The Band Around a Convex Set
A detailed proof of the following result is given: Let \(\gamma\) be a Jordan curve (i.e. simple, closed, plane curve) which has a parametrization \({\mathbf r}(t)\), \(t\in [a,b]\). Suppose the first derivative d\({\mathbf r}/\)d\(t\) exists and is nonzero everywhere, and the second derivative d\(^2{\mathbf r}/\)d\(t^2\) exists at every point, except finitely many. Then for any \(h>0\) there exists a Jordan curve \(\Gamma\) in the interior of \(\gamma\) such that the inward normal vector field of \(\Gamma\) is continuous, of constant length \(h\), and its head traverses \(\gamma\); the difference between the lengths of \(\Gamma\) and \(\gamma\) is \(2\pi h\); the region bounded by \(\Gamma\) and \(\gamma\) has area \(Lh+\pi h^2\), where \(L\) is the total length of \(\gamma\).
