Review text

Starting point is the inequality \(0\geq V-rS+(n-1) r^n\omega_n\) for the volume \(V\), surface area \(S\) and inradius \(r\) of a convex body in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), where \(\omega_n\) is the volume of the unit ball \(B\) in \(\mathbb{R}^n\). It was deduced 1973 by Bokowski and Diskant, independently, from an inequality of Hadwiger. The author mentions some improvements of the inequality from the literature and then proves two new stronger versions. One of them is \[ 0\geq V-rS+n \sum^{n-2}_{i=0} \int^r_0 tV(K_{-t}, \dots, K_{-t}, K,\dots, K,B,B) dt, \] where the inner parallel body \(K_{-t}\) in the mixed volume appears \(i\) times. The various improvements are compared according to their strength. In the course of the proof, upper and lower bounds for volumes of inner parallel bodies are obtained.
