Covering convex bodies by translates of convex bodies

Mathematika, 1997
A number of known estimates of the number of translates, or lattice translates, of a convex body H required to cover a convex body K are obtained as consequences of two simple results.

Convex bodies with non‐convex cross‐section bodies

Mathematika, 1999
It is shown that the regular n -dimensional simplex has a non-convex cross-section body for all n ≥ 4.

Algorithms for Convex Bodies

1988
We shall now exploit the ellipsoid method (the central-cut and the shallow-cut version) described in Chapter 3. In Sections 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4 we study the algorithmic relations between problems (2.1.10),..., (2.1.14), and we will prove that — under certain assumptions — these problems are equivalent with respect to polynomial time solvability.

Completions of convex families of convex bodies

Mathematical Notes, 2012
The paper discusses the existence of a continuous extension of functions that are defined on subsets of ℝ n and whose values are convex bodies in ℝ n . This problem arose in convex geometry in connection with the notion, recently introduced in algebraic geometry, of convex Newton ...

On the Minimal Convex Shell of a Convex Body

Canadian Mathematical Bulletin, 1993
AbstractFor any convex body C in ℝd we introduce the notion of the convex shell and we prove that there exists a unique "minimal" convex shell, extending the notion of the minimal spherical shell of C. Then we prove that a "typical" convex body touches the boundary of its minimal convex shell in precisely d + 2 points.
