The Orlicz Brunn-Minkowski theory originated with the work of Lutwak, Yang, and Zhang in 2010. In this paper, we first introduce the Orlicz addition of convex bodies containing the origin in their interiors, and then extend the Lp Brunn-Minkowski inequality to the Orlicz Brunn-Minkowski inequality. Furthermore, we extend the Lp Minkowski mixed volume inequality to the Orlicz mixed volume inequality by using the Orlicz Brunn-Minkowski inequality.

The original goal of this paper is to extend the affine isoperimetric inequality and Steiner type inequality of Orlicz projection bodies (which originated to Lutwak, Yang, and Zhang [36]), from convex bodies to Lipschitz star bodies (whose radial functions are locally Lipschitz). In order to achieve it, we investigate the graph functions of the given Lipschitz star body K: Along almost all directions u, we can define the graph functions on an open dense subset of the orthogonal projection of K onto u⊥.
