Convex Bodies with Many Elliptic Sections
Journal of convex analysis, Tome 24 (2017) no. 2, pp. 685-693
We show in this paper that two normal elliptic sections through every point of the boundary of a smooth convex body essentially characterize an ellipsoid and furthermore, that four different pairwise non-tangent elliptic sections through every point of the C2-differentiable boundary of a convex body also essentially characterize an ellipsoid.
