The Minimal Perimeter of a Log-Concave Function

Inspired by the equivalence between isoperimetric inequality and Sobolev inequality, we provide a new connection between geometry and analysis. We define the minimal perimeter of a log-concave function and establish a characteristic theorem of this extremal problem for log-concave functions analogou...
