On the (Dual) Blaschke diagram (Q2040955)

The relation between properties of the roots of Steiner polynomials and the Blaschke diagram is investigated. The behavior of the roots of the Steiner polynomial of a~convex body embedded in a higher dimensional space is studied. In the 3-dimensional case, the involved sets follow a precise pattern when they are mapped into the Blaschke diagram. The so-called dual Blaschke diagram is constructed and characterized. As an immediate consequence, a new characterization of dual quermassintegrals in dimension \(n = 3\) is put forward. The corresponding Blaschke problem in the setting of the so-called dual Brunn-Minkowski theory is studied.
