Brunn–Minkowski Inequality<br />

This section contains modern developments in the context of the Brunn–Minkowski<br />

inequality.<br />

The Prékopa–Leindler Inequality<br />

The following inequality of Prékopa [817] <strong>and</strong> Leindler [645] may be considered<br />

as an extension of the Brunn–Minkowski inequality to integrals. It leads to the socalled<br />

multiplicative Brunn–Minkowski inequality which is equivalent to the ordinary<br />

Brunn–Minkowski inequality in the more general case of compact sets, see<br />

below.<br />

Theorem 8.14. Let f, g, h be non-negative Borel functions on E d <strong>and</strong> 0
