Area of a $r$-tubular neighborhood of a union of convex sets

104 Views Asked by At

Consider $P_i$ which is a regular $i$-gon in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and whose diameter is $1$.

Define a compact set $X$ to be a union of convex hulls of copies of $P_i,\ i\geq 3$, which is in some rectangle $[0,100]^2\subset \mathbb{R}^2$.

i) Prove that there is $D$ s.t.

${\rm length}\ \partial X <D$

where $D$ is independent of $X$

ii) Then prove that $X$ has $\epsilon =\epsilon (X)>0$ s.t. any $0<r<\epsilon$ implies that $r$-tubular neighborhood $U_r(X)$ has

$$ {\rm area}\ U_r(X) \leq {\rm area}\ X + Cr$$

Here $C$ is independent of $X$.
