An explicit solution to the Christoffel-Minkowski problem for convex bodies of revolution is presented. The conditions on the prescribed measure involve only first moments over spherical caps, and the support function of the resulting…

In this article, we introduce a $k$-th capillary area measure for capillary convex bodies in the Euclidean half-space, which serves as a boundary counterpart to the classical concept of area measure (see, e.g., \cite[Chapter 8]{Sch}). We…

We introduce a particular class of unbounded closed convex sets of $\R^{d+1}$, called F-convex sets (F stands for future). To define them, we use the Minkowski bilinear form of signature $(+,...,+,-)$ instead of the usual scalar product,…
