Interactions between Hlawka Type-1 and Type-2 quantities

Abstract

The classical Hlawka inequality possesses deep connections with zonotopes and zonoids in convex geometry, and has been related to Minkowski space. We introduce Hlawka Type-1 and Type-2 quantities, and establish a Hlawka-type relation between them, which connects a vast number of strikingly different variants of the Hlawka inequalities, such as Serre’s reverse Hlawka inequality in the future cone of the Minkowski space, the Hlawka inequality for subadditive function on abelian group by Ressel, and the integral analogs by Takahasi et al. Besides, we announce several en-hanced results, such as the Hlawka inequality for the power of measure function. Particularly, we give a complete study of the Hlawka inequality for quadratic form which relates to a work of Serre.
