Abstract

For given continuous functions γi:SnR+\gamma_{{}_{i}}: S^{n}\to \mathbb{R}_{+} (where i=1,2i=1, 2), the functions γmax\gamma_{{}_{max}} and γmin\gamma_{{}_{min}} can be defined as natural way. In this paper, we show that the Wulff shape associated to γmax\gamma_{{}_{max}} is the convex hull of the union of Wulff shapes associated to γ1\gamma_{{}_1} and γ2\gamma_{{}_2} , if γ1\gamma_{{}_1} and γ2\gamma_{{}_2} are convex integrands. And, the Wulff shape associated to γmin\gamma_{{}_{min}} is the intersection of Wulff shapes associated to γ1\gamma_{{}_1} and γ2\gamma_{{}_2}. Moreover, relationships between their dual Wulff shapes are given.
