Abstract:
The properties of the adjoint transform (associating to a set the intersection of all disks of given radius centered in the set) are systematically investigated, in particular its relationship with the overconvex, the parallelisation and completion of sets. Sets conjugate by the transform can be characterised in a new way as the union or the intersection of all completions of the reference body. New relationships satisfied by their areas and perimeters are derived. Two applications in problems of random intersection of disks are finally treated.References
