The Convex Hull of a Typical Compact Set.
We describe some known metrics in the family of convex sets which are stronger than the Hausdorff metric and propose a new one. These stronger metrics preserve in some sense the facial structure of convex sets under small changes of sets.
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 but appear to...
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.
