Abstract: Let

O m e g a s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{n}

be a convex domain and let

f : O m e g a i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b R

be a positive, subharmonic function (i.e.

D e l t a f g e q 0

). Then

frac{1}{|Omega|} int_{Omega}{f dx} leq frac{c_n}{ |partial Omega| } int_{partial Omega}{ f dsigma},

where

c_{n} l e q 2 n^{3 / 2}

. This inequality was previously only known for convex functions with a much larger constant. We also show that the optimal constant satisfies

c_{n} g e q n - 1

. As a byproduct, we establish a sharp geometric inequality for two convex domains where one contains the other

O m e g a_{2} s u b s e t O m e g a_{1} s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{n}

:

frac{|partial Omega_1|}{|Omega_1|} frac{| Omega_2|}{|partial Omega_2|} leq n.

Review text

In this paper, it iss proved that: If \(\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n\) is a convex domain and \(f: \Omega \to \mathbb{R}\) is positive and subharmonic function, then \[\frac1{\mid \Omega \mid}\int_{\Omega} f(x)dx \le \frac{c_n}{\mid \partial \Omega\mid}\int_{\partial \Omega} f\sigma d\sigma,\] where \(c_n \le 2n^{3/2}\). This inequality has been known for convex functions with much larger constant, however in this paper it was shown that the optimal constant satisfies \(c_n \ge n-1.\) As a consequence of the above result, the authors established a sharp geometric inequality for two convex domains where one contains the other \(\Omega_2 \subset \Omega_1 \subset \mathbb{R}^n\): \[\frac{\mid\partial\Omega_1\mid}{\mid\Omega_1\mid} \frac{\mid \Omega_2\mid}{\mid \partial\Omega_2 \mid} \le n.\]
