Abstract
Let \(K \subset \mathbb{R}^2 \) be a planar set having unit constant width and piecewise \(C^2 \)-smooth boundary. Then the area of the set of the points belonging to at least three diameters of K is at most \(\sqrt 3 /4\), and the area of the set of the points belonging to a unique diameter of K is at least \((2\pi - 3\sqrt 3 )/4\). In both cases, an equality is attained only if K is the Rellot triangle. Bibliography: 2 titles.
