Tensor Valuations and Their Applications in Stochastic Geometry and Imaging

The purpose of this volume is to give an up-to-date introduction to tensor valuations and their applications. Starting with classical results concerning scalar-valued valuations on the families of convex bodies and convex polytopes, it proceeds to the mod

Preface

The purpose of this volume is to give an up-to-date introduction to tensor valuations and their applications on a graduate level. A valuation is a finitely additive mapping. Since Dehn’s use of real-valued valuations to give a negative answer to Hilbert’s third problem in 1900, the theory of valuations has been extended considerably and found widespread use in applied sciences like biology, materials sciences, medicine and physics. At the end of the twentieth century, McMullen an
