Brunn–Minkowski inequality
E1440912
UNEXPLORED
The Brunn–Minkowski inequality is a fundamental result in convex geometry and analysis that relates the volumes of sets in Euclidean space to the volume of their Minkowski sum, underpinning many isoperimetric and functional inequalities.

How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T20627236 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.
