We investigate the differentiability of the quermassintegrals with respect to
the one-parameter family of the p-parallel bodies. As in the classical case,
we obtain that the volume is always differentiable. Although there is no
polynomial expression for a p-sum, the rest of quermassintegrals are
differentiable on positive values of the parameter too. We prove a sharp
lower bound for the derivative of the support function of the p-inner
parallel bodies along with equality conditions.
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.
