A reverse isoperimetric inequality for convex plane curves

From MaRDI portal
Publication:880244





Let \(\gamma\) be a strictly convex, closed planar curve with length \(L\) and bounding a region with area \(A\). The authors prove the following reverse isoperimetric inequality \[ L^2\leq 4\pi(A+| \Tilde A |), \] where \(\Tilde A\) denotes the oriented area of the domain enclosed by the locus of curvature centers of \(\gamma\), and the equality is attained if and only if \(\gamma\) is a circle. The authors study several interesting properties concerning the locus of the centers of curvature and then obtain the proof integrating the square of the radius of curvature and using both Cauchy's and Blaschke's integral formulas.
