Conjecture on intersections of support cones characterizing homothetic ellipsoids
Conjecture on intersections of support cones characterizing homothetic ellipsoids
Let be convex bodies, with , and suppose that . For , let denote the boundary of the cone generated by with apex . Support-cone intersection conjecture. For every , there exist and a hyperplane such that
Then and are homothetic ellipsoids. The source presents this as a problem motivated by an observation about intersections of support cones; the supplied parser gives no evidence that it has been resolved.
