A measure of axial symmetry of centrally symmetric convex bodies

Marek Lassak, Monika Nowicka (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Denote by Kₘ the mirror image of a planar convex body K in a straight line m. It is easy to show that K*ₘ = conv(K ∪ Kₘ) is the smallest by inclusion convex body whose axis of symmetry is m and which contains K. The ratio axs(K) of the area of K to the minimum area of K*ₘ over all straight lines m is a measure of axial symmetry of K. We prove that axs(K) > 1/2√2 for every centrally symmetric convex body and that this estimate cannot be improved in general. We also give a formula for...

The skeleta of convex bodies

The connectivity and measure theoretic properties of the skeleta of convex bodies in Euclidean space are discussed, together with some long standing problems and recent results.

The determination of convex bodies from the size and shape of their projections and sections

Paul Goodey (2009)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We survey results concerning the extent to which information about a convex body's projections or sections determine that body. We will see that, if the body is known to be centrally symmetric, then it is determined by the size of its projections. However, without the symmetry condition, knowledge of the average shape of projections or sections often determines the body. Rather surprisingly, the dimension of the projections or sections plays a key role and exceptional cases do occur...

Zonoids with an equatorial characterization

Rafik Aramyan (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

It is known that a local equatorial characterization of zonoids does not exist. The question arises: Is there a subclass of zonoids admitting a local equatorial characterization. In this article a sufficient condition is found for a centrally symmetric convex body to be a zonoid. The condition has a local equatorial description. Using the condition one can define a subclass of zonoids admitting a local equatorial characterization. It is also proved that a convex body whose boundary is...
