Abstract:
When measuring asymmetry of convex sets in terms of inscribed simplices, the interior of naturally splits into regular and singular sets. Based on examples, it may be conjectured that the singular set is empty iff is a simplex. In this paper we prove this conjecture with the additional assumption that has at least isolated extreme points on its boundary.
