The Hermite-Hadamard inequality in higher dimensions (1808.07794v2)

Published 23 Aug 2018 in math.CA and math.FA

Abstract: The Hermite-Hadamard inequality states that the average value of a convex function on an interval is bounded from above by the average value of the function at the endpoints of the interval. We provide a generalization to higher dimensions: let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}n$ be a convex domain and let $f:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a convex function satisfying $f \big|{\partial \Omega} \geq 0$, then $$ \frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int{\Omega}{f ~d \mathcal{H}n} \leq \frac{2 \pi{-1/2} n{n+1}}{|\partial \Omega|} \int_{\partial \Omega}{f~d \mathcal{H}{n-1}}.$$ The constant $2 \pi{-1/2} n{n+1}$ is presumably far from optimal, however, it cannot be replaced by 1 in general. We prove slightly stronger estimates for the constant in two dimensions where we show that $9/8 \leq c_2 \leq 8$. We also show, for some universal constant $c>0$, if $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}2$ is simply connected with smooth boundary, $f:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}{}$ is subharmonic, i.e. $\Delta f \geq 0$, and $f \big|{\partial \Omega} \geq 0$, then $$ \int_{\Omega}{f~ d \mathcal{H}2} \leq c \cdot \mbox{inradius}(\Omega) \int_{\partial \Omega}{ f ~d\mathcal{H}{1}}.$$ We also prove that every domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}n$ whose boundary is 'flat' at a certain scale $\delta$ admits a Hermite-Hadamard inequality for all subharmonic functions with a constant depending only on the dimension, the measure $|\Omega|$ and the scale $\delta$.
