Homothetic packings of centrally symmetric convex bodies

چکیده
A centrally symmetric convex body is a compact set with non-empty interior that about the origin. Of particular interest are those both smooth and strictly convex—known here as regular bodies—since they retain many of useful properties d-dimensional Euclidean ball. We prove for any given C, homothetic packing copies C randomly chosen radii will have (2, 2)-sparse planar contact graph. further there exists comeagre bodies where graph can be realised stress-free C.

Pairs of Convex Bodies with Centrally Symmetric Intersections of Translates
For a pair of convex bodies K and K ′ in Ed , the d-dimensional intersections K ∩ (x + K ′), x ∈ Ed , are centrally symmetric if and only if K and K ′ are represented as direct sums K = R ⊕ P and K ′ = R′ ⊕ P ′ such that: (i) R is a compact convex set of some dimension m, 0 ≤ m ≤ d, and R′ = z − R for a suitable vector z ∈ Ed , (ii) P and P ′ are isothetic parallelotopes, both of dimension d − m.
متن کاملOn Shadow Boundaries of Centrally Symmetric Convex Bodies
We discuss the concept of the so-called shadow boundary belonging to a given direction x of Euclidean n-space R lying in the boundary of a centrally symmetric convex body K. Actually, K can be considered as the unit ball of a finite dimensional normed linear (= Minkowski) space. We introduce the notion of the general parameter spheres of K corresponding to the above direction x and prove that i...
متن کاملMaximal Sections and Centrally Symmetric Bodies
Let d ≥ 2 and let K ⊂ R be a convex body containing the origin 0 in its interior. Let, for each direction ω, the (d − 1)–volume of the intersection of K and an arbitrary hyperplane with normal ω attain its maximum if the hyperplane contains 0. Then K is symmetric about 0. The proof uses a linear integro–differential operator on S, whose null–space needs to be, and will be determined.
متن کاملOn Non-separable Families of Positive Homothetic Convex Bodies
A finite family B of balls with respect to an arbitrary norm inRd (d ≥ 2) is called a non-separable family if there is no hyperplane disjoint from ⋃ B that strictly separates some elements of B from all the other elements of B in Rd . In this paper we prove that if B is a non-separable family of balls of radii r1, r2, . . . , rn (n ≥ 2) with respect to an arbitrary norm in Rd (d ≥ 2), then B ca...
متن کاملUPPER BOUNDS FOR THE COVERING NUMBER OF CENTRALLY SYMMETRIC CONVEX BODIES IN Rn
The covering number c(K) of a convex body K is the least number of smaller homothetic copies of K needed to cover K . We provide new upper bounds for c(K) when K is centrally symmetric by introducing and studying the generalized α -blocking number βα 2 (K) of K . It is shown that when a centrally symmetric convex body K is sufficiently close to a centrally symmetric convex body K′ , then c(K) i...
