Estimating covering functionals of convex bodies is an important part of Chuanming Zong s quantitative program for attacking Hadwiger s covering conjecture. Estimations of covering functionals of cones and double cones, which are best possible for certain pairs of m and K, are presented. MSC: Primary 5A0; secondary 5A5; 5A40; 5C7 Keywords: Banach Mazur distance; Compact convex cones; Convex body; Covering; Hadwiger s covering conjecture Introduction A compact convex set K Rn having interior points is called a convex body. The interior and boundary of K are denoted by int K and bd K, respectively. We write Kn for the set of convex bodies in Rn. Concerning the least number ck) of translates of int K needed to cover a convex body K, there is a long-standing conjecture: Conjecture Hadwiger s covering conjecture) For each K Kn, ck) is bounded from above by n, and this upper bound is attained only by parallelotopes. We refer to [ 4], and [5] for more information and references about this conjecture. Note that, for each K Kn, ck) equals the least number of smaller homothetic copies of K needed to cover K see, e.g., [, p. 6, Theorem 4.]). Therefore, ck) m for some m Z+ if and only if m K) <, where m K) is defined by m K) = min γ > 0 : {xi : i =,..., m} R s.t. K n m xi + γ K) i= and called the covering functional of K with respect to m. A closely related concept is studied in functional analysis. Given a bounded subset M of a normed space E with unit ball B, the m-th entropy number εm M) of M is defined by cf. [6, p. 6 7]) m εm M) = inf ε > 0 : M εb + xi ) holds for suitable x,..., xm E. i= The Authors) 08.

2 Wu and Xu Journal of Inequalities and Applications 08) 08:86 Page of 9 When K is a translate of the unit ball B of a finite-dimensional normed space E, wehave Ɣ m K)=ε m K). Clearly, for each m Z +, Ɣ m ) is affinely invariant. More precisely, Ɣ m K)=Ɣ m TK) ), T A n, where A n is the set of non-degenerate affine transformations from R n to R n.thuswe identify convex bodies that are affinely equivalent, and when writing K n we are actually referring to the quotient space of K n with respect to affine equivalence. For each pair K, K of convex bodies in K n,thebanach Mazur distance d BM K, K ) alsocalledtheasplund metric, cf.[7]) between them is defined by d BM K, K ):=ln min { γ :K TK ) γ K + x, x R n, T A n}. Then K n, d BM ) is a compact metric space cf. [8]and[7]). Zong cf. [9]) proved that Ɣ m ) is uniformly continuous on K n. Bezdek and Khan improved this result by showing that Ɣ m ) is Lipschitz continuous on K n with n )/ ln n) as a Lipschitz constant cf. [0]). These results show that each K K n can be covered by at most n smaller homothetic copies of K if and only if cn):=sup { Ɣ nk):k K n} <. Due to these facts, estimating covering functionals of convex bodies is an important part of Zong s quantitative program for attacking Hadwiger s covering conjecture cf. [9] for more details). Our starting point is Theorem in [9]: Ɣ 8 C) when C is a three-dimensional convex cone the convex hull of the union of a planar convex body K and a singleton not contained in the plane containing K). By applying new ideas, we show that this estimation can be improved when Ɣ 7 K)<, and that this estimation can be extended to higher dimensional situations. Moreover, we also obtain an estimation of Ɣ m C)whenC is a double cone. Covering functionals of convex cones We start with an elementary lemma. Lemma Let K R n be a convex set, x R n, and λ, γ [0, ]. Then x + γ K) K λx +λγ + λ)k. Proof Let z be an arbitrary point in x + γ K) K.Thenz x γ K and z K. Therefore z λx = λz x)+ λ)z λγ K + λ)k =λγ + λ)k. It follows that z λx +λγ + λ)k.

LetK beaconvexbodyink n containing the origin o in its interior, and p be a point in R n+ \ R n {0}.PutC = convk {0}) {p}), i.e., C is the cone having p as a vertex and whose base is K. Lemma Suppose that m Z +, γ, λ 0, ), μ [λ,], z = μȳ,0) + μ)p forsome ȳ K, and that {ū i : i [m]} R n is a set of points satisfying K ū i + γ K). Thenthere exists such that z λū i,0)+λγ + λ)c.

For two numbers satisfying 0 λ λ, we put C λ,λ = { λ x,0)+ λ)p : x K, λ [λ, λ ] }. It is not difficult to verify that C = C 0,. And when 0 λ λ andλ 0,wehave C λ,λ = { λ x,0)+ λ)p : x K, λ [λ, λ ] } { λ = λ x,0)+ λ } p : x K, λ [λ, λ ] λ λ

Now we consider the case when λ := λ 0, ) and λ =.Thereexistsasetofmpoints {ū i : i [m]} R n such that K ū i + γ K). Let z be an arbitrary point in C λ,. Then there exist ȳ K and μ [λ,] such that z = μȳ,0)+ μ)p. Lemma shows that there exists i [m]suchthat z λū i,0)+λγ + λ)c. It follows that C λ, can be covered by m translates of λγ + λ)c. When 0 < λ < λ, 4) showsthatc λ,λ is a translate of λ C λ /λ,), which can be covered by m translates of λ λ γ + λ ) C =λ γ + λ λ )C. λ λ Theorem 4 Suppose that m Z + and γ = Ɣ m K). Then Ɣ m+ C) γ. Proof Put λ =/ γ ). Then, by 4), C 0,λ can be covered by a translate of λc, andc λ, can be covered by m translates of λγ + λ)c = λc. Thus Ɣ m+ C) λ. Remark 5WhenK isaplanarconvexbody,wehavethatɣ 7 K) /. Moreover, if K is centrally symmetric, then we always have Ɣ 7 K)=/see[]). Therefore, for a convex cone C in R having a planar convex body as a base, we have Ɣ 8 C) /, an estimation which was already obtained by Chuanming Zong in [9]. It is also mentioned in [] that Ɣ 7 K) = 5/ when K is a triangle. Therefore, when T is a tetrahedron, we have Ɣ 8 T)

Theorem 6 Let C be a double cone defined as above. Then Ɣ m+ C) Proof Put Ɣ m K). γ = Ɣ m K) and λ = Ɣ m K). Then λ /, ). Without loss of generality we may assume that [p, q]intersectsk {0} in the origin o of R n+. By applying a suitable non-singular affine transformation if necessary, we may assume that p = e n+ and q = αe n+,whereα is a positive number. Suppose that [β, β ] [ α,].put C β β = { z C :z e n+ ) [β, β ] }. Then it is clear that C = C λ C λ)α α C λ)α. First we show that C λ λc + λ)e n+. Let z be an arbitrary point in C λ.ifz = p,thenzis clearly in λc + λ)p. In the following we assume that λ z e n+ )<.

A similar estimation is also provided for double cones. These estimations are optimal for particular pairs of m and K, are better than existing estimations, but they are not always optimal. In the authors opinion, it is interesting to do the following: provide better estimations of the covering functionals of cones and double cones, characterize convex bodies that
