Abstracat

We study dual isoperimetric deficits of star bodies. We introduce the dual Steiner ball of a star body, and use it to establish an inequality for the Lp distance, p = 2 and p = ∞, between the radial functions of two convex bodies. By applying this inequality, we find dual Bonnesen-type inequalities for convex bodies. Finally, we use a general form of Grüss's inequality to derive dual Favard-type inequalities for star and convex bodies. The results contribute to the dual Brunn–Minkowski theory initiated by E. Lutwak, and continue the attempt to understand the relation between this and the classical Brunn–Minkowski theory.
