The volume of a Meissner polyhedron is computed in terms of the lengths of its dual edges. This allows to reformulate the Meissner conjecture regarding constant width bodies with minimal volume as a series of explicit finite dimensional…

We study a specific convex maximization problem in n-dimensional space. The conjectured solution is proved to be a vertex of the polyhedral feasible region, but only a partial proof of local maximality is known. Integer sequences with…

Let $ K $ be a convex body in $ \mathbb{R}^n $. We denote the volume of $ K $ by $ \vert K\vert $, and the polar body of its difference body $ K - K $ by $ (K - K)^{\circ} $. We provide a new proof of the well-known estimate \[ |K||(K -…

We consider a compact hyperbolic antiprism. It is a convex polyhedron with $2n$ vertices in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^3$. This polyhedron has a symmetry group $S_{2n}$ generated by a mirror-rotational symmetry of order $2n$, i.e.…

In this paper we deal with the problem to find the maximal volume polyhedra with a prescribed property and inscribed in the unit sphere. We generalize those inequality (called by \emph{icosahedron inequality}) of L. Fejes-T\'oth of which an…
