Abstract
We investigate the notion of generosity, a particular case of non-selfishness. Let
F be a family of sets in
Rk. A set
M⊂Rk is called
F-
convex if for any points
x,y∈M there is a set
F∈F such that
x,y∈F and
F⊂M. We call a family
F of compact sets
complete if
F contains all compact
F-convex sets. A single convex body
K will be called
generous, if the family of all convex bodies isometric to
K is not complete. We investigate here the generosity of convex bodies.
