Extract

A convex compact subset of ℝd is called a convex body. The (Euclidean) surface area and volume of a convex body K are denoted s(K) and v(K) respectively. The support function of a convex body K is denned by h(K, x) = maxy∈K xty and the polar dual of K is given by K0 = {x: |xty|1, y∈K}. Double vertical bars shall denote the Euclidean length of a vector , and S shall denote the unit sphere (the Euclidean unit ball): S = {x: ║x║≤1}. We use for the mixed volume
