It was shown by Sas (1) that, if K is a plane convex body, then it is possible to inscribe in K a convex n-gon occupying no less a fraction of its area than the regular n-gon occupies in its circumscribing circle. It is the object of this note to establish the n-dimensional analogue of Sas's result, giving incidentally an independent proof of the plane case. The proof is a simple application of the Steiner method of symmetrization.

Let C be a convex body in the Euclidean plane. By the relative distance of points p and q we mean the ratio of the Euclidean distance of p and q to the half of the Euclidean length of a longest chord of C parallel to pq. In this note we find the least upper bound of the minimum pairwise relative distance of six points in a plane convex body.

Two-dimensional steepest descent curves (SDC) for a quasiconvex family are considered; the problem of their extensions (with constraints) outside of a convex bodyKis studied. It is shown that possible extensions are constrained to lie inside of suitable bounding regions depending onK. These regions are bounded by arcs of involutes of∂Kand satisfy many inclusions properties. The involutes of the boundary of an arbitrary plane convex body are defined and written by their support function. Extensions SDC of minimal length are constructed. Self-contracting sets (with opposite orientation) are considered: necessary and/or sufficient conditions for them to be subsets of SDC are proved.
