On summands properties and Minkowski subtraction (Q2454956)

Let \(X\) be a Hausdorff topological vector space, and \(A,B\) be compact, convex subsets of \(X\). The authors use the Minkowski subtraction \[ A\dot-B=\{x\in X:x+B \subset A\} \] of \(A\) and \(B\) to extend a theorem of \textit{G. T. Sallee} [J. Geom. 29, 1--11 (1987; Zbl 0615.52004)] to non-symmetric sets. So their investigations refer to the family of sets for which the implication \(C\dot-A=B\) and \(C\dot-B=A\Rightarrow A+B=C\) is not true (``+'' denoting usual vector addition), and in the final part of the paper they study the problem for which compact, convex sets \(A\) the set \(A\dot-B\) is a vector summand of \(A\).
