Title
Arrangements of Homothets of a Convex Body II.
Abstract
A family of homothets of an o-symmetric convex body K in d-dimensional Euclidean space is called a Minkowski arrangement if no homothet contains the center of any other homothet in its interior. We show that any pairwise intersecting Minkowski arrangement of a d-dimensional convex body has at most 2 . 3(d) members. This improves a result of Polyanskii (Discrete Mathematics 340 (2017), 1950-1956). Using similar ideas, we also give a proof the following result of Polyan- skii: Let , K-1, ... ,K-n be a sequence of homothets of the o-symmetric convex body K, such that for any i < j, the center of K-j lies on the boundary of K-i. Then n = O(3(d)d).
