<p>Suppose $K$ is a centrally symmetric, strictly convex body in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Let denote the curvature and the support function of $\partial K$, boundary of $K$, respectively with $\kappa$ and $s$. If $m\le\frac{\kappa}{s^3}(K)\le M$ for some positive numbers $m$ and $M$, does it mean there are ellipsoids $E_1$ and $E_2$ such that $E_1\subseteq K\subseteq E_2$ and $$\frac{\kappa}{s^3}({E_1})=M,~~~ \frac{\kappa}{s^3}(E_2)=m ~~~~? $$</p>

<p>Suppose $K$ is an $n$-dimensional $C^2$ convex body in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. We choose two distinct directions $z_0, z_1\in\mathbb{S^{n}}$. If $P_1$ and $P_2$ are the corresponding hyperplanes($z_0\perp P_1$ and $z_1\perp P_2$) and $K'$ is the projection of $K$ on $P_1\cap P_2$, what is the $Vol(K')$? We know the support function, and for simplicity let's suppose the body is symmetric and centered at the origin. If we just consider one hyperplane say, $P_0$, and want to compute the area of projection of $K$ on $P_0$ then the answer is $\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathbb{S}^{n-1}}\frac{|\langle z,z_0\rangle|}{G}d\mu$ where $G$ is the Guass curvature of the boundary of $K$. I am looking for a solution of this type, possibly involving other symmetric functions of principle curvatures.</p>

<p>Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional hypersurface in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$, such that principal curvatures are bounded from below by a constant $\delta$. Is there any lower bound on the curvature of the curves on $M$? Curves should be intersection of a two plane and the manifold.</p>

I am terribly sorry. The range of f is positive real numbers.

Using the affine normal vector: $\xi=:-h^{ki}\partial_i\mathcal{K}^{1/(n+2)}\partial_kX+\mathcal{K}^{1/(n+2)}\nu$, here $X:\mathcal{M}\to\mathcal{R}^{n+1}$ is an embedding and $\nu$ is the inward normal vector to $\mathcal{M}.$

I asked her, but I wanted to be sure that I am not missing any known results. Thanks.

I know of that paper. In her paper she obtained those inequalities based on short time existence of the flow not long time existence. Any other example?

$o$ mean composed and $K$ the Guass curvature is the determinant of $A[s]$ with respect to $\bar{g}.$

if it is not embedded then it develops a self intersection. so there must be a piece of curve that has negative curvature but \gamma_{ss} is a convex curve, not strict convex though. lemma 7 the same paper as above( on affine plane curve evolution).

I think $\int_{\gamma}\mathcal{K}ds$ is twice the volume of the body enclosed by $\gamma_{ss}.$ Please kindly see equation (21) in <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022123684710044" rel="nofollow">sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/&hellip;</a> in this paper $\mu$ stands for the affine curvature.

@Ben McKay i understood what you mean, i changed my notations.

@Will Jagy , for example, if $\gamma$ is an origin symmetric curve, then condition 21b is satisfied, thus an optimal length minimizing special linear transformation applied to $\gamma\in K_{\pi}$ should make both support function and curvature of $\gamma$ uniformly bounded with some absolute constants. that is what I understood, sounds weird to me.

@Sergei Ivanov $\mathcal{K}/s^{n+1}$ is called centro-affine curvature.

@Sergei Ivanov I believe if $E\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ is an ellipsoid centered at the origin then $\mathcal{K}/s^{n+1}$ is constant, where $\mathcal{K}$ is the Gauss curvature of $\partial K$ the boundary of $K$.
