Abstract

In this paper we explore the concept of antipodality relative to a closed convex cone **. The problem under consideration is that of finding a pair of unit vectors in K achieving the maximal angle of the cone. We mention also a few words on the attainability of critical angles. By way of application of the general theory, we briefly discuss the problem of estimating the radius of pointedness of a cone.
