Abstract
We consider the class of λ-concave bodies in Rn+1; that is, convex bodies with the property that each of their boundary points supports a tangent ball of radius 1/λ that lies locally (around the boundary point) inside the body. In this class we solve a reverse isoperimetric problem: we show that the convex hull of two balls of radius 1/λ (a sausage body) is a unique volume minimizer among all λ-concave bodies of given surface area. This is in a surprising contrast to the standard isoperimetric problem for which, as it is well-known, the unique maximizer is a ball. We solve the reverse isoperimetric problem by proving a reverse quermassintegral inequality, the second main result of this paper.
