Characterization of different classes of convex bodies via orthogonality (Q657683)

The authors introduce the notion of affine orthogonality with respect to a convex body. In contrast to the concept of normal to a convex body, which is due to \textit{H. G. Eggleston} [Isr. J. Math. 3, 163--172 (1965; Zbl 0166.17901)], one does not need a metric for this new definition. Using affine orthogonality, the authors characterize convex bodies of constant width in strictly convex and smooth normed planes (Theorem 4.6) and other special classes of convex bodies.
