We study the Schneider non-convexity index of compact sets A R^n, defined to be the smallest >0 such that the sumset A+ conv (A) is convex. We compute a sharp lower bound on the index of the Minkowski sum of two compact sets in R, and establish a family of fractional subadditive inequalities for sums of m compact sets in R^n.
Mark Meyer (Fri,) studied this question.
