Abstract:

Two Bonnesen-style inequalities are obtained for the relative inradius of one convex body with respect to another in $n$-dimensional space. Both reduce to the known planar inequality; one sharpens the relative isoperimetric inequality, the other states that a quadratic polynomial is negative at the inradius. Circumradius inequalities follow.
