A comprehensive analysis of the Snellius-Pothenot problem

It is known that a point in three-dimensional Euclidean space whose coordinates are equal to the cosines of the angles $\angle BDC, \angle ADC, \angle ADB$, where the point $D$ lies in the plane of a given triangle $ABC$, lies on the surface $\mathbb{BP}\subset [-1,1]^3$, given by the equation $1+2x_1x_2x_3-x_1^2-x_2^2-x_3^2 = 0$. It should be emphasized that the set of corresponding points essentially depends on the shape of triangle $ABC$. In this paper, we solve the following problem: For a fixed triangle $ABC$, for each point $U \in \mathbb{BP}$, determine the number of points $D$ from the plane of the triangle with the condition $U=(\cos \angle BDC, \cos \angle ADC, \cos \angle ADB)$. The problem of determining such points $D$ is known as the Snellius-Pothenot problem.

Geodesic orbit pseudo-Riemannian H-type nilmanifolds: case of minimal admissible Clifford modules

We investigate the geodesic orbit property of pseudo-Riemannian nilmanifolds, specifically those known in the literature as pseudo $H$-type Lie groups -- i.e., 2-step nilpotent Lie groups of Heisenberg type equipped with a left invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric. The study of homogeneous geodesics on Riemannian $H$-type Lie groups was completed by C.~Riehm in 1984. In this work, we extend these results to the pseudo-Riemannian $H$-type Lie groups and provide a complete characterization of the geodesic orbit property for the case where the underlying Lie algebras are constructed from the admissible Clifford modules of minimal dimension.

Properties of a curve whose convex hull covers a given convex body

In this note, we prove the following inequality for the norm of a convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$: $N(K) \leq \frac{\pi^{\frac{n-1}{2}}}{2 \Gamma \left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)}\cdot \operatorname{length} (\gamma) + \frac{\pi^{\frac{n}{2}-1}}{\Gamma \left(\frac{n}{2}\right)} \cdot \operatorname{diam}(K)$, where $\operatorname{diam}(K)$ is the diameter of $K$, $\gamma$ is any curve in $\mathbb{R}^n$ whose convex hull covers $K$, and $\Gamma$ is the gamma function. If in addition $K$ has constant width $\Theta$, then we get the inequality $\operatorname{length} (\gamma) \geq \frac{2(\pi-1)\Gamma \left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)}{\sqrt{\pi}\,\Gamma \left(\frac{n}{2}\right)}\cdot \Theta \geq 2(\pi-1) \cdot \sqrt{\frac{n-1}{2\pi}}\cdot \Theta$. In addition, we pose several unsolved problems.

Extreme problems for convex curves with given relative Chebyshev radius

The paper is devoted to some extremal problems for convex curves and polygons in the Euclidean plane referring to the relative Chebyshev radius. In particular, we determine the relative Chebyshev radius for an arbitrary triangle. Moreover, we derive the maximal possible perimeter for convex curves and convex n-gons of a given relative Chebyshev radius.
