In mathematics, a Borel measure μ on n-dimensional Euclidean space Rn is called logarithmically concave (or log-concave for short) if, for any compact subsets A and B of Rn and 0 < λ < 1, one has

where λ A + (1 − λ) B denotes the Minkowski sum of λ A and (1 − λ) B.

Famous quotes containing the words concave and/or measure:

    I think he is not a pick-purse nor a horse-stealer, but
    for his verity in love, I do think him as concave as a covered goblet or a worm-eaten nut.
