Illumination bodies and affine surface area

Elisabeth Werner (1994)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We show that the affine surface area as(∂K) of a convex body K in n can be computed as a s ( K ) = l i m δ 0 d n ( v o l n ( K δ ) - v o l n ( K ) ) / ( δ 2 / ( n + 1 ) ) where d n is a constant and K δ is the illumination body.

A general geometric construction for affine surface area

Elisabeth Werner (1999)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let K be a convex body in n and B be the Euclidean unit ball in n . We show that l i m t 0 ( | K | - | K t | ) / ( | B | - | B t | ) = a s ( K ) / a s ( B ) , where as(K) respectively as(B) is the affine surface area of K respectively B and K t t 0 , B t t 0 are general families of convex bodies constructed from K,B satisfying certain conditions. As a corollary we get results obtained in [M-W], [Schm], [S-W] and [W].
