Abstract: We consider a functional $mathcalF$ on the space of convex bodies in $R^n$ defined as follows: $mathcalF(K)$ is the integral over the unit sphere of a fixed continuous functions $f$ with respect to the area measure of the convex body $K$. We prove that if $mathcalF$ satisfies an inequality of Brunn--Minkowski type, then $f$ is the support function of a convex body, i.e., $mathcalF$ is a mixed volume. As a consequence, we obtain a characterization of translation invariant, continuous valuations which are homogeneous of degree $n-1$ and satisfy a Brunn--Minkowski type inequality.
