Pairs of Convex Bodies with Centrally Symmetric Intersections of Translates
For a pair of convex bodies K and K ′ in Ed , the d-dimensional intersections K ∩ (x + K ′), x ∈ Ed , are centrally symmetric if and only if K and K ′ are represented as direct sums K = R ⊕ P and K ′ = R′ ⊕ P ′ such that: (i) R is a compact convex set of some dimension m, 0 ≤ m ≤ d, and R′ = z − R for a suitable vector z ∈ Ed , (ii) P and P ′ are isothetic parallelotopes, both of dimension d − m.
متن کاملOn Shadow Boundaries of Centrally Symmetric Convex Bodies
We discuss the concept of the so-called shadow boundary belonging to a given direction x of Euclidean n-space R lying in the boundary of a centrally symmetric convex body K. Actually, K can be considered as the unit ball of a finite dimensional normed linear (= Minkowski) space. We introduce the notion of the general parameter spheres of K corresponding to the above direction x and prove that i...
متن کاملIntersections of Dilatates of Convex Bodies
We initiate a systematic investigation into the nature of the function αK (L, ρ) that gives the volume of the intersection of one convex body K in Rn and a dilatate ρL of another convex body L in Rn, as well as the function ηK (L, ρ) that gives the (n − 1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the intersection of K and the boundary ∂(ρL) of ρL. The focus is on the concavity properties of αK (L, ρ). ...
متن کاملMaximal Sections and Centrally Symmetric Bodies
Let d ≥ 2 and let K ⊂ R be a convex body containing the origin 0 in its interior. Let, for each direction ω, the (d − 1)–volume of the intersection of K and an arbitrary hyperplane with normal ω attain its maximum if the hyperplane contains 0. Then K is symmetric about 0. The proof uses a linear integro–differential operator on S, whose null–space needs to be, and will be determined.
متن کاملUPPER BOUNDS FOR THE COVERING NUMBER OF CENTRALLY SYMMETRIC CONVEX BODIES IN Rn
The covering number c(K) of a convex body K is the least number of smaller homothetic copies of K needed to cover K . We provide new upper bounds for c(K) when K is centrally symmetric by introducing and studying the generalized α -blocking number βα 2 (K) of K . It is shown that when a centrally symmetric convex body K is sufficiently close to a centrally symmetric convex body K′ , then c(K) i...
