Abstract

Let the set C in the Euclidean space of.n dimensions be closed, symmetric under reflection in the origin, and convex. The portion of the surface of the unit ball lying in C is shown to decrease in (the uniform) surface measure when C is replaced by AC, the image of C under any linear transformation A with norm no greater than one. Some cases of equality are discussed, and an application is given.
