On the X-ray Number of Almost Smooth Convex Bodies and of Convex Bodies of Constant Width

Abstract

AbstractThe X-ray numbers of some classes of convex bodies are investigated. In particular, we give a proof of the X-ray Conjecture as well as of the Illumination Conjecture for almost smooth convex bodies of any dimension and for convex bodies of constant width of dimensions 3, 4, 5 and 6.
