Minimum area of a set of constant width in the hyperbolic plane
According to the author a simply closed curve in the hyperbolic plane is called of constant width \(W\) if every point \(p\) on this curve belongs to a diameter pair, i.e., the partner of \(p\) at maximal distance on the curve has distance \(W\) from \(p\), not depending on \(p\). Then \(W\) will be the diameter of the curve. For such curves the well-known Blaschke-Lebesgue theorem is extended to the hyperbolic plane, stating that the Reuleux triangle (defined in the obvious way) encloses the smallest area among all piecewise regular curves of the same constant width. It should be pointed out that for the proof a new technique had to be developed because the method used by \textit{H. G. Eggleston} [Q. J. Math., Oxf. II. Ser. 3, 296-297 (1952; Zbl 0048.16604)] in the Euclidean case cannot be transferred easily to the hyperbolic case.
