On the 1-measure of asymmetry for convex bodies of constant width (Q2452340)

In this note, the author shows that a measure of symmetry introduced by Q. Guo in 2012 becomes in the class of convex bodies of constant width in \(\mathbb{R}^2\), respectively \(\mathbb{R}^3\), a ratio between the constant width at an appropriate power and volume, up to an additive and a multiplicative constant. This leads to a new proof that the most asymmetric convex body of constant width in \(\mathbb{R}^2\) is the Reuleaux triangle. The first proof of this fact belongs to Besicovitch from 1951.
