The Busemann-Petty problem on entropy of log-concave functions

The Busemann-Petty problem asks whether symmetric convex bodies in the Euclidean space R^(n) with smaller central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller volumes.The solution has been completed and the answer is affirmative if n≤4 and negative if n≥5.In this paper,we investigate the Busemann-Petty problem on entropy of log-concave functions:for even log-concave functions f and g with finite positive integrals in R^(n),if the marginal∫_(R^(n))∩H^(f(x)dx)of f is smaller than the marginal∫_(R^(n))∩H^(g(x)dx)of g for every hyperplane H passing through the origin,is the entropy Ent(f)of f bigger than the entropy Ent(g)of g?The BusemannPetty problem on entropy of log-concave functions includes the Busemann-Petty problem,and hence its answer is negative when n≥5.For 2≤n≤4,we give a positive answer to the Busemann-Petty problem on entropy of log-concave functions.
