Abstract

For strictly increasing concave functions \({\varphi}\) whose inverse functions are log-concave, the \({\varphi}\)-Brunn–Minkowski inequality for planar convex bodies is established. It is shown that for convex bodies in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) the \({\varphi}\)-Brunn–Minkowski is equivalent to the \({\varphi}\)-Minkowski mixed volume inequalities.
