On the perimeter of k pairwise disjoint convex bodies contained in a convex set in the plane

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We prove the following isoperimetric inequality in R2, conjectured by Glazyrin and Morić. Given a convex body S and k pairwise disjoint convex bodies C1,..,Ck that are contained in S, then Σi=1 kPer(Ci)≤Per(S)+2(k—1)Diam(S). Here Per(.) denotes the perimeter of a set and Diam(.) is the diameter of a set.
