In this paper, we demonstrate the existence part of the discrete Orlicz Minkowski problem, which is a non-trivial extension of the discrete Lp Minkowski problem for 0 < p < 1.

The relationship between Lp affine surface area and curvature measures is investigated. As a result, a new representation of the existing notion of Lp affine surface area depending only on curvature measures is derived. Direct proofs of the equivalence between this new representation and those previously known are provided. The proofs show that the new representation is, in a sense, “polar” to that of Lutwak’s and “dual” to that of Schutt & Werner’s.

The nth power of the volume functional Vnof polytopes P in R^n, according to dimensions of the spaces spanned by any nunit outer normal vectors of P, is decomposed into nhomogeneous polynomials of degree n. A set of new sharp affine isoperimetric inequalities for these volume decomposition functionals in R^3 are established, which essentially characterize the geometric and algebraic structures of polytopes.
