Findings
New proof of Ader's characterization of minimal Banach-Mazur ellipses.
Establishes a relation between extremal contact points and Chebyshev alternance.
Provides insights into geometric optimization in normed planes.
Abstract
We provide a new proof of Ader's characterisation of the ellipse of minimal Banach-Mazur distance to the unit circle of a normed plane in terms of contact and extremal points. Our method reveals the relation of this problem to the Chebyshev alternance.
