Abstract
Let be the unit sphere in and let be a spherical convex body of constant width . It is known that
(i) if then for any there exists a spherical convex body of constant width whose boundary consists only of arcs of circles of radius such that the Hausdorff distance between and is at most ;
(ii) if then for any there exists a spherical convex body of constant width whose boundary consists only of arcs of circles of radius and great circle arcs such that the Hausdorff distance between and is at most .
In this paper, we present an approximation of the remaining case , that is, if then for any there exists a spherical polygon of constant width such that the Hausdorff distance between and is at most .
