The Löwner function of a log-concave function

From MaRDI portal

Abstract: We introduce the notion of Loewner (ellipsoid) function for a log concave function and show that it is an extension of the Loewner ellipsoid for convex bodies. We investigate its duality relation to the recently defined John (ellipsoid) function by Alonso-Gutierrez, Merino, Jimenez and Villa. For convex bodies, John and Loewner ellipsoids are dual to each other. Interestingly, this need not be the case for the John function and the Loewner function.


The authors introduce the notion of Löwner (ellipsoid) function for a log-concave function, as an extension of the Löwner ellipsoid for convex bodies. The main results refer to the fact that, for convex bodies, John and Löwner ellipsoids are dual to each other, but it is not necessarily the case for the John and Löwner functions.
