23. [23] Although it is not germane to this discussion, we may mention that, among all ellipsoids that surround a convex structure, K, there exists exactly one that has minimum volume. This ellipsoid is called the minimum ellipsoid or Loewner ellipsoid of K. [See H. Buseman, The Geometry of Geodesies (Academic Press, New York, 1955), Sn. 16.]
