The author established the affine Orlicz Polya-Szego principle for log-concave functions and conjectured that the principle can be extended to the general Orlicz Sobolev functions. In this paper, we confirm this conjecture completely. An…

In this survey we present the fractional Polya Szego principle and its main consequences in the study of nonlocal functional inequalities. In particular, we show how symmetrization methods work also in the fractional setting and yield sharp…

We extend an operator P\'{o}lya--Szeg\"{o} type inequality involving the operator geometric mean to any arbitrary operator mean under some mild conditions. Utilizing the Mond--Pe\v{c}ari\'c method, we present some other related operator…

This work is concerned with a P\'olya-Szeg\"o type inequality for anisotropic functionals of Sobolev functions. The relevant inequality entails a double-symmetrization involving both trial functions and functionals. A new approach that…
