With each non-empty compact convex subset K of Ed is associated a Steiner point, s(K), defined by

where u is a variable unit vector, a is a fixed unit vector, H(u, K) is the supporting function of K and dw is an element of surface area of the unit sphere Sd-1 centred at the origin (see [2]). For notational convenience, we put s(Ø) = 0.
