Let Kr denote the curve obtained from Cr by shrinking the latter toward the point6 w = ao in the ratio 1: r. Then the minimum curvature of Kr increases monotonically as r decreases; both maximum and minimum curvature of Kr approach the limit 1/Ia! as r approaches zero. Whether C is convex or not, the greatest distance from aO to a point of Kr decreases monotonically as r decreases, and approaches 1/jaj as r approaches zero; the least distance from aO to a point of Kr increases monotonically as r decreases, provided aO is interior to Kr, and approaches 1/Ia! as r approaches zero.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
