Extract

When K is a convex body in d-dimensional euclidean space E and 0 ≤ s ≤ d, the s-skeleton of K, denoted skel(s)K, consists of those points of K which are not centres of (s + l)-dimensional balls contained in K. The s-skeleton is thus the union of the extreme faces of K having dimension at most s. The s-skeleton is a -set [see 6] and it is therefore measurable with respect to the s-dimensional Hausdorff measure ℋ(s) [see 7]; here we normalize ℋ(s) so that it assigns unit measure to the s-dimensional unit cube.
