Key Result

Theorem 1

A functional $Z:\mathcal{K}^2\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is an upper semicontinuous and rigid motion invariant valuation if and only if there exist constants $c_0,c_1,c_2\in\mathbb{R}$ and a function $\zeta\in \mathop{\mathrm{Conc([0,\infty))}}\nolimits$ such that for every $K\in\mathcal{K}^2$.
