The study of this paper consists of two aspects. One is characterizing the so-called circular cone convexity of f by exploiting the second-order differentiability of f L ; the other is introducing the concepts of determinant and trace associated with circular cone and establishing their basic inequalities. These results show the essential role played by the angle , which gives us a new insight when looking into properties about circular cone. MSC:26A27, 26B05, 26B35, 49J52, 90C33, 65K05.

The dual Loomis-Whitney inequality provides the sharp lower bound for the volume of a convex body in terms of its $(n-1)$-dimensional coordinate sections. In this paper, some reverse forms of the dual Loomis-Whitney inequality are obtained. In particular, we show that the best universal DLW-constant for origin-symmetric planar convex bodies is $1$.

Corresponding to the Legendre ellipsoid and the LYZ ellipsoid, two new sine ellipsoids are introduced in this paper. These four ellipsoids are closely related in the Pythagorean relation and duality. Several volume inequalities and the valuation properties are obtained for two new ellipsoids.
