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,

Famous quotes containing the words statement of, statement and/or theorem:

    One is apt to be discouraged by the frequency with which Mr. Hardy has persuaded himself that a macabre subject is a poem in itself; that, if there be enough of death and the tomb in one’s theme, it needs no translation into art, the bold statement of it being sufficient.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    After the first powerful plain manifesto
    The black statement of pistons, without more fuss
    But gliding like a queen, she leaves the station.
    Stephen Spender (1909–1995)

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