Diversities and the generalized circumradius (Q6142370)

The authors continue the study of the so-called diversities that were introduced in [\textit{D. Bryant} and \textit{P. F. Tupper}, Adv. Math. 231, No. 6, 3172--3198 (2012; Zbl 1256.54055); Discrete Math. Theor. Comput. Sci. 16, No. 2, 1--20 (2014; Zbl 1294.05117)]. They introduce the generalized circumradius of a subset of \({\mathbb R}^d\) by replacing the euclidean ball with an arbitrary convex body called a kernel and prove that the generalized circumradius is a diversity. Also they characterize Minkowski diversities and elaborate the cases that the kernel is a simplex or parallelotope.
