Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In mathematics, Anderson''s theorem is a result in real analysis and geometry which says that the integral of an integrable, symmetric, unimodal, non-negative function f over an n-dimensional convex body K does not decrease if K is translated inwards towards the origin. This is a natural statement, since the graph of f can be thought of as a hill with a single peak over the origin; however, for n ≥ 2, the proof is not entirely obvious, as there may be points x of the body K where the value f(x) is larger than at the corresponding translate of x. Anderson''s theorem also has an interesting application to probability theory.
