Reflections of planar convex bodies

نویسنده

  • Rolf Schneider
چکیده

It is proved that every convex body in the plane has a point such that the union of the body and its image under reflection in the point is convex. If the body is not centrally symmetric, then it has, in fact, three affinely independent points with this property.

Retrieving Convex Bodies from Restricted Covariogram Functions

The covariogram gK(x) of a convex body K ⊆ E is the function which associates to each x ∈ E the volume of the intersection of K with K+x. Matheron [Mat86] asked whether gK determines K, up to translations and reflections in a point. Positive answers to Matheron’s question have been obtained for large classes of planar convex bodies, while for d ≥ 3 there are both positive and negative results. ...

Confirmation of Matheron’s Conjecture on the Covariogram of a Planar Convex Body

The covariogram gK of a convex body K in E d is the function which associates to each x ∈ E d the volume of the intersection of K with K + x. In 1986 G. Matheron conjectured that for d = 2 the covariogram gK determines K within the class of all planar convex bodies, up to translations and reflections in a point. This problem is equivalent to some problems in stochastic geometry and probability ...

On Boundary Arcs Joining Antipodal Points of a Planar Convex Body

Using notions of Minkowski geometry (i.e., of the geometry of finite dimensional Banach spaces) we find new characterizations of centrally symmetric convex bodies, equiframed curves, bodies of constant width and certain convex bodies with modified constant width property. In particular, we show that straightforward extensions of some properties of bodies of constant Euclidean width are also val...
