John’s fundamental theorem characterizing the largest volume ellipsoid contained in a convex body   $K$   in   $\mathbb{R}^{d}$   has seen several generalizations and extensions. One direction, initiated by V. Milman is to replace ellipsoids by positions (affine images) of another body   $L$  . Another, more recent direction is to consider logarithmically concave functions on   $\mathbb{R}^{d}$   instead of convex bodies: we designate some special, radially symmetric log-concave function   $g$   as the analogue of the Euclidean ball, and want to find its largest integral position under the constraint that it is pointwise below some given log-concave function   $f$  . We follow both directions simultaneously: we consider the functional question, and allow essentially any meaningful function to play the role of   $g$   above. Our general theorems jointly extend known results in both directions. The dual problem in the setting of convex bodies asks for the smallest volume ellipsoid, called  Löwner’s ellipsoid , containing   $K$  . We consider the analogous problem for functions: we characterize the solutions of the optimization problem of finding a smallest integral position of some log-concave function   $g$   under the constraint that it is pointwise above   $f$  . It turns out that in the functional setting, the relationship between the John and the Löwner problems is more intricate than it is in the setting of convex bodies.
