This paper deals with processes of combining convex bodies in Euclidean n-space which are, in a sense, dual to the process of Minkowski addition and some of its generalizations.All the convex bodies considered will have a common interior point Q. Variables x and y denote vectors drawn from Q; we shall speak of their terminal points as the points x and y. Unit vectors will be denoted by u; ||x|| signifies the length of x. Convex bodies will be symbolized by K with distinguishing marks. ∂K means the boundary of K. λK will mean the image of K under a homothetic transformation in the ratio λ : 1. The centre of the homothety will always be Q.
