Abstract

Let γ:SnR+\gamma: S^n\to \mathbb{R}_+ be a convex integrand and Wγ\mathcal{W}_\gamma be the Wulff shape of γ \gamma. Apex point naturally arise in non-smooth Wulff shape, in particular, vertex of convex polytope. %Let PSnP\in S^n. In this paper, we study the behavior of convex integrand around apex point of its Wulff shape. We prove that γ(P)\gamma(P) is locally maximum, and R+PWγ\mathbb{R}_+ P\cap \partial \mathcal{W}_\gamma is an apex point of Wγ\mathcal{W}_\gamma if and only if the graph of γ\gamma around the apex point is a pice of sphere. As an application of the proof of this result, we prove that for any spherical convex body CC of constant width τ>π/2\tau>\pi/2, there exists a sequence {Ci}i=1\{C_i\}_{i=1}^\infty of convex bides of constant width τ\tau, whose boundary consists only of arcs of circles of radius τπ2\tau-\frac{\pi}{2} and great circle segments such that limICi=C\lim_{I\to \infty}C_i=C with respect to the Hausdorff distance.
