On convex bodies of constant width
Abstract We present an alternative proof of the following fact: the hyperspace of compact closed subsets of constant width in R n is a contractible Hilbert cube manifold. The proof also works for certain subspaces of compact convex sets of constant width as well as for the pairs of compact convex sets of constant relative width. Besides, it is proved that the projection map of compact closed subsets of constant width is not 0-soft in the sense of Shchepin, in particular, is not open.

Inhomogeneous Boundary Value Problems for Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations: Well-Posedness and Sensitivity Analysis
In this paper compressible, stationary Navier–Stokes equations are considered. A framework for analysis of such equations is established. In particular, the well-posedness for inhomogeneous boundary value problems of elliptic-hyperbolic type is shown. Analysis is performed for small perturbations of the so-called approximate solutions that take form (1.12). The approximate solutions are determined from Stokes problem (1.11). The small perturbations are given by solutions to (1.13). The uniqueness of solutions for problem (1.13) is proved, and, in addition, the differentiability of solutions with respect to the coefficients of differential operators is shown. The results on the well-posedness of nonlinear problems are interesting on their own and are used to obtain the shape differentiability of the drag functional for incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. The shape gradient of the drag functional is derived in the classical and useful for computations form; an appropriate adjoint state is introduced to ...
