Abstract:
By using inequalities obtained for the volume of mixed bodies and the Petty Projection Inequality, (sharp) isoperimetric inequalities are derived for the projection measures (Quermassintegrale) of a convex body. These projection measure inequalities, which involve mixed projection bodies (zonoids), are shown to be strengthened versions of the classical inequalities between the projection measures of a convex body. The inequality obtained for the volume of mixed bodies is also used to derive a form of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality involving mixed bodies. As an application, inequalities are given between the projection measures of convex bodies and the mixed projection integrals of the bodies.References
