Abstract: While studying set function properties of Lebesgue measure, F. Barthe and M. Madiman proved that Lebesgue measure is fractionally superadditive on compact sets in R n . In doing this they proved a fractional generalization of the Brunn–Minkowski–Lyusternik (BML) inequality in dimension n = 1 . In this paper we will prove the equality conditions for the fractional superadditive volume inequalites for any dimension. The non-trivial equality conditions are as follows. In the one-dimensional case we will show that for a fractional partition (G , β) and nonempty sets A 1 , ⋯ , A m ⊆ R , equality holds iff for each S ∈ G , the set ∑ i ∈ S A i is an interval. In the case of dimension n ≥ 2 we will show that equality can hold if and only if the set ∑ i = 1 m A i has measure 0. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
