contents Let $C\subset \mathbb{S}^2$ be a spherical convex body of constant width $τ$. It is known that (i) if $τ<π/2$ then for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists a spherical convex body $C_\varepsilon$ of constant width $τ$ whose boundary consists only of arcs of circles of radius $τ$ such that the Hausdorff distance between $C$ and $C_\varepsilon$ is at most $\varepsilon$; (ii) if $τ>π/2$ then for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists a spherical convex body $C_\varepsilon$ of constant width $τ$ whose boundary consists only of arcs of circles of radius $τ-\fracπ{2}$ and great circle arcs such that the Hausdorff distance between $C$ and $C_\varepsilon$ is at most $\varepsilon$. In this paper, we present an approximation of the remaining case $τ=π/2$, that is, if $τ=π/2$ then for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists a spherical polytope $\mathcal{P}_\varepsilon$ of constant width $π/2$ such that the Hausdorff distance between $C$ and $\mathcal{P}_\varepsilon$ is at most $\varepsilon$.

Let $C\subset \mathbb{S}^2$ be a spherical convex body of constant width $τ$. It is known that (i) if $τ<π/2$ then for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists a spherical convex body $C_\varepsilon$ of constant width $τ$ whose boundary consists only of arcs of circles of radius $τ$ such that the Hausdorff distance between $C$ and $C_\varepsilon$ is at most $\varepsilon$; (ii) if $τ>π/2$ then for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists a spherical convex body $C_\varepsilon$ of constant width $τ$ whose boundary consists only of arcs of circles of radius $τ-\fracπ{2}$ and great circle arcs such that the Hausdorff distance between $C$ and $C_\varepsilon$ is at most $\varepsilon$. In this paper, we present an approximation of the remaining case $τ=π/2$, that is, if $τ=π/2$ then for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists a spherical polytope $\mathcal{P}_\varepsilon$ of constant width $π/2$ such that the Hausdorff distance between $C$ and $\mathcal{P}_\varepsilon$ is at most $\varepsilon$.
