THE ISOPERIMETRIC QUOTIENT OF A CONVEX BODY DECREASES MONOTONICALLY UNDER THE EIKONAL ABRASION MODEL
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 August 2018
Abstract
We show that under the Eikonal abrasion model, prescribing uniform normal speed in the direction of the inward surface normal, the isoperimetric quotient of a convex shape is decreasing monotonically.
