Abstract

The Brunn-Minkowski inequality states that for bounded measurable sets AA and BB in Rn\mathbb{R}^n, we have A+B1/nA1/n+B1/n|A+B|^{1/n} \geq |A|^{1/n}+|B|^{1/n}. Also, equality holds if and only if AA and BB are convex and homothetic sets in Rd\mathbb{R}^d. The stability of this statement is a well-known problem that has attracted much attention in recent years. This paper gives a conclusive answer by proving the sharp stability result for the Brunn-Minkowski inequality on arbitrary sets.
