Abstract

If f,g:RnR0f,g:\mathbb{R}^n\longrightarrow\mathbb{R}_{\geq0} are non-negative measurable functions, then the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality asserts that the integral of the Asplund sum (provided that it is measurable) is greater or equal than the 00-mean of the integrals of ff and gg. In this paper we prove that under the sole assumption that ff and gg have a common projection onto a hyperplane, the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality admits a linear refinement. Moreover, the same inequality can be obtained when assuming that both projections (not necessarily equal as functions) have the same integral. An analogous approach may be also carried out for the so-called Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequality.
