Hellmuth Kneser (1898.04.16, Tartu (Dortpart), Estonia - 1973.08.23, Tubingen) is Estonian and German mathematician. [3]

Biography

Since 1916, education at Wroclaw University

Since 1921, work with Dufit Hilbert on foundation of quantum mechanics ("Untersuchungen zur Quantentheorie")

Since 1944, work at the Mathematical Research Institute of Oberwolfach

at 1954, president of the German Mathematical Society.

Kneser-Suss inequality

In 1932, Kneser and Wilhelm Suss suggest the Kneser-Suss unequality [4][5][6]:

In the convex geometry setting, let \( K, L ∈ \mathfrak{K}^n\) be convex bodies, and let \(M\) be the convex body satisfying

\( S(M^{n−1};·) = S(K^{n−1};·) + S(L^{n−1};·) \)

Then

\( \mathrm{vol}(M)^{n-1/n} \ge \mathrm{vol}(K)^{n-1/n} + \mathrm{vol}(L)^{n-1/n} \)

Tetration

In 1950, Kneser publishes paper [8] entitled

Reelle analytische Lösungen der Gleichung \( \varphi(\varphi(x))=\mathrm e^x \) und verwandter Funktionalgleichungen.

There, the need to construct superfunction of exponential, id est, tetration, is formulated.

Tetration to base \( b\) appears as holomorphic solution \( F= \mathrm{tet}_b \)

of the Transfer equation \( F(z+1) = b^{F(z)} \)

with additional condition \( F(0)=1 \)

and certain behaviors at infinity (approaching the fixed point(s) of \( \exp_b \) at \( \pm \mathrm i\infty \) ). These conditions are necessary for the uniqueness of the solution.

Then, during a half-century, various approaches to evaluation of tetration had been reported.

Since 2009, the efficient algorithms for evaluation of tetration to various values of base (and the corresponding complex maps) are available. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]

With tetration \( F=\mathrm{tet} \)

and the inverse function \( G=F^{-1} \), id est, arctetration \( G=\mathrm{ate} \) ,

the function \( \varphi \), mentioned in the original title by Kneser, can be expressed as follows:

\( \varphi(x)= F(1/2+G(x)) \)

Complex map of function \( \varphi \) (metioned in the title of paper [8] is shown in figure at right.
This map is right hand side of figure 4 (or figure 5) of publication [17]

Motivated by a long-standing conjecture of Po ́lya and Szego ̈ about the Newtonian capacity of convex bodies, we discuss the role of concavity inequalities in shape optimization, and we provide several counterexamples to the Blaschke-concavity of variational functionals, including capacity. We then introduce a new algebraic structure on convex bodies, which allows to obtain global concavity and indecomposability results, and we discuss their application to isoperimetric- like inequalities. As a byproduct of this approach we also obtain a quantitative version of the Kneser-Su ̈ss inequality. Finally, for a large class of functionals involving Dirichlet energies and the surface measure, we perform a local analysis of strictly convex portions of the boundary via second order shape derivatives. This allows in particular to exclude the presence of smooth regions with positive Gauss curvature in an optimal shape for Po ́lya-Szego ̈ problem.

We present several analogies between convex geometry and the theory of holomorphic line bundles on smooth projective varieties or Ka ̈hler manifolds. We study the relation between positive products and mixed volumes. We define and study a Blaschke addition for divisor classes and mixed divisor classes, and prove new geometric inequalities for divisor classes. We also reinterpret several classical convex geometry results in the context of algebraic geometry: the Alexandrov body construc- tion is the convex geometry version of divisorial Zariski decomposition; Minkowski’s existence theorem is the convex geometry version of the duality between the pseudo-effective cone of divisors and the movable cone of curves. // .. 7.1.

Obwohl von Faber einen neuen Berufungsvorschlag in Aussicht gestellt hatte, kam es vorerst nicht dazu. Der Grund war wiederum, wie das Kultusministerium dem Reichsministerium auf Anfrage vom 22. Januar 1941 mitteilte, daß sich Fakultät und Dozentenschaft nicht einigen konnten [BayHStA, 12.2.1941]. Am 24. Januar benannten die Münchener Mathematiker einige Personen, "die zwar den früher Genannten an wissenschaftlicher Bedeutung nicht gleichkommen, jedoch für ein Ordinariat an der Universität München in Betracht kommen können." Dabei handelte es sich um Heinrich Behnke (geboren 1898, 1927 o. Professor in Münster/Westfalen), der "einer der besten Kenner der Theorie der analytischen Funktionen von mehreren Veränderlichen" sei und zudem "einer der erfolgreichsten Lehrer, die wir in Deutschland haben ..."; Hellmuth Kneser (1898 geboren, 1925 o. Professor in Greifswald, 1937 in Tübingen), "ein vielseitiger, tief veranlagter Forscher", dessen Arbeiten zur Theorie der Funktionen mehrerer komplexer Veränderlicher besonders zu erwähnen seien; Franz Rellich (1906 geboren, 1942 o. Professor in Dresden), ein "ideen- und erfolgreicher Forscher, von dem gewiß noch manche wertvolle Bereicherung der Wissenschaft zu erwarten ist"; und schließlich Herbert Seifert (geboren 1907, 1935 Vertretung einer Professur in Heidelberg, 1937 o. Professor Heidelberg), dessen topologische Arbeiten ihn für den Münchener Lehrstuhl in Frage kommen ließen [UAM, NC].
