چکیده
A description of continuous rigid motion compatible Minkowski valuations is established. As an application we present a Brunn–Minkowski type inequality for intrinsic volumes of these valuations.

Integral Geometry of Tensor Valuations
We prove a complete set of integral geometric formulas of Crofton type (involving integrations over affine Grassmannians) for the Minkowski tensors of convex bodies. Minkowski tensors are the natural tensor valued valuations generalizing the intrinsic volumes (or Minkowski functionals) of convex bodies. By Hadwiger’s general integral geometric theorem, the Crofton formulas yield also kinematic ...
متن کاملLocal tensor valuations
The local Minkowski tensors are valuations on the space of convex bodies in Euclidean space with values in a space of tensor measures. They generalize at the same time the intrinsic volumes, the curvature measures and the isometry covariant Minkowski tensors that were introduced by McMullen and characterized by Alesker. In analogy to the characterization theorems of Hadwiger and Alesker, we giv...
متن کاملTensor Valuations and Their Local Versions
The intrinsic volumes, recalled in the previous chapter, provide an array of size measurements for a convex body, one for each integer degree of homogeneity from 0 to n. For measurements and descriptions of other aspects, such as position, moments of the volume and of other size functionals, or anisotropy, tensor-valued functionals on convex bodies are useful. The classical approach leading to ...
متن کاملExtended morphometric analysis of neuronal cells with Minkowski valuations
Minkowski valuations provide a systematic framework for quantifying different aspects of morphology. In this paper we apply vector- and tensor-valued Minkowski valuations to neuronal cells from the cat's retina in order to describe their morphological structure in a comprehensive way. We introduce the framework of Minkowski valuations, discuss their implementation for neuronal cells and show ho...
متن کاملThe Steiner formula for Minkowski valuations
A Steiner type formula for continuous translation invariant Minkowski valuations is established. In combination with a recent result on the symmetry of rigid motion invariant homogeneous bivaluations, this new Steiner type formula is used to obtain a family of Brunn-Minkowski type inequalities for rigid motion intertwining Minkowski valuations.
