• Convex bodyRelated: It records the furthest extent of a convex body along every direction.

• Reuleaux triangleRelated: Its directional values encode the equal supporting-line distances that define constant width.

• Barbier's theoremRelated: The difference of opposite support values encodes each directional width.

• Blaschke–Lebesgue theoremRelated: It encodes a convex body’s directional widths in a form used to analyze the theorem.

• Hyperplane separation theoremRelated: Support values express the inequalities that certify separation.

• Bipolar theoremRelated: Polar inequalities can be expressed through bounds on linear functionals.

• Four-vertex theoremRelated: It represents a convex curve in a way that makes its curvature accessible through derivatives.
