Abstract

Let KK be a convex body in Rd\Bbb R^{d} and KtK_{t} its floating bodies. There is a polytope with at most nn vertices that satisfies KtPnK K_{t} \subset P_{n} \subset K where ne16dvold(KKt)t vold(B2d) n \leq e^{16d} \frac{vol_{d}(K \setminus K_{t})}{t\ vol_{d}(B_{2}^{d})} Let KtK^{t} be the illumination bodies of KK and QnQ_{n} a polytope that contains KK and has at most nn d1d-1-dimensional faces. Then vold(KtK)cd4vold(QnK) vol_{d}(K^{t} \setminus K) \leq cd^{4} vol_{d}(Q_{n} \setminus K) where ncdt vold(KtK) n \leq \frac{c}{dt} \ vol_{d}(K^{t} \setminus K)
