• Resumen

  • This is a survey of known results and still open problems on characteristic properties of classes of homothetic convex sets in the n-dimensional Euclidean space. These properties are formulated in terms of orthogonal projections, plane sections, homothety classes, Choquet simplices, and homothetic tilings and partitions.
