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.

Characterizing abelian admissible groups

By definition, admissible matrix groups are those that give rise to a wavelet-type inversion formula. This paper investigates necessary and sufficient admissibility conditions for abelian matrix groups. We start out by deriving a block diagonalization result for commuting real valued matrices. We then reduce the question of deciding admissibility to the subclass of connected and simply connected groups, and derive a general admissibility criterion for exponential solvable matrix groups. For abelian matrix groups with real spectra, this yields an easily checked necessary and sufficient characterization of admissibility. As an application, we sketch a procedure how to check admissibility of a matrix group generated by finitely many commuting matrices with positive spectra.

Poisson type generators for L^1(R)

We characterize the discrete sets L of the real line such that {f(t-l), l in L} span L^1(R), f being an L^1(R)-function whose Fourier transform behaves like the one of the Poisson function.

Model spaces results for the Gabor and Wavelet transforms

We prove that the unique Gabor atom with analytical model space is the Gaussian function. We give an analogous result for the wavelet transform. For the general case we give a new approach to study the irregular Gabor and wavelet frames. We improve some results for Gabor atoms in the Feichtinger algebra, and for a special class of wavelets.

L^p estimates for Riesz transforms on forms in the Poincare space H^n

Using hyperbolic form convolution with doubly isometry-invariant kernels, the explicit expression of the inverse of the de Rham laplacian acting on m-forms in the Poincaré space is found. Also, by means of some estimates for hyperbolic singular integrals, we obtain L^p-estimates for the Riesz transforms passing from the Laplacian to other covariant derivatives, in a range of p depending on m,n. Finally, using these, it is shown that the Laplacian defines topological isomorphisms in the scale of form Sobolev spaces, for m different from n/2,(n+1)/2,(n-1)/2.

Completeness in $L^1(R)$ of discrete translates

We characterize, in terms of the Beurling-Malliavin density, the discrete spectra $Λ\subset\R$ for which a generator exists, that is a function $ϕ\in L^1(\R)$ such that its $Λ$-translates $ϕ(x-λ), λ\inΛ$, span $L^1(\R)$. It is shown that these spectra coincide with the uniqueness sets for certain analytic classes. We also present examples of discrete spectra $Λ\subset\R$ which do not admit a single generator while they admit a pair of generators.
