On Extreme Constant Width Bodies in \(\mathbb {R}^3\)

摘要

We consider the family of constant width bodies in \(\mathbb {R}^3\) R 3 which is convex under Minkowski addition. Extreme shapes cannot be expressed as a nontrivial convex combination of other constant width bodies. We show that each Meissner polyhedron is extreme. We also explain that each constant width body obtained by rotating a symmetric Reuleaux polygon about its line of symmetry is extreme. In addition, we conjecture a general characterization of all extreme constant width shapes.
