Conjecture that planar grazes characterize ellipsoids
Conjecture that planar grazes characterize ellipsoids
Let be convex bodies with . For a point , let denote the graze of from , namely the intersection of the boundary of the support cone of from with . Suppose that, for every , lies in a hyperplane. Planar-graze characterization conjecture. Then is an ellipsoid. The source presents this as an expected extension of known characterizations of ellipsoids by planar shadow boundaries and grazes; its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
