The Brunn–Minkowski inequality for volume differences

open access: yesAdvances in Applied Mathematics, 2004
Suppose that \(K\), \(L\), \(D\), \(D'\) are compact domains in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) such that \(D\) and \(D'\) are homothetic and convex and \(D\subset K\), \(D'\subset L\). It is proved (in a more general form) that for the volume \(V\) one has \[ ((V(K+ L)- V(D+ D'))^{1/n}\geq (V(K)- V(D))^{1/n}+ (V(L)- V(D'))^{1/n}.
