Given two disjoint convex polyhedra, we look for a best approximation pair relative to them, i.e., a pair of points, one in each polyhedron, attaining the minimum distance between the sets. Cheney and Goldstein showed that alternating projections onto the two sets, starting from an arbitrary point, generate a sequence whose two interlaced subsequences converge … Read more
Kalai and Kleitman established the bound $n^{\log(d) + 2}$ for the diameter of a $d$-dimensional polyhedron with $n$ facets. Here we improve the bound slightly to $(n-d)^{\log(d)}$.

This paper is a contribution to the interval analysis and separability of convex sets. Separation is a familiar principle and is often used not only in optimization theory, but in many economic applications as well. In real problems input data are usually not known exactly. For the purpose of this paper we assume that data … Read more
