OnLp-Affine Surface Area and Curvature Measures

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(...

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 ...

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.

Surface Area and Other Measures of Ellipsoids

A. We begin by studying the surface area of an ellipsoid in E as the function of the lengths of the semi-axes. We write down an explicit formula as an integral over Sn−1, use this formula to derive convexity properties of the surface area, to give sharp estimates for the surface area of a large-dimensional ellipsoid, to produce asymptotic formulas for the surface area and the isoperimetr...
