Abstract: Let $mathcalC$ be the family of compact convex subsets $S$ of the hemisphere in $n$ with the property that $S$ contains its dual $S^{\ast };$ let $uin{S}^{\ast }$, and let $Phi(S,u)=frac2omeg{a}_{n}in{t}_S<heta,u>,,dsigma(heta).$ The problem to study $$ is considered. It is proved that the minima of $Phi$ are sets of constant width $pi/2$ with $u$ on their boundary. More can be said for $n=3$: the minimum set is a Reuleaux triangle on the sphere. The previous problem is related to the one to find the maximal length of steepest descent curves for quasi convex functions, satisfying suitable constraints. For $n=2$ let us refer to cite{Manselli-Pucci}. Here quite different results are obtained for $ngeq3$.
