Abstract

Let Ll …, Lr be independent linear subspaces of Ed, with di = dim Li ≥ 1 (i = 1, …, r), and Ed = L1 + … + Lr. For each i, let K¯;i be a convex body in Li with 0 ∈ K¯i, Ki = K¯i + ti(ti ∈ Ed) any translate of K¯i, and define K = con v (K1 ∪ … ∪ Kr), and similarl K¯. Then vol K ≥ vol K¯. Necessary and sufficient conditions for equality are also obtained.
