Review text

The Minkowski problem for polytopes concerns the existence and uniqueness, up to translations, of a convex polytope with given normal vectors and areas of its facets. The classical approach first settles the existence by solving an extremal problem and then establishes the essential uniqueness by employing a fundamental result of the Brunn-Minkowski theory of mixed volumes, namely Minkowski's first inequality and its equality condition. In the present paper, the author gives a proof by induction with respect to the dimension which yields simultaneously the solution of the Minkowski problem and the Minkowski inequality with equality condition (for polytopes).
