Mean Width - Reference Material

Reference Material

The mean width is usually mentioned in any good reference on convex geometry, for instance, Selected topics in convex geometry by Maria Moszyńska (Birkhäuser, Boston 2006). The relation between the mean width and the mean curvature is also derived in that reference.

The application of the mean width as one of the measures featuring in Hadwiger's theorem is discussed in Beifang Chen in "A simplified elementary proof of Hadwiger's volume theorem." Geom. Dedicata 105 (2004), 107—120.

Famous quotes containing the words reference and/or material:

    I am more and more convinced that, with reference to any public question, it is more important to know what the country thinks of it than what the city thinks. The city does not think much.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    He looked as if he wished to rive new war material out of the wombs of the mothers.
    —Anonymous. Quoted in Ellen Key, War, Peace and the Future, ch. 9 (1916)
