Figures of Constant Width,In this chapter, bodies of constant width in the plane are studied. We call them figures of constant width. In studying them, it is important to recall from Section . that the concepts “normal”, “binormal”, “diameter”, and “diametral chord” coincide.

Bodies of Constant Width in Minkowski Spaces,In Euclidean space, the length of a segment depends only on its magnitude, never on its direction. However, for certain geometrical problems the need arises to give a different definition for the length of a segment that depends on both the magnitude and the direction.

Mixed Volumes,The notion of . represents a profound concept first discovered by Minkowski in 1900. In the letter [838] he wrote to Hilbert explaining his discoveries as interesting and quite enlightening. As we can see below, this concept will allow us to prove several classical theorems on the volume of constant width bodies in a somewhat unexpected way.

Explicate

Bodies of Constant Width in Analysis,One of the most fascinating theorems on 3-dimensional bodies of constant width, stated and proved by H. Minkowski in 1904, is presented in this section.
