On successive minima-type inequalities for the polar of a convex body (Q2317591)

The authors study bounds on the volume of a convex body in terms of the successive minima of its polar body, starting from the conjectures and the estimates of \textit{K. Mahler} [Čas. Mat. Fys. 68, 93--102 (1939; Zbl 0021.10403); Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 11, 123--131 (1974; Zbl 0277.10022)] and \textit{L. Fejes Tóth} and \textit{E. Makai jun.} [Stud. Sci. Math. Hung. 9, 191--193 (1975; Zbl 0299.52010)]. Successive minima of the polar of difference body of triangles from a special class are computed first. Some basic properties of gauge functions and support functions are presented. Finally, two theorems establishing new upper bounds and lower bounds are proved.
