Abstract

In this paper we introduce the Constant Width Measure Set, which measures the constant width property of an oval, i.e. the planar simple closed strictly convex curve. We study its geometrical properties. We find the exact relation between the length and the area of the region bounded by an oval MM. Namely, the following equality is fulfilled: \begin{align*} L_{M}^2 &=4\pi A_M+8\pi\left|\widetilde{A}_{\mathrm{E}_{\frac{1}{2}}(M)}\right|+\pi\left|\widetilde{A}_{\mathrm{CWMS}(M)}\right|, \end{align*} where LM,AM,A~E12(M),A~CWMS(M)L_{M}, A_{M}, \widetilde{A}_{\mathrm{E}_{\frac{1}{2}}(M)}, \widetilde{A}_{\mathrm{CWMS}(M)} are the length of MM, the area bounded by MM, the oriented area of the Wigner caustic of MM and the oriented area of the Constant Width Measure Set of MM, respectively. Furthermore we study the geometry of the Spherical Measure Set, which is an offset of a curve with a special distance. We show that the oriented area of this set of an oval MM, A~SMS(M)\widetilde{A}_{\mathrm{SMS}(M)}, satisfies the following equality: \begin{align*} 4\left|\widetilde{A}_{\mathrm{SMS}(M)}\right|=8\left|\widetilde{A}_{\mathrm{E}_{\frac{1}{2}}(M)}\right|+\left|\widetilde{A}_{\mathrm{CWMS}(M)}\right|. \end{align*}
