Let $\cal F$ be a family of sets in $\R$. A set $M \subset \R$ is called $\cal F$-{\it convex} if for any points $x,y\in M$ there is a set $F\in \cal F$ such that $x,y\in F$ and $F\subset M$. We call a family $\cal F$ of compact sets {\it complete} if $\cal F$ contains all compact $\cal F$-convex sets. A single convex body $K$ will be called {\it generous}, if the family of all convex bodies isometric to $K$ is not complete. We investigate here the generosity of convex bodies. Keywords: F-convex, complete, generous, grateful. MSC: 52A10, 52A20. [ Fulltext-pdf  (820  KB)] for subscribers only.
