\(L_p\)-dual mixed quermassintegrals (Q2572643)

Let \(K,L\) be star bodies in \({\mathbb R}^n\), let \(p\geq 1\) and \(i\not= n,n+p\). Employing the harmonic (radial) \(p\)-combination studied by Firey and Lutwak, the authors are led to introduce what they call \(L_p\)-dual mixed quermassintegrals. In terms of the radial function \(\rho\), these can be represented as \[ \widetilde{W}_{-p,i}(K,L) = \frac{1}{n} \int_{S^{n-1}} \rho_K^{n+p-i}(u)\rho_L^{-p}(u) \,dS(u) \] (where \(S\) is spherical Lebesgue measure on the unit sphere \(S^{n-1}\)). For these functionals, the authors prove some inequalities which are counterparts to results of \textit{E. Lutwak} [J. Differ. Geom. 38, 131--150 (1993; Zbl 0788.52007)] on mixed \(p\)-quermassintegrals.
