On Hadwiger Numbers of Direct Products of Convex Bodies
The Hadwiger number H(K) of a d-dimensional convex body K is the maximum number of mutually nonoverlapping translates of K that can touch K. We define H∗(K) analogously, with the restriction that all touching translates of K are pairwise disjoint. In this paper, we verify a conjecture of Zong [1997] by showing that for any d1, d2 ≥ 3 there exist convex bodies K1 and K2 such that Ki is di-dimens...
متن کاملCovering Numbers and “low M-estimate” for Quasi-convex Bodies
This article gives estimates on covering numbers and diameters of random proportional sections and projections of symmetric quasi-convex bodies in Rn. These results were known for the convex case and played an essential role in development of the theory. Because duality relations can not be applied in the quasiconvex setting, new ingredients were introduced that give new understanding for the c...
متن کاملShadows of Convex Bodies
It is proved that if C is a convex body in R" then C has an affine image C (of nonzero volume) so that if P is any 1-codimensional orthogonal projection, \PC\>\C\{tt~l)/n. It is also shown that there is a pathological body, K , all of whose orthogonal projections have volume about \fh~ times as large as |Ä"| . 0. Introduction The problems discussed in this paper concern the areas of shadows (or...
متن کاملReductibility of Convex Bodies
Introduction Let C be a convex bounded body in the n-dimensional Euclidean space E, and let B be its boundary. We use Busemann's notations: E(a,b) for the segment {(1 — p)a + pb: 0 < p ^ 1} from a to b, and S(z, p) for the sphere {x: \\z — x\\ = p). We now recall the definition of Hammer's associated bodies C(r). Let Cb(r) be the set obtained from C by a similitude transformation with a ratio r...
متن کاملThe Cross-section Body, Plane Sections of Convex Bodies and Approximation of Convex Bodies, Ii*
We compare the volumes of projections of convex bodies and the volumes of the projections of their sections, and, dually, those of sections of convex bodies and of sections of their circumscribed cylinders. For L ⊂ R a convex body, we take n random segments in L and consider their ‘Minkowski average’ D. For fixed n, the pth moments of V (D) (1 ≤ p < ∞) are minimized, for V (L) fixed, by the ell...
