Abstract
Let denote the Euclidean ball with diameter , i.e. with with center at and radius . We call such a ball a petal. A flower is any union of petals, i.e. for any set . We showed in previous work that the family of all flowers is in 1-1 correspondence with - the family of all convex bodies containing . Actually, there are two essentially different such correspondences. We demonstrate a number of different non-linear constructions on and . Towards this goal we further develop the theory of flowers.
