The general dual Orlicz geominimal surface area (Q2305173)

Let \({\mathcal K}_0\) and \({\mathcal L}_0\) be the set of convex bodies, respectively star bodies, in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) that contain the origin in the interior. For \(K,L\in{\mathcal L}_0\), the dual Orlicz mixed volume \[ \widetilde V_{q,\varphi}(K,L) =\frac{1}{n}\int_{S^{n-1}}\varphi\left(\frac{\rho_L(u)}{\rho_K(u)}\right)\rho_K(u)^q\,\mathrm d\sigma(u) \] (where \(\rho\) denotes the radial function, \(q\in{\mathbb R}\), and \(\varphi:{\mathbb R}^+\to{\mathbb R}^+\) is an increasing continuous function with \(\lim_{t\to 0}\varphi(t)=0\) and \(\lim_{t\to\infty}\varphi(t)=\infty\)) is used to define the general dual Orlicz geominimal surface of \(K\in {\mathcal L}_0\) by \[ \widetilde G_{q,\varphi}(K) =\inf\left\{n\widetilde V_{q,\varphi}(K,L): L\in{\mathcal K}^n_0 \mbox{ with }|L^\circ| =\omega_n\right\}. \] Here \(L^\circ\) denotes the polar body of \(L\) and \(\omega_n\) is the volume of the unit ball. The dual Orlicz-Petty body of \(K\in {\mathcal L}_0\) is defined as a convex body \(T\) for which \[ \widetilde G_{q,\varphi}(K) = n\widetilde V_{q,\varphi}(K,T) \quad \mbox{and}\quad|T^\circ|=\omega_n. \] The authors prove the continuity of the general dual Orlicz mixed volume, the affine invariance and continuity of the general dual Orlicz geominimal surface area, the existence of the dual Orlicz-Petty body, and its uniqueness if \(\varphi\) is convex.
