Subdividing a convex body by a system of cones and polytopes inscribed in the body (Q2212383)

In \({\mathbb R}^n\), let \(C_1,\dots,C_{2n}\) be nonoverlapping convex cones with apex \(0\) such that \(C_i\) and \(C_{i+n}\) are symmetric with respect to the hyperplane \(x_i=0\) and their generators make angles at most \(\arcsin n^{-1/2}\) with the \(i\)th coordinate axis (\(i=1,\dots,n\)). Theorem 2 says the following. Let \(K\subset{\mathbb R}^n\) be a smooth convex body. For given positive numbers \(y_1,\dots,y_n\), there is an interior point \(x\) of \(K\) such that \(V(K\cap(C_i+x))=y_iV(K\cap (C_{n+i}+x))\) for \(i=1,\dots,n\). Here \(V\) is the volume, but can be replaced by other functionals with suitable properties. Reviewer's remark. Theorem 1 of the paper is not correct. A counterexample to the surjectivity of the function \(f\), stated on page 512, is as follows. Let \(n=2\), \(K\) a circular disc, \(F\) the two-dimensional volume, \(C_1,C_2,C_3\) nonoverlapping convex cones with apex \(0\) and internal angle \(2\pi/3\). Then, for sufficiently small \(\varepsilon\ge 0\), there is no point \(x\in K\) for which \(f(x)=(\varepsilon,\varepsilon,1-2\varepsilon)\).
