Classical Neumann Problems for Hessian equations and Alexandrov-Fenchel's inequalities

Abstract

Recently, the first named author together with Xinan Ma \cite{ma2015neumann}, have proved the existence of the Neumann problems for Hessian equations. In this paper, we proceed further to study classical Neumann problems for Hessian equations. We prove here the existence of classical Neumann problems under the uniformly convex domain in R^n. As an application, we use the solution of the classical Neumann problem to give a new proof of a family of Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities arising from convex geometry. This geometric application is motivated from Reilly \cite{Reilly1980}.
