      Convex sets of constant width and 3-diameter (English)

      The \(n\)-diameter of a set \(S\) is defined as the supremum of the geometric mean of all (Euclidean) distances among \(n\) points from \(E\). For \(n=2\) this is just the ordinary diameter of a set. In the paper under review the authors study the \(3\)-diameter of planar compact convex sets of constant width. Among others they prove that for this class of sets, disks have the smallest 3-diameter and Reuleaux triangles have the largest 3-diameter.
