Abstract

Let ΩRn\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n be a convex domain and let f:ΩRf:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R} be a subharmonic function, Δf0\Delta f \geq 0, which satisfies f0f \geq 0 on the boundary Ω\partial \Omega. Then Ωf dxΩ1nΩf dσ. \int_{\Omega}{f ~dx} \leq |\Omega|^{\frac{1}{n}} \int_{\partial \Omega}{f ~d\sigma}. Our proof is based on a new gradient estimate for the torsion function, Δu=1\Delta u = -1 with Dirichlet boundary conditions, which is of independent interest.
