摘要

Given a normed plane X, a subset K of X is non-centerable if its diameter is smaller than twice its Chebyshev radius. We prove that for any non-centerable set K, the only Chebyshev center is the circumcenter of three points of K, which is an interior point of the convex hull of K. We give a simple and direct proof that the Jung constant of X is 4/3 if and only if the unit sphere is a regular hexagon. We present some examples of normed planes whose Jung constant is equal to \(2/\sqrt{3}\) 2 / 3 , as in the Ecuclidean case, in particular those whose unit sphere is invariant under rotations of angle \(\pi /6\) π / 6 radians. We compute some estimates of the Jung constant for different \(\ell _p\) p normed planes.
