Abstract

In 1993, E. Lutwak established a minimax inequality for inscribed cones of origin symmetric convex bodies. In this work, we re-prove Lutwak’s result using a maxmin inequality for circumscribed cylinders. Furthermore, we explore connections between the maximum volume of inscribed double cones of a centered convex body and the minimum volume of circumscribed cylinders of its polar body.
