On the Minkowski deficit for surfaces of revolution

By studying the classical Minkowski's inequality, $4πA\leq M^{2}$, relating area and mean curvature, in the particular case of convex surfaces of revolution, one is led to a functional inequality that holds for general functions. We state and prove this inequality obtaining a new proof of Minkowski's inequality in this particular case and we establish a sharp inequality between the Minkowski deficit of the surface and the isoperimetric deficit of any meridian curve.

On some relations between the Perimeter, the Area and the Visual Angle of a Convex Set

We establish some relations between the perimeter, the area and the visual angle of a planar compact convex set. Our first result states that Crofton's formula is the unique universal formula relating the visual angle, length and area. After that we give a characterization of convex sets of constant width by means of the behaviour of its isotopic sets at infinity. Also for this class of convex sets we prove that the existence of an isotopic circle is enough to ensure that the considered set is a disc.

A historical review of the Cauchy-Riemann equations and the Cauchy Theorem

In this article we take a historical tour through the Cauchy-Riemann equations and their relationship with Cauchy's theorem on the independence with respect to the path of the integral of a holomorphic function. Because of its importance we do a detailed and updated study of the contributions of d'Alembert and Euler to these topics. We also review the Cauchy works about the passage from the real to imaginary by paying attention to some arguments he uses that are not clear enough. At the end we comment briefly the evolution of Green's formula and its relation with the above problems.

Integral Geometry of pairs of planes

We deal with integrals of invariant measures of pairs of planes in euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^3$ as considered by Hug and Schneider. In this paper we express some of these integrals in terms of functions of the visual angle of a convex set. As a consequence of our results we evaluate the deficit in a Crofton-type inequality due to Blashcke.

Integral Geometry about the visual angle of a convex set

In this paper we deal with a general type of integral formulas of the visual angle, among them those of Crofton, Hurwitz and Masotti, from the point of view of Integral Geometry. The purpose is twofold: to provide an interpretation of these formulas in terms of integrals of densities with respect to the canonical measure in the space of pairs of lines and to give new simpler proofs of them.

A discrete approach to Wirtinger's inequality

Considering Wirtinger's inequality for piece-wise equipartite functions we find a discrete version of this classical inequality. The main tool we use is the theorem of classification of isometries. Our approach provides a new elementary proof of Wirtinger's inequality that also allows to study the case of equality. Moreover it leads in a natural way to the Fourier series development of $2π$-periodic functions.

A note on Hurwitz's inequality

Given a simple closed plane curve $Γ$ of length $L$ enclosing a compact convex set $K$ of area $F$, Hurwitz found an upper bound for the isoperimetric deficit, namely $L^2-4πF\leq π|F_{e}|$, where $F_{e}$ is the algebraic area enclosed by the evolute of $Γ$. In this note we improve this inequality finding strictly positive lower bounds for the deficit $π|F_{e}|-Δ$, where $Δ=L^{2}-4πF$. These bounds involve wether the visual angle of $Γ$ or the pedal curve associated to $K$ with respect to the Steiner point of $K$ or the $\mathcal{L}^{2}$ distance between $K$ and the Steiner disk of $K$. For each established inequality we study when equality holds. This occurs for those compact convex sets being bounded by a curve parallel to an hypocycloid of $3, 4$ or $5$ cusps or the Minkowski sum of this kind of sets.

A lower bound for the isoperimetric deficit

In this paper we provide a Bonnesen-style inequality which gives a lower bound for the isoperimetric deficit corresponding to a closed convex curve in terms of some geometrical invariants of this curve. Moreover we give a geometrical interpretation for the case when equality holds.
