SOME NEW BRUNN-MINKOWSKI-TYPE INEQUALITIES IN CONVEX BODIES ZHAO CHANG-JIAN, LENG GANGSONG, AND LOKENATH DEBNATH Received 17 August 2004 and in revised form 10 December 2004 We establish some analogues of the Brunn-Minkowski inequalities on convex bodies and the Minkowski inequality and their inverse versions. As an application, we generalize and improve some interrelated results. 1. Introduction The Brunn-Minkowski inequality theory plays an important role in a number of mathe- matical disciplines such as measure theory, crystallography, optimal control theory, func- tional analysis, and geometric convexity. It has many useful applications in combina- torics, stochastic geometry, and mathematical economics. In recent years, several authors including Ball [1, 2, 3], Bourgain and Lindenstrauss [7], Gardner [8, 9, 10], Schneider [25], Lutwak [12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23], have given considerable attention to the Brunn-Minkowski inequality theory and its various generalizations. The purpose of this paper is to establish some new-type Brunn- Minkowski inequalities and Minkowski inequalities and their inverse versions. As an ap- plication, we generalize and improve some interrelated results. Notation and preliminary works are given in Section 2. In Section 3.1, some new inequalities of width-integrals, with equality conditions for convex bodies and their inverse versions are established. And we also establish some sim- ilar inequalities for projection bodies. This work generalizes a result which was given in [13]. Most importantly, we find the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for polars of mixed projection bodies in the section. Generalizations and inverse versions of the dual Minkowski inequality and Brunn- Minkowski inequalities, with inequality conditions, for the radial Minkowski linear com- bination are presented in Section 3.2. These results generalize some results which were given by Lutwak [12, 17]. A ge
