The Busemann-Petty problem on entropy of log-concave functions
Abstract
The Busemann-Petty problem asks whether symmetric convex bodies in the Euclidean space with smaller central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller volume. The solution has been completed and the answer is affirmative if and negative if . In this paper, we investigate the Busemann-Petty problem on entropy of log-concave functions: For even log-concave functions and with finite positive integrals in , if the marginal of is smaller than the marginal of for every hyperplane passing through the origin, whether the entropy of is bigger than the entropy of ? The Busemann-Petty problem on entropy of log-concave functions includes the Busemann-Petty problem, hence, its answer is negative when . For we give a positive answer to the Busemann-Petty problem on entropy of log-concave functions.
