathbb{R}^m$ for each $α> 0$. Secondly, based on investigations of level characterizations of fuzzy sets themselves, we present level characterizations (level decomposition properties) of the endograph metric and the $Γ$-convergence. It is worth mentioning that, using the condition and the level characterizations given above, we discover the fact: the endograph metric and the $Γ$-convergence are compatible on a large class of general fuzzy sets which do not have any assumptions of normality, convexity or star-shapedness. Its subsets include common particular fuzzy sets such as fuzzy numbers (compact and noncompact), fuzzy star-shaped numbers (compact and noncompact), and general fuzzy star-shaped numbers (compact and noncompact). Thirdly, on the basis of the conclusions presented above, we study various subspaces of the space of upper semi-continuous fuzzy sets with bounded $α$-cuts equipped with the endograph metric. We present characterizations of total boundedness, relative compactness and compactness in these fuzzy set spaces and clarify relationships among these fuzzy set spaces. It is pointed out that the fuzzy set spaces of noncompact type are exactly the completions of their compact counterparts under the endograph metric.

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.
