Extended affine surface area

Inequalities for mixed p - affine surface area ∗

We prove new Alexandrov-Fenchel type inequalities and new affine isoperimetric inequalities for mixed p-affine surface areas. We introduce a new class of bodies, the illumination surface bodies, and establish some of their properties. We show, for instance, that they are not necessarily convex. We give geometric interpretations of Lp affine surface areas, mixed p-affine surface areas and other ...

Random Polytopes and Affine Surface Area

Let K be a convex body in R. A random polytope is the convex hull [x1, ..., xn] of finitely many points chosen at random in K. E(K,n) is the expectation of the volume of a random polytope of n randomly chosen points. I. Bárány showed that we have for convex bodies with C3 boundary and everywhere positive curvature c(d) lim n→∞ vold(K)− E(K,n) ( vold(K) n ) 2 d+1 = ∫ ∂K κ(x) 1 d+1 dμ(x) where κ(...

A Characterization of Affine Surface Area

We show that every upper semicontinuous and equi-affine invariant valuation on the space of d-dimensional convex bodies is a linear combination of affine surface area, volume and the Euler characteristic. 1991 AMS subject classification: Primary 52A20; Secondary 53A15.

Affine surface area and convex bodies of elliptic type

If a convex body K in R is contained in a convex body L of elliptic type (a curvature image), then it is known that the affine surface area of K is not larger than the affine surface area of L. We prove that the affine surface areas of K and L can only be equal if K = L. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: primary 52A10; secondary 53A15
