Abstract

A conjecture of Pasteczka, generalizing the classical Hermite--Hadamard Inequality, states that if ΩRd\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d is a compact convex domain such that Ω\Omega and Ω\partial \Omega have the same center of mass, then for every convex function f:ΩRdf: \Omega \to \mathbb{R}^d, the average value of ff on Ω\Omega is less than or equal to the average value of ff on Ω\partial \Omega. Pasteczka proved this conjecture for the case where Ω\Omega is a polytope with an inscribed ball. We generalize this result by proving Pasteczka's conjecture in the case where some point lies at most (d+1)Ω/Ω(d+1)|\Omega|/|\partial \Omega| away from all hyperplanes tangent to Ω\partial \Omega.
