On the relationship between volume and surface area

Joseph N. Krenicky and Jan Rychtář

Vol. 3 (2010), No. 1, 1–8
Abstract

We show that the statement that the surface area is the derivative of the volume, which is well known for a ball, can be generalized and stated in a proper way for any set with finite volume and surface area. We also provide a specific statement for star-shaped sets.

Keywords
volume, surface, star-shaped sets
