Review text

Let \(C\) and \(D\) be two convex bodies in Euclidean \(n\)-space \(E^ n\). The Banach-Mazur distance between \(C\) and \(D\) is defined by \[ \rho(C,D)=\inf_{a, h_{\lambda}}\left\{\lambda; a(D)\subset C \subset h_{\lambda}(a(D))\right\}. \] Here \(a\) denotes an affine transformation and \(h_{\lambda}\) denotes a homothety with ratio \(\lambda\). In the paper under review, the author proves that the Banach-Mazur distance between arbitrary two convex quadrangles is at most 2, with the value 2 if and only if one of these quadrangles is a parallelogram and the other is a triangle. The author also conjectures that \(\rho(C,D)\leq 1+\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{5}\) for every \(C, D \subset E^ 2\), and the equality holds only for a triangle \(T\) and the regular pentagon \(P\).
