Eventual concavity conjecture for parallel volume

At least 12 years old · documented by

Let AA be a compact subset of Rn\mathbb{R}^n, let BB be a convex body in Rn\mathbb{R}^n, and define

VA,B(t)=∣A+tB∣.V_{A,B}(t)=|A+tB|.

Eventual concavity conjecture. There exists t0t_0 such that VA,B(t)V_{A,B}(t) is 1n\frac{1}{n}-concave on [t0,+∞)[t_0,+\infty). This is proposed as a weaker form of the Costa–Cover conjecture after the latter is shown to fail in general. The paper establishes the claim only for special sets, so the general assertion remains open.
