Volumetric bounds for intersections of congruent balls

Metric Geometry 2021-09-28 v1

Abstract

We investigate the intersections of balls of radius rr, called rr-ball bodies, in Euclidean dd-space. An rr-lense (resp., rr-spindle) is the intersection of two balls of radius rr (resp., balls of radius rr containing a given pair of points). We prove that among rr-ball bodies of given volume, the rr-lense (resp., rr-spindle) has the smallest inradius (resp., largest circumradius). In general, we upper (resp., lower) bound the intrinsic volumes of rr-ball bodies of given inradius (resp., circumradius). This complements and extends some earlier results on volumetric estimates for rr-ball bodies.
