凸体的极值体积椭球及其对称性和特殊情况下的确定

The extremal volume ellipsoids of convex bodies, their symmetry properties, and their determination in some special cases

Osman Güler, Filiz Gürtuna

摘要:

一个凸体K具有唯一的最小体积的外切椭球CE(K)和唯一的最大体积的内接椭球IE(K)。我们首先给出了一个统一的,现代的阐述这些极值椭球的基本理论,使用的半无限规划的方法开创了弗里茨约翰在他的开创性的1948年的文件。然后,我们研究了凸体及其极值椭球的自同构群。证明了如果凸体K的自同构群足够大,则可以用半无限规划或非线性规划精确地确定极值椭球CE(K)和IE(K).作为例子,我们计算了当凸体K是给定椭球在两个平行超平面之间的部分时,以及当K是截头二阶锥或椭球柱时的极值椭球。

英文摘要:

A convex body K has associated with it a unique circumscribed ellipsoid CE(K) with minimum volume, and a unique inscribed ellipsoid IE(K) with maximum volume. We first give a unified, modern exposition of the basic theory of these extremal ellipsoids using the semi-infinite programming approach pioneered by Fritz John in his seminal 1948 paper. We then investigate the automorphism groups of convex bodies and their extremal ellipsoids. We show that if the automorphism group of a convex body K is large enough, then it is possible to determine the extremal ellipsoids CE(K) and IE(K) exactly, using either semi-infinite programming or nonlinear programming. As examples, we compute the extremal ellipsoids when the convex body K is the part of a given ellipsoid between two parallel hyperplanes, and when K is a truncated second order cone or an ellipsoidal cylinder.
