Abstract

The dual Minkowski problem for even data asks what are the necessary and sufficient conditions on a prescribed even measure on the unit sphere for it to be the q-th dual curvature measure of an origin-symmetric convex body in Rn. A full solution to this is given when 1<q<n. The necessary and sufficient conditions turn out to be an explicit measure concentration condition. To obtain the results, a variational approach is used, where the functional is the sum of a dual quermassintegral and an entropy integral. The proof requires two crucial estimates. The first is an estimate of the entropy integral which is obtained by using a spherical partition. The second is a sharp estimate of the dual quermassintegrals for a carefully chosen barrier convex body.
