Extremal problems for the solid angle
arXiv:1103.1727
Abstract
We consider the solid angle that a planar compact subset subtends at a point in a level set of height h and study two extremal problems for the solid angle. One of the variables is a point in such a plane, that is, we study the properties of the solid angle maximizer. The other is the pair of a planar compact subset and a point.
