Statement of The Inequality
Let K and L be two n-dimensional convex bodies in n-dimensional Euclidean space Rn. Define a quantity V1(K, L) by
where V denotes the n-dimensional Lebesgue measure and + denotes the Minkowski sum. Then
with equality if and only if K and L are homothetic, i.e. are equal up to translation and dilation.
