    Inradius and circumradius of various convex cones arising in applications
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2010) Henrion, René; Seeger, Alberto
    This note addresses the issue of computing the inradius and the circumradius of a convex cone in a Euclidean space. It deals also with the related problem of finding the incenter and the circumcenter of the cone. We work out various examples of convex cones arising in applications.

    Condition number and eccentricity of a closed convex cone
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2011) Henrion, René; Seeger, Alberto
    We discuss some extremality issues concerning the circumradius, the inradius, and the condition number of a closed convex cone in $mathbbR^n$. The condition number refers to the ratio between the circumradius and the inradius. We also study the eccentricity of a closed convex cone, which is a coefficient that measures to which extent the circumcenter differs from the incenter.

    On properties of different notions of centers for convex cones
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2010) Henrion, René; Seeger, Alberto
    The points on the revolution axis of a circular cone are somewhat special: they are the "most interior'' elements of the cone. This paper addresses the issue of formalizing the concept of center for a convex cone that is not circular. Four distinct proposals are studied in detail: the incenter, the circumcenter, the inner center, and the outer center. The discussion takes place in the context of a reflexive Banach space.
