Logarithmically concave measure information


In mathematics, a Borel measure μ on n-dimensional Euclidean space is called logarithmically concave (or log-concave for short) if, for any compact subsets A and B of and 0 < λ < 1, one has

where λ A + (1 − λB denotes the Minkowski sum of λ A and (1 − λB.[1]
