In this paper, we show that if $L_p$ Gaussian surface area measure is proportional to the spherical Lebesgue measure, then the corresponding convex body has to be a centered disk when $p\in[0,1)$. Moreover, we investigate $C^0$ estimate of…

The convex body isoperimetric conjecture in the plane asserts that the least perimeter to enclose given area inside a unit disk is greater than inside any other convex set of area $\pi$. In this note we confirm two cases of the conjecture:…

A number of results for C$^2$-smooth surfaces of constant width in Euclidean 3-space ${\mathbb{E}}^3$ are obtained. In particular, an integral inequality for constant width surfaces is established. This is used to prove that the ratio of…

In the first part of this paper, we develop the theory of anisotropic curvature measures for convex bodies in the Euclidean space. It is proved that any convex body whose boundary anisotropic curvature measure equals a linear combination of…

We study smoothness and strict convexity of (the bidual) of Banach spaces in the presence of diameter 2 properties. We prove that the strong diameter 2 property prevents the bidual from being strictly convex and being smooth, and we…

Let n be a natural number equal or greater than 2. In this paper we study the topological structure of certain hyperspaces of convex subsets of constant width, equipped with the Hausdorff metric topology. We focus our attention on the…

For each N>=c_d*n^{2d*(d+1)/(d+2)} we prove the existence of a spherical n-design on S^d consisting of N points, where c_d is a constant depending only on $d$.

Following Santal\'{o}'s approach, we prove several characterizations of a disc among bodies of constant width, constant projections lengths, or constant section lengths on given families of geodesics.

It is known that the $L_p$-curvature of a smooth, strictly convex body in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ is constant only for origin-centred balls when $1\neq p>-n$, and only for balls when $p=1$. If $p=-n$, then the $L_{-n}$-curvature is constant only…

We show that the cone-volume measure of a convex body with centroid at the origin satisfies the subspace concentration condition. This implies, among others, a conjectured best possible inequality for the $\mathrm{U}$-functional of a convex…

In a normed linear space X an element x is said to be orthogonal to another element y in the sense of Birkhoff-James, written as $ x \perp_{B}y, $ iff $ \| x \| \leq \| x + \lambda y \| $ for all scalars $ \lambda.$ We prove that a normed…

The purpose of this paper is to describe a new $3$-dimensional family of bodies of constant width that we have called peabodies, obtained from the Reuleaux tetrahedron by replacing a small neighborhood of all six edges with sections of an…

The speed of a ball rolling without skidding or spinning on a surface $S$ is the length of the velocity of its center. We show that if the speed depends only on $p\in S$, then $S$ has constant mean curvature; and, conversely, that if the…

The goal of this paper is to present a lower bound for the Mahler volume of at least 4-dimensional symmetric convex bodies. We define a computable dimension dependent constant through a 2-dimensional variational (max-min) procedure and…

We introduce a flow in the space of constant width bodies in three-dimensional Euclidean space that simultaneously increases the volume and decreases the circumradius of the shape as time increases. Starting from any initial constant width…

We give an explicit construction of a closed curve with constant torsion and everywhere positive curvature. We also discuss the restrictions on closed curves of constant torsion when they are constrained to lie on convex surfaces.

Let $M$ be a convex body and let $K$ be a closed convex surface $K$ both contained in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^3$. What can we say about $M$ if $K$ encloses $M$ and if from all the points in $K$ the body $M$ looks the same? In this…

In this paper, we investigate constant breadth curves on a surface according to Darboux frame and give some characterizations of these curves.

Given a convex body C in R^d containing the origin in its interior and a real number tau > 1 we seek to construct a polytope P in C with as few vertices as possible such that C in tau P. Our construction is nearly optimal for a wide range…

A continuous quadratic form ("quadratic form", in short) on a Banach space $X$ is: (a) delta-semidefinite (i.e., representable as a difference of two nonnegative quadratic forms) if and only if the corresponding symmetric linear operator…
