Abstract

Let KK be a convex body in Rd\mathbb{R} ^d, with d=2,3d = 2,3. We determine sharp sufficient conditions for a set EE composed of 11, 22, or 33 points of bdK{\rm bd}K, to contain at least one endpoint of a diameter of KK (for d=2,3d=2,3). We extend this also to convex surfaces, with their intrinsic metric. Our conditions are upper bounds on the sum of the complete angles at the points in EE. We also show that such criteria do not exist for n4n\geq 4 points.
