Abstract

In Chapter 8 of the Book, ``Graphs and Networks: Transfinite and Nonstandard'' (published by Birkhauser-Boston in 2004), nonstandard versions of transfinite graphs and of electrical networks having such graphs were defined and examined but only for the first two ranks, 0 and 1, of transfiniteness. In the present work, these results are extended to higher ranks of transfinteness. Such is done in detail for the natural-number ranks and also for the first transfinite ordinal rank. Results for still higher ranks of transfiniteness can be established in much the same way. Once the transfinite graphs of higher ranks are established, theorems concerning the existence of hyperreal operating points and the satisfaction of Kirchhoff's laws in nonstandard networks of higher ranks can be proven just as they are for nonstandard networks of the first rank.

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.
