Abstract: It is well known that in n-dimensional Euclidean space (ngeq2) the classes of (diametrically) complete sets and of bodies of constant width coincide. Due to this, they both form a proper subfamily of the class of reduced bodies. For n-dimensional Minkowski spaces, this coincidence is no longer true if ngeq3. Thus, the question occurs whether for ngeq3 any complete set is reduced. Answering this in the negative for ngeq3, we construct (2k1)-dimensional (kgeq2) complete sets which are not reduced.
