Planar radial mean bodies are convex
The radial mean bodies of parameter <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="p greater-than negative 1"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> <mml:mo>></mml:mo> <mml:mo> − </mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">p>-1</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> of a convex body <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper K subset-of-or-equal-to double-struck upper R Superscript n"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:mo> ⊆ </mml:mo> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mi mathvariant="double-struck">R</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">K \subseteq \mathbb {R}^n</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> are radial sets introduced by Gardner and Zhang [Amer.
