Streszczenie
We investigate a two-parameter family of relative normals that contains Manhart's one-parameter family and the centroaffine normal. The invariance group of each of these normals is classified, and variational problems are studied. The results are Euler-Lagrange equations for the hypersurfaces that are critical with respect to the area functionals of the induced and semi-Riemannian volume forms and a classification of the critical hyperovaloids in the two-parameter family.
