Abstract

A new family of geometric Borel measures on the unit sphere is introduced, which extends the \(L_0\) p-capacitary measures proposed by Zou and Xiong (J Differ Geom 116:555–596, 2020). In this paper, we consider the existence of the solution to the p-capacitary dual Minkowski problem when \(1<p<n\) and \(q<0\). Moreover, log-Minkowski style inequality for dual mixed p-capacity when \(q<0\) is established
