Özet
We show that the volume of the inner r-neighborhood of a polytope in the d-dimensional Euclidean space is a pluriphase Steiner-like function, i.e. a continuous piecewise polynomial function of degree d, thus proving a conjecture of Lapidus and Pearse. We discuss also the degree of differentiability of this function and give a lower bound in terms of the set of normal vectors of the hyperplanes defining the polytope. We also give sufficient conditions for the highest differentiability degree to be attained.
