A Rotational Crofton Formula for Flagged Intrinsic Volumes of Sets of Positive Reach

by Jérémy Auneau-Cognacq
CSGB Research Reports Number 5 (July 2010)

A rotational Crofton formula is derived relating the flagged intrinsic volumes of a compact set of positive reach with the flagged intrinsic volumes measured on sections passing through a fixed point. In particular cases, the flagged intrinsic volumes defined in the present paper are identical to the classical intrinsic volumes. The tight connection between our main result and other recent rotational integral formulae involving intrinsic volumes is pointed out.
