Uniqueness results for the Minkowski problem extended to hedgehogs

Yves Martinez-Maure — 2012

Open Mathematics

The classical Minkowski problem has a natural extension to hedgehogs, that is to Minkowski differences of closed convex hypersurfaces. This extended Minkowski problem is much more difficult since it essentially boils down to the question of solutions of certain Monge-Ampère equations of mixed type on the unit sphere 𝕊 n of ℝn+1. In this paper, we mainly consider the uniqueness question and give first results.

Étude des différences de corps convexes plans

Yves Martinez-Maure — 1999

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We characterize the linear space ℋ of differences of support functions of convex bodies of 𝔼² and we consider every h ∈ ℋ as the support function of a generalized hedgehog (a rectifiable closed curve having exactly one oriented support line in each direction). The mixed area (for plane convex bodies identified with their support functions) has a symmetric bilinear extension to ℋ which can be interpreted as a mixed area for generalized hedgehogs. We study generalized hedgehogs and we extend the...

Indice d'un hérisson: étude et applications.

Yves Martínez-Maure — 2000

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Hedgehogs are a natural generalization of convex bodies of class C+ 2. After recalling some basic facts concerning this generalization, we use the notion of index to study differential and integral geometries of hedgehogs. As applications, we prove a particular case of the Tennis Ball Theorem and a property of normals to a plane convex body of constant width.
