The classical Minkowski problem concerns the existence, uniqueness and regularity of closed convex hypersurfaces whose Gauss curvature is prescribed as function of the normals. In the present paper the author proves that the set of smooth, \(\pi \)-periodic, positive functions on the unit sphere for which the planar \(L_{-2}\) Minkowski problem is solvable is dense in the set of all smooth, \(\pi \)-periodic, positive functions on the unit sphere with respect to the \(L^{\infty }\) norm. Furthermore, he obtains a necessary condition for the solvability of the even \(L_{-2}\) Minkowski problem. At the end, he proves uniqueness of the solutions up to special linear transformations.
