Abstract

In this paper, the moment-entropy inequality for isotropic measures and the functional dual Loomis–Whitney inequality are established. These two inequalities are functional versions of geometric inequalities recently obtained by the authors (Li and Huang in Bull Lond Math Soc 48:676–690, 2016).
