A New Ellipsoid Associated with Convex Bodies
Corresponding to each origin-symmetric convex (or more general) subset of Euclidean n-space R, there is a unique ellipsoid with the following property: The moment of inertia of the ellipsoid and the moment of inertia of the convex set are the same about every 1-dimensional subspace ofR. This ellipsoid is called the Legendre ellipsoid of the convex set. The Legendre ellipsoid and its polar (the ...
متن کاملThe Cross-section Body, Plane Sections of Convex Bodies and Approximation of Convex Bodies, Ii*
We compare the volumes of projections of convex bodies and the volumes of the projections of their sections, and, dually, those of sections of convex bodies and of sections of their circumscribed cylinders. For L ⊂ R a convex body, we take n random segments in L and consider their ‘Minkowski average’ D. For fixed n, the pth moments of V (D) (1 ≤ p < ∞) are minimized, for V (L) fixed, by the ell...
متن کاملConvex-Bodies with Similar Projections
By examining an example constructed by Petty and McKinney, we show that there are pairs of centered and coaxial bodies of revolution in Ed, d > 3, whose projections onto each two-dimensional subspace are similar, but which are not themselves even affinely equivalent.
متن کاملCovering space with convex bodies
1. A few years ago Rogers [1] showed that, if K is any convex body in n-dimensional Euclidian space, there is a covering of the whole space by translates of K with density less than nlogn+nloglogn+5n, provided n > 3. However the fact that the covering density is reasonably small does not imply that the maximum multiplicity is also small. In the natural covering of space by closed cubes, the den...
متن کاملVolume Inequalities for Sets Associated with Convex Bodies
This paper deals with inequalities for the volume of a convex body and the volume of the projection body, the L-centroid body, and their polars. Examples are the Blaschke-Santaló inequality, the Petty and Zhang projection inequalities, the Busemann-Petty inequality. Other inequalities of the same type are still at the stage of conjectures. The use of special continuous movements of convex bodie...
