On the symmetric average of a convex body
We introduce a new parameter, symmetric average, which measures the asymmetry of a given non-degenerated convex body K in Rn. Namely, sav(K) = infa∈intK ∫ Ka ‖ − x‖Ka dx/|K|, where |K| denotes the volume of K and Ka = K − a. We show that for polytopes sav(K) ≤ C ln N , where N is the number of facets of K. Moreover, in general n n+1 ≤ sav(K) < √ n and equality in the lower bound holds if and on...
متن کاملOn the shadow boundary of a centrally symmetric convex body
If K is a 0-symmetric, bounded, convex body in the Euclidean n-space R (with a fixed origin O) then it defines a norm whose unit ball is K itself (see [12]). Such a space is called Minkowski normed space. The main results in this topic collected in the survey [16] and [17]. In fact, the norm is a continuous function which is considered (in the geometric terminology as in [12]) as a gauge functi...
متن کاملAn example of a convex body without symmetric projections
Many crucial results of the asymptotic theory of symmetric convex bodies were extended to the non-symmetric case in recent years. That led to the conjecture that for every n-dimensional convex body K there exists a projection P of rank k, proportional to n, such that PK is almost symmetric. We prove that the conjecture does not hold. More precisely, we construct an n-dimensional convex body K s...
متن کاملOn Convex Body Chasing
A player moving in the plane is given a sequence of instructions of the following type: at step i a planar convex set Fi is specified, and the player has to move to a point in Fi. The player is charged for the distance traveled. We provide a strategy for the player which is competitive, i.e., for any sequence Fi the cost to the player is within a constant (multiplicative) factor of the "off-lin...
متن کاملCovering the Plane with Congruent Copies of a Convex Body
It is shown that every plane compact convex set /f with an interior point admits a covering of the plane with density smaller than or equal to 8(2\/3 — 3)/3 = 1.2376043 For comparison, the thinnest covering of the plane with congruent circles is of density 2n/\Z21 = 1.209199576... (see R. Kershner [3]), which shows that the covering density bound obtained here is close to the best possible. It ...
