Disks with Special Properties of Densest Packings.
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...
We show that the affine surface area as(∂K) of a convex body K in can be computed as where is a constant and is the illumination body.
All continuous Minkowski valuations which are compatible with the special linear group are completely classified. One consequence of these classifications is a new characterization of the projection body operator.
