A Directional Curvature Formula for Convex Bodies in R^n

Metric Geometry 2021-06-01 v1

Abstract

For a compact convex set F in R^n, with the origin in its interior, we present a formula to compute the curvature at a fixed point on its boundary, in the direction of any tangent vector. This formula is equivalent to the existing ones, but it is easier to apply.
