Abstract

In this paper we solve several reverse isoperimetric problems in the class of λ\lambda-convex bodies, i.e., convex bodies whose curvature at each point of their boundary is bounded below by some λ>0\lambda > 0. We give an affirmative answer in R3\mathbb{R}^3 to a conjecture due to Borisenko which states that the λ\lambda-convex lens, i.e., the intersection of two balls of radius 1/λ1/\lambda, is the unique minimizer of volume among all λ\lambda-convex bodies of given surface area. Also, we prove a reverse inradius inequality: in model spaces of constant curvature and arbitrary dimension, we show that the λ\lambda-convex lens (properly defined in non-zero curvature spaces) has the smallest inscribed ball among all λ\lambda-convex bodies of given surface area. This solves a conjecture due to Bezdek on minimal inradius of isoperimetric ball-polyhedra in Rn\mathbb{R}^n.
