Extract

Blaschke [1] introduced the notion of maximal tetrahedra inscribed in two and three dimensional convex sets (maximal in the sense of volume). From this notion, he derived an inequality relating the volume of such maximal tetrahedra and the volume of the convex set, and used the inequality to characterize an ellipsoid and to obtain some results concerning isoperimetric inequalities.
