Abstract In 1993, E. Lutwak established a minimax inequality for inscribed cones of origin symmetric convex bodies. In this work, we re-prove Lutwak’s result using a maxmin inequality for circumscribed cylinders. Furthermore, we explore connections between the maximum volume of inscribed double cones of a centered convex body and the minimum volume of circumscribed cylinders of its polar body.

Abstract Williamson’s theorem states that for any $2n \times 2n$ real positive definite matrix A, there exists a $2n \times 2n$ real symplectic matrix S such that $S^TAS=D \oplus D$ , where D is an $n\times n$ diagonal matrix with positive diagonal entries known as the symplectic eigenvalues of A. Let H be any $2n \times 2n$ real symmetric matrix such that the perturbed matrix $A+H$ is also positive definite. In this paper, we show that any symplectic matrix $\tilde {S}$ diagonalizing $A+H$ in Williamson’s theorem is of the form $\tilde {S}=S Q+\mathcal {O}(\|H\|)$ , where Q is a $2n \times 2n$ real symplectic as well as orthogonal matrix. Moreover, Q is in symplectic block diagonal form with the block sizes given by twice the multiplicities of the symplectic eigenvalues of A. Consequently, we show that $\tilde {S}$ and S can be chosen so that $\|\tilde {S}-S\|=\mathcal {O}(\|H\|)$ . Our results hold even if A has repeated symplectic eigenvalues. This generalizes the stability result of symplectic matrices for non-repeated symplectic eigenvalues given by Idel, Gaona, and Wolf [Linear Algebra Appl., 525:45–58, 2017].

Abstract In this paper, we solved an open problem raised by Cecil and Ryan (2015, Geometry of Hypersurfaces, Springer Monographs in Mathematics, Springer, New York, p. 531) by proving the nonexistence of non-Hopf Ricci-semisymmetric real hypersurfaces in $\mathbb {C}P^{2}$ and $\mathbb {C}H^{2}$ .

Abstract The celebrated Erdős–Ko–Rado (EKR) theorem for Paley graphs of square order states that all maximum cliques are canonical in the sense that each maximum clique arises from the subfield construction. Recently, Asgarli and Yip extended this result to Peisert graphs and other Cayley graphs which are Peisert-type graphs with nice algebraic properties on the connection set. On the other hand, there are Peisert-type graphs for which the EKR theorem fails to hold. In this article, we show that the EKR theorem of Paley graphs extends to almost all pseudo-Paley graphs of Peisert-type. Furthermore, we establish the stability results of the same flavor.

Abstract We first introduce the concept of weak random periodic solutions of random dynamical systems. Then, we discuss the existence of such periodic solutions. Further, we introduce the definition of weak random periodic measures and study their relationship with weak random periodic solutions. In particular, we establish the existence of invariant measures of random dynamical systems by virtue of their weak random periodic solutions. We use concrete examples to illustrate the weak random periodic phenomena of dynamical systems induced by random and stochastic differential equations.

Abstract On all Bergman–Besov Hilbert spaces on the unit disk, we find self-adjoint weighted shift operators that are differential operators of half-order whose commutators are the identity, thereby obtaining uncertainty relations in these spaces. We also obtain joint average uncertainty relations for pairs of commuting tuples of operators on the same spaces defined on the unit ball. We further identify functions that yield equality in some uncertainty inequalities.
