We investigate Minkowski additive, continuous, and translation invariant operators Φ : K n → K n defined on the family of convex bodies such that the volume of the image Φ(K) is bounded from above and below by multiples of the volume of the convex body K, uniformly in K. We obtain a representation result for an infinite subcone contained in the cone formed by this type of operators. Under the additional assumption of monotonicity or SO(n)-equivariance, we obtain new characterization results for the difference body operator.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
