What is the smallest ball where a convex body of given diameter belongs to?

30 Views Asked by At

Let the diameter of the convex body $K$ be $c.$ It's easy to see that if the convex body is symmetric, then the convex body belongs to a ball $B(y,c/2).$ This bound is sharp in every dimension. But what if the convex body is not symmetric? Are the sharp bounds known for every dimension for $K \subset B(y,a)$? Second question: The unique extremal case must be the simplex? So what is the smallest ball that includes the standard simplex?
