We show that this dimension dependence may often be replaced (totally or partially) by different symmetry measures of the convex body. Since these coefficients are bounded by the dimension but possibly smaller, our inequalities sharpen the original ones. Since they can often be computed efficiently, the improved bounds may also be used to obtain better bounds in approximation algorithms.en2041-794220143559580Cambridge University PressMathematics - Metric GeometryMathematics - Metric GeometryComputer Science - Computational GeometryMathematikJournal Article10.1112/S00255793140002911310.4368v4Other
