摘要
It is the aim of the paper to generalize the Minkowski addition, and more general, the Minkowski linear combination for a pair of convex bodies M1 and M2 in the euclidean n-space to non-Euclidean geometry. We succeed in the spherical case for arbitrary spherically convex bodies, whereas in the hyperbolic case the class of hyperbolically convex bodies has to be restricted in a suitable way. Practical computation of these operations for M1 and M2 is indicated after representation of their boundaries ∂M1 and ∂M2 with the help of certain support functions.
