Relative width measures and the plank problem

Richard John Gardner

Vol. 135 (1988), No. 2, 299–312
Abstract

A relative width measure in a convex body K in R′′ for a set 6 of directions is a Borel probability measure in K such that the measure of the intersection of K with each slab orthogonal to a direction in 6 is equal to the relative width of the slab. Such measures are studied in connection with the unsolved plank problem of Th. Bang.
