Anderson's theorem is a result in real analysis and geometry stating that for an integrable, symmetric, unimodal, non-negative function f on n-dimensional space, the integral of f over a convex body K does not decrease when K is translated toward the origin. The theorem formalizes the intuitive picture of f as a single-peaked hill centered at the origin, though for two or more dimensions the proof is not immediate, since some points of K can carry a larger value of f than their inward translate does.

Has Statement Form
Entity-backed identity for the statement-form enum value this theorem already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The statement-form fact itself stays on the theorem unchanged.
