AbstractGiven a stationary and isotropic Poisson hyperplane process and a convex body K in ${\mathbb R}^d$ , we consider the random polytope defined by the intersection of all closed half-spaces containing K that are bounded by hyperplanes of the process not intersecting K. We investigate how well the expected mean width of this random polytope approximates the mean width of K if the intensity of the hyperplane process tends to infinity.

Giannopoulos proved that a smooth convex body K has minimal mean width position if and only if the measure hK(u)σ(du), supported on Sn-1, is isotropic. Further, Yuan and Leng extended the minimal mean width to the minimal Lp-mean width and characterized the minimal position of convex bodies in terms of isotropicity of a suitable measure. In this paper, we study the minimal Lp-mean width of convex bodies and prove the existence and uniqueness of the minimal Lp-mean width in its SL(n) images. In addition, we establish a characterization of the minimal Lp-mean width, conclude the average Mp(K) with a variation of the minimal Lp-mean width position, and give the condition for the minimum position of Mp(K).

AbstractFor a given convex body K in ℝd, a random polytope K(n) is defined (essentially) as the intersection of n independent closed halfspaces containing K and having an isotropic and (in a specified sense) uniform distribution. We prove upper and lower bounds of optimal orders for the difference of the mean widths of K(n) and K as n tends to infinity. For a simplicial polytope P, a precise asymptotic formula for the difference of the mean widths of P(n) and P is obtained.

Abstract We prove several estimates for the volume, the mean width, and the value of the Wills functional of sections of convex bodies in John’s position, as well as for their polar bodies. These estimates extend some well-known results for convex bodies in John’s position to the case of lower-dimensional sections, which had mainly been studied for the cube and the regular simplex. Some estimates for centrally symmetric convex bodies in minimal surface area position are also obtained.

AbstractWe prove that sausages are the family of ‘extremal sets’ in relation to certain linear improvements of Minkowski’s first inequality when working with projection/sections assumptions. In particular they characterize the equality cases of the corresponding linear refinements of both the isoperimetric inequality and Urysohn’s inequality. We also characterize sausages by algebraic properties of the roots of Steiner polynomials, in which other functionals of convex bodies such as the inradius, the mean width or the diameter are involved.

AbstractLetKbe a convex body which is (i) symmetric with respect to each of the coordinate hyperplanes and (ii) in isotropic position. We prove that most linear functionals acting onKexhibit super-Gaussian tail behavior. Using known facts about the mean-width of such bodies, we then deduce strong lower bounds for the volume of certain caps. We also prove a converse statement. Namely, if anarbitraryisotropic convex body (not necessarily satisfying (i)) exhibits similar cap-behavior, then one can bound its mean-width.

The excess entropy of mixing of mixtures of hard spheres and spherocylinders is determined from an equation of state of hard convex bodies. The obtained dependence of excess entropy on composition was used to find the accuracy of determining ΔSE from relations employed for the correlation and prediction of vapour-liquid equilibrium. Simple rules were proposed for establishing the mean parameter of nonsphericity for mixtures of hard bodies of different shapes allowing to describe the P-V-T behaviour of solutions in terms of the equation of state fo pure substance. The determination of ΔSE by means of these rules is discussed.
