Abstract

For a given planar convex compact set KK, consider a bisection {A,B}\{A,B\} of KK (i.e., AB=KA\cup B=K and whose common boundary ABA\cap B is an injective continuous curve connecting two boundary points of KK) minimizing the corresponding maximum diameter (or maximum width) of the regions among all such bisections of KK. In this note we study some properties of these minimizing bisections and we provide analogous to the isodiametric (Bieberbach, 1915), the isominwidth (P\'al, 1921), the reverse isodiametric (Behrend, 1937), and the reverse isominwidth (Gonz\'alez Merino \& Schymura, 2018) inequalities.
