Review text

Two results are proved in this note. On the one hand, it is shown that the farthest point mapping is bijective and involutive on any right circular cylinder in \({\mathbb R}^3\) of radius \(r\) and height \(\leq r(\pi -2)\). On the other hand, for any cylinder \(C\) from \({\mathbb R}^{d+1}\) over a typical convex body \(K\subset {\mathbb R}^d\) all points of bd\((K)\) except those in a set of first category are endpoints of \(C\).
