A characterization of Blaschke addition as a map between origin-symmetric convex bodies is established. This results from a new characterization of Minkowski addition as a map between origin-symmetric zonoids, combined with the use of Lévy-Prokhorov metrics. A full set of examples is provided that show the results are in a sense the best possible.

We derive a Brunn-Minkowski-type inequality regarding the volume of the Minkowski sum of degenerate sets, namely, line sets. Let A 1 : : : A n be one dimensional sets of unit length, and v

To determine the relative position of any two surfaces in a system, one approach is to use operations (Minkowski sum and intersection) on sets of constraints. These constraints are made compliant with half-spaces of n  where each set of half-spaces defines an operand polyhedron. These operands are generally unbounded due to the inclusion of degrees of invariance for surfaces and degrees of fre...
