 Let "K" and "L" be convex bodies in R"n".The Brunn–Minkowski inequality states that

where vol denotes "n"-dimensional Lebesgue measure and the + on the left-hand side denotes Minkowski addition.In general, no reverse bound is possible, since one can find convex bodies "K" and "L" of unit volume so that the volume of their Minkowski sum is arbitrarily large.
