Extract

The classical Blaschke-Petkanschin formula is a formula in integral geometry givmg a geometric measure decomposition of the q-fold product of Lebesgue measure. The original versions are due to Blaschke and Petkanschin in the 1930s. In Zähle (1990) and Jensen and Kiêu (1992), generalized versions have been derived, where Lebesgue measure is replaced by Hausdorff measure.
