Abstract
John's inclusion states that a convex body in can be covered by the -dilation of its maximal volume ellipsoid. We obtain a certain John-type inclusion for log-concave functions. As a byproduct of our approach, we establish the following asymptotically tight inequality: \\ \noindent For any log-concave function with finite, positive integral, there exist a positive definite matrix , a point , and a positive constant such that where is the indicator function of the unit ball .
