Growth properties of \(p\)-th means of biharmonic Green potentials in the unit ball (Q1775257)

Recently, \textit{A. Colesanti} and \textit{P. Salani} [Math. Ann. 327, No. 3, 459--479 (2003; Zbl 1052.31005)] established a Brunn-Minkowski type inequality for the \(p\)-capacity (associated with the \(p\)-Laplace operator \(\text{div}(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u))\) of convex bodies in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), where \(1< p< n\). This paper deals with limiting case \(p= n\) by using a notion of \(n\)-dimensional logarithmic capacity \(c(\cdot)\) instead. It is shown that \(c(\lambda K_1+(1- \lambda)K_2)\geq\lambda c(K_1)+ (1-\lambda) c(K_2)\) for any two convex bodies \(K_1\), \(K_2\) and \(0\leq \lambda\leq 1\), where \(\alpha K_1+\beta K_2= \{\alpha x+\beta x: x\in K_1, y\in K_2\}\). Further, equality holds if and only if \(K_2\) is a translate and dilate of \(K_1\). In the case of logarithmic capacity in the plane, the inequality is due to \textit{C. Borell} [Ann. Sci. Ec. Norm. Supér., IV. Sér. 17, 451--467 (1984; Zbl 0573.60067)].
