Functional LpL_p-Gardner–Zvavitch conjecture

Let p[1,)p\in[1,\infty), let f,g:RnR+f,g:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}_+ be centered integrable functions, let μ\mu be a measure on Rn\mathbb{R}^n, and let t(0,1)t\in(0,1). Let h:RnR+h:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}_+ be measurable and suppose that, for every x,yRnx,y\in\mathbb{R}^n and every 0<λ<10<\lambda<1,

h((1t)1p(1λ)p1px+t1pλp1py)f(x)(1t)1p(1λ)p1pg(y)t1pλp1p.h\left((1-t)^{\frac{1}{p}}(1-\lambda)^{\frac{p-1}{p}}x+t^{\frac{1}{p}}\lambda^{\frac{p-1}{p}}y\right)\geq f(x)^{(1-t)^{\frac{1}{p}}(1-\lambda)^{\frac{p-1}{p}}}g(y)^{t^{\frac{1}{p}}\lambda^{\frac{p-1}{p}}}.

Functional LpL_p-Gardner–Zvavitch conjecture. There exists an absolute constant C1C\geq1 such that

Rnh(x)dμ(x)1Cp[(1t)(Rnf(x)dμ(x))p/n+t(Rng(x)dμ(x))p/n]n/p.\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}h(x)\,d\mu(x)\geq\frac{1}{C^p}\left[(1-t)\left(\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}f(x)\,d\mu(x)\right)^{p/n}+t\left(\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}g(x)\,d\mu(x)\right)^{p/n}\right]^{n/p}.

This is presented as a functional counterpart of the Gardner–Zvavitch conjecture. The paper says that it is proved in some special cases, while the existence of a universal constant in the stated generality remains open.
