Novel view on classical convexity theory

Abstract: Let

B_{x} s u b s e t e q m a t h b b R^{n}

denote the Euclidean ball with diameter

[0, x]

, i.e. with with center at

f r a c x 2

and radius

f r a c l e f t | x i g h t | 2

. We call such a ball a petal. A flower

F

is any union of petals, i.e.

for any set

A s u b s e t e q m a t h b b R^{n}

. We showed in previous work that the family of all flowers

m a t h c a l F

is in 1-1 correspondence with

m a t h c a l K_{0}

- the family of all convex bodies containing

0

. Actually, there are two essentially different such correspondences. We demonstrate a number of different non-linear constructions on

m a t h c a l F

and

m a t h c a l K_{0}

. Towards this goal we further develop the theory of flowers.
