In mathematics, a Borel measure μ on n-dimensional Euclidean space
where λ A + (1 − λ) B denotes the Minkowski sum of λ A and (1 − λ) B.
Examples
The Brunn–Minkowski inequality asserts that the Lebesgue measure is log-concave. The restriction of the Lebesgue measure to any convex set is also log-concave.
By a theorem of Borell, a measure is log-concave if and only if it has a density with respect to the Lebesgue measure on some affine hyperplane, and this density is a logarithmically concave function. Thus, any Gaussian measure is log-concave.
The Prékopa–Leindler inequality shows that a convolution of log-concave measures is log-concave.
