Abstract: The interplay between variational functionals and the Brunn - Minkowski Theory is currently a well-established phenomenon that has been widely investigated in the last thirty years. In this work, we prove the existence of solutions to the even logarithmic Minkowski problems arising from functionals such as the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian and the torsional rigidity. In particular, we lay down a blueprint showing that the same result holds for more generic functionals by adapting the volume case from B"or"oczky, Lutwak, Yang, and Zhang. We show how these results imply self-similar solutions to variational flow problems `a la Firey's worn stone problem. We conclude with showing analogues of Minkowski's first inequality for such functionals.
