The Characteristic Properties of the Minimal Lp-Mean Width by Tongyi Ma

“…Giannopoulos proved that a smooth convex body K has minimal mean width position if and only if the measure hK(u)σ(du), supported on Sn-1, is isotropic. Further, Yuan and Leng extended the minimal mean width to the minimal Lp-mean width and characterized the minimal position of convex bodies in terms of isotropicity of a suitable measure. …”
