Abstract
Here we extend a result by J. Bourgain, J. Lindenstrauss, V.D. Milman on the number of random Minkowski symmetrizations needed to obtain an approximated ball, if we start from an arbitrary convex body in ℝn. We also show that the number of “deterministic” symmetrizations needed to approximate an Euclidean ball may be significantly smaller than the number of “random” ones.
