Shadow systems of asymmetric \(L_p\) zonotopes (Q390750)

Sharp reverse isoperimetric inequalities for the asymmetric \(L_{p}\) volume product and the asymmetric \(L_{p}\) volume ratio are established in the framework of the asymptotic \(L_{p}\) zonotopes. These zonotopes are defined as \(L_{p}\) sums of line segments in \(\mathbb{R}^{n} (n\geq 2)\) having an endpoint at the origin. The extreme cases of the inequalities are characterized. The shadow system of multisets and the shadow system of convex bodies provide the main tools used in this paper. Reisner's volume product inequality for \(L_{1}\) zonotopes (see [\textit{S. Reisner}, Math. Z. 192, 339--346 (1986; Zbl 0578.52005)]) is embedded into these new results. The case of symmetric framework is completed by the uniqueness results of the extremals.
