Asymptotics of generalized Hadwiger numbers

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We give asymptotic estimates for the number of non-overlapping homothetic copies of some centrally symmetric oval B which have a common point with a 2-dimensional domain F having rectifiable boundary, extending previous work of the L.Fejes-Toth, K.Borockzy Jr., D.G.Larman, S.Sezgin, C.Zong and the authors. The asymptotics compute the length of the boundary partialF in the Minkowski metric determined by B. The core of the proof consists of a method for sliding convex beads along curves with positive reach in the Minkowski plane. We also prove that level sets are rectifiable subsets, extending a theorem of Erd"os, Oleksiv and Pesin for the Euclidean space to the Minkowski space.
