Abstract

Our main result states that whenever we have a non-Euclidean norm \|\cdot\| on a two-dimensional vector space XX, there exists some x0x\neq 0 such that for every λ1,λ>0\lambda\neq 1, \lambda>0, there exist y,zXy, z\in X verifying that y=λx\|y\|=\lambda\|x\|, z0z\neq 0, and zz belongs to the bisectors B(x,x)B(-x,x) and B(y,y)B(-y,y). Throughout this paper we also state and prove some other simple but maybe useful results about the geometry of the unit sphere of strictly convex planes.
