Abstract

We investigate the interactions of functional rearrangements with Prekopa-Leindler type inequalities. It is shown that that a general class of integral inequalities tighten on rearrangement to "isoperimetric" sets with respect to a relevant measure. Applications to the Borell-Brascamp-Lieb, Borell-Ehrhart, and the recent polar Prekopa-Leindler inequalities are demonstrated. It is also proven that an integrated form of the Gaussian log-Sobolev inequality decreases on half-space rearrangement.
