Dual Lp John ellipsoids for general measures
Abstract
The dual Lp John ellipsoids form a family that includes the origin-centered Löwner and Legendre ellipsoids. In this paper, we extend this family to general measures within the dual weighted Lp Brunn--Minkowski theory. For measures with locally integrable densities that are continuous in a neighborhood of the boundary of the given star body, we establish a variational formula for Lp-harmonic radial combinations. The associated boundary integral leads to an optimization problem that remains meaningful under weaker assumptions on the boundary trace of the density. We prove the existence, uniqueness, and characterization of its solution. The resulting ellipsoids include the dual Lp John ellipsoids for Gaussian measures. We also establish a monotonicity inequality, a measure inequality for homogeneous densities with its equality conditions on the weighted support, and an Lp Löwner inclusion.
