Anderson's Theorem - Statement of The Theorem

Statement of The Theorem

Let K be a convex body in n-dimensional Euclidean space Rn that is symmetric with respect to reflection in the origin, i.e. K = −K. Let f : RnR be a non-negative, symmetric, globally integrable function; i.e.

  • f(x) ≥ 0 for all xRn;
  • f(x) = f(−x) for all xRn;

Suppose also that the super-level sets L(f, t) of f, defined by

are convex subsets of Rn for every t ≥ 0. (This property is sometimes referred to as being unimodal.) Then, for any 0 ≤ c ≤ 1 and yRn,

    The most distinct and beautiful statement of any truth must take at last the mathematical form.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    No statement about God is simply, literally true. God is far more than can be measured, described, defined in ordinary language, or pinned down to any particular happening.
    David Jenkins (b. 1925)

    To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.
