The Dual Orlicz–Aleksandrov–Fenchel Inequality

In this paper, the classical dual mixed volume of star bodies V˜(K1,⋯,Kn) and dual Aleksandrov–Fenchel inequality are extended to the Orlicz space. Under the framework of dual Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski theory, we put forward a new affine geometric quantity by calculating first order Orlicz variation of the dual mixed volume, and call it Orlicz multiple dual mixed volume. We generalize the fundamental notions and conclusions of the dual mixed volume and dual Aleksandrov-Fenchel inequality to an Orlicz setting. The classical dual Aleksandrov-Fenchel inequality and dual Orlicz-Minkowski inequality are all special cases of the new dual Orlicz-Aleksandrov-Fenchel inequality. The related concepts of Lp-dual multiple mixed volumes and Lp-dual Aleksandrov-Fenchel inequality are first derived here. As an application, the dual Orlicz–Brunn–Minkowski inequality for the Orlicz harmonic addition is also established.

Determination of Boolean models by densities of mixed volumes

In Weil (2001) formulae were proved for stationary Boolean models Z in ℝd with convex or polyconvex grains, which express the densities (specific mean values) of mixed volumes of Z in terms of related mean values of the underlying Poisson particle process X. These formulae were then used to show that in dimensions 2 and 3 the densities of mixed volumes of Z determine the intensity γ of X. For d = 4, a corresponding result was also stated, but the proof given was incomplete, since in the formula for the density of the Euler characteristic V̅0(Z) of Z a term $\overline V^{(0)}_{2,2}(X,X)$ was missing. This was pointed out in Goodey and Weil (2002), where it was also explained that a new decomposition result for mixed volumes and mixed translative functionals would be needed to complete the proof. Such a general decomposition result has recently been proved by Hug, Rataj, and Weil (2013), (2018) and is based on flag measures of the convex bodies involved. Here, we show that such flag representations not only lead to a correct derivation of the four-dimensional result, but even yield a corresponding uniqueness theorem in all dimensions. In the proof of the latter we make use of Alesker’s representation theorem for translation invariant valuations. We also discuss which shape information can be obtained in this way and comment on the situation in the nonstationary case.

q-dual mixed volumes and L p -intersection bodies

In this paper, we introduce the new notions of {L_{p}} -intersection and mixed intersection bodies. Inequalities for the q-dual volume sum of {L_{p}} -mixed intersection bodies are established.
