Central points for sets in \(\mathbb{R}^ n\) (or: the chocolate ice-cream problem) (Q1913696)

Let \(A\) be a measurable subset of the unit ball \(\mathbb{B}\) in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) and let \(r \in [0,1]\) be a real number. The main problem studied and solved in this paper can roughly be formulated as follows: find a point \(x\) for which the intersection of the \(r\)-neighborhood of \(x\) with \(A\) is ``large''.
