Abstract

We prove a Fortuin–Kasteleyn–Ginibre-type inequality for the lattice of compositions of the integer n with at most r parts. As an immediate application we get a wide generalization of the classical Alexandrov–Fenchel inequality for mixed volumes and of Teissier's inequality for mixed covolumes.
