Abstract

A generalization of the following two facts is proved: the class of generalized zonoids is dense in the class of convex compact bodies with a centre of symmetry, and the class of generalized triangle bodies is dense in the class of all convex compact bodies (proved by Schneider). The main result is deduced from a more general representation theoretical statement.
