Starting with the Brunn-Minkowski inequality, fix \\(2\\le n\\le p<\\infty\\) and let \\(E\\subset\\mathbb{R}^n\\) be a convex, compact set. The authors define and prove the existence and uniqueness of the \\(\\mathcal{A}\\)-harmonic Green's function for the complement of \\(E\\) with pole at infinity. The authors also define a notion of capacity -- a quantity \\(C_{\\mathcal{A}}(E)\\), which can be seen as the behavior of this function near infinity -- and prove that \\(C_{\\mathcal{A}}(\\cdot)\\) satisfies the following Brunn-Minkowski-type inequality: \\[ \\left(C_{\\mathcal{A}}(\\lambda E_1+(1-\\lambda)E_2)\\right)^{\\frac{1}{p-n}}\\ge \\lambda(C_{\\mathcal{A}}(E_1))^{\\frac{1}{p-n}}+(1-\\lambda)(C_{\\mathcal{A}}(E_2))^{\\frac{1}{p-n}}, \\] where \\(n<p<\\infty\\), \\(0\\le\\lambda\\le 1\\), and \\(E_1,E_2\\) are nonempty, convex, compact subsets in \\(\\mathbb{R}^n\\).  When \\(p=n\\), the authors show \\[ C_{\\mathcal{A}}(\\lambda E_1+(1-\\lambda)E_2)\\ge \\lambda C_{\\mathcal{A}}(E_1)+(1-\\lambda)C_{\\mathcal{A}}(E_2),\\] where \\(0\\le \\lambda\\le 1\\) and \\(E_1,E_2\\) are convex, compact subsets in \\(\\mathbb{R}^n\\) containing at least two points. Additionally, it is shown that if equality holds in either of the two inequalities for some \\(E_1\\) and \\(E_2\\), then under assumptions on \\(\\mathcal{A}\\), the two sets are homothetic.  In the second part of the paper the authors consider a Minkowski-type problem for a measure associated to the \\(\\mathcal{A}\\)-harmonic Green's function for the complement of a convex, compact set \\(E\\), when \\(n\\le p<\\infty\\). Denoting the measure by \\(\\mu_{E}\\), the authors prove that necessary and sufficient conditions for existence, in their setting, are actually exactly the same conditions as in the classical Minkowski problem. As a consequence of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality obtained in the first part of the paper, the authors show that this problem has a unique solution up to translation.","citation":[{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5403307"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q509683"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q692076"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q798471"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3692578"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1909931"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q734965"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1773904"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q887341"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1434530"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3349259"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3229622"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4536040"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3509643"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3828371"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1593471"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5294569"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1372996"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4415609"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5666837"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q624925"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5506172"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5444167"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3517463"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2892819"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1644491"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3829888"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4779877"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5287551"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2394594"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1166015"}]},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2026-03-26T21:48:35Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
