Extensions of Brunn-Minkovskis inequality to multiple matrices

Yuan and Leng (2007) gave a generalization of Ky Fans determinantal inequality, which is a celebrated refinement of the fundamental Brunn-Minkowski inequality $(det (A+B))^{1/n} ge (det A)^{1/n} +(det B)^{1/n}$, where $A$ and $B$ are positive semidefinite matrices. In this note, we first give an extension of Yuan-Lengs result to multiple positive definite matrices, and then we further extend the result to a larger class of matrices whose numerical ranges are contained in a sector. Our result improves a recent result of Liu [Linear Algebra Appl. 508 (2016) 206--213].
