Abstract

We generalize the ham sandwich theorem for the case of well separated measures. Given convex bodies K1,...,KdK_1,...,K_d in Rd\mathbb{R_d} and numbers α1,...,αd[0,1]\alpha_1,...,\alpha_d \in [0, 1], we give a sufficient condition for existence and uniqueness of an (oriented)halfspace H with Vol(HKiH \cap K_i)= \alpha_i \dot VolKiK_i for every i. The result is extended from convex bodies to measures.
