In particular, the notions of mixed volume and mixed area measure arise naturally and the fundamental inequalities that are satisfied by mixed volumes are considered here in detail. The author presents a comprehensive introduction to convex bodies, including full proofs for some deeper theorems. The book provides hints and pointers to connections with other fields and an exhaustive reference list. This second edition has been considerably expanded to reflect the rapid developments of the past two decades. It includes new chapters on valuations on convex bodies, on extensions like the Lp Brunn-Minkowski theory, and on affine constructions and inequalities. There are also many supplements and updates to the original chapters, and a substantial expansion of chapter notes and references. 410 0$aEncyclopedia of mathematics and its applications ;$vv. 151. 606 $aConvex bodies 615 0$aConvex bodies. 676 $a516.3/74 700 $aSchneider$b Rolf$f1940-$01140742 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825016003321 996 $aConvex bodies$94106671 997 $aUNINA
