Abstract

We give a sufficient condition for the strict parabolic power concavity of the convolution in space variable of a function defined on Rn×(0,+)\mathbb{R}^n \times (0,+\infty) and a function defined on Rn\mathbb{R}^n. Since the strict parabolic power concavity of a function defined on Rn×(0,+)\mathbb{R}^n \times (0,+\infty) naturally implies the strict power concavity of a function defined on Rn\mathbb{R}^n, our sufficient condition implies the strict power concavity of the convolution of two functions defined on Rn\mathbb{R}^n. As applications, we show the strict parabolic power concavity and strict power concavity in space variable of the Gauss--Weierstass integral and the Poisson integral for the upper half-space.
