Abstract:

In this paper, we prove that, if functions (concave) $\phi$ and (convex) $\psi$ satisfy certain conditions, the $L_{\phi}$ affine surface area is monotone increasing, while the $L_{\psi}$ affine surface area is monotone decreasing under the Steiner symmetrization. Consequently, we can prove related affine isoperimetric inequalities, under certain conditions on $\phi$ and $\psi$, without assuming that the convex body involved has centroid (or the Santal\'{o} point) at the origin.
