We extend the recent work of Reis and Rothvoss on sparsifying sums of $\ell_1$ norms to the more general task of sparsifying (Minkowski) sums of centrally symmetric, convex sets. As our main result, we prove that for any $\varepsilon > 0$ and centrally symmetric, convex sets $C_1, \ldots, C_m\subseteq\mathbb R^n$ ... more >>>

We give tight bounds on the degree $\ell$ homogenous parts $f_\ell$ of a bounded function $f$ on the cube. We show that if $f: \{\pm 1\}^n \rightarrow [-1,1]$ has degree $d$, then $\| f_\ell \|_\infty$ is bounded by $d^\ell/\ell!$, and $\| \hat{f}_\ell \|_1$ is bounded by $d^\ell e^{{\ell+1 \choose 2}} ... more >>>
