48 results for Minkowski sum

Can the Minkowski sum of two compact convex bodies be made smoother by rotating one of them? We construct two infinitely differentiable strictly convex plane bodies such that after any generic rotation (in the Baire category sense) of one of the summands the Minkowski sum is not five times differentiable. On the other …

The classification of continuous, translation invariant Minkowski valuations which are contravariant (or covariant) with respect to the complex special linear group is established in a 2-dimensional complex vector space. Every such valuation is given by the sum of a valuation of degree of homogeneity 1 and 3. In dimens…

If ΓΓ is the range of a Jordan curve that bounds a convex set in R2,\mathbb{R}^2, then 12(Γ+Γ)=co(Γ),\frac{1}{2}(Γ+Γ)=\mathsf{co}(Γ), where ++ is the Minkowski sum and co\mathsf{co} is the convex hull. Answering a question of V.N. Ushakov, we construct a simple closed curve in R3\mathbb{R}^3 with range ΓΓ such that $\frac{1}{2}(…

The dual Minkowski problem for even data asks what are the necessary and sufficient conditions on an even prescribed measure on the unit sphere for it to be the qq-th dual curvature measure of an origin-symmetric convex body in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. A full solution to this is given when 1<q<n1 < q < n. The necessary and suffic…

Consider a convex polygon P in the plane, and denote by U a homothetical copy of the vector sum of P and (-P). Then the polygon U, as unit ball, induces a norm such that, with respect to this norm, P has constant Minkowskian width. We define notions like Minkowskian curvature, evolutes and involutes for polygons of con…

In particular, using Minkowski sums, we construct a deformation retraction of $\d\K^n$ onto the Grassmannian space of hyperplanes. So every hypersurface in $\d \K^n$ may be flattened in a canonic…
