Perimeter decrease under Steiner symmetrization

For a convex planar domain between graphs

u_{-}

and

u_{+}

, the Euclidean triangle inequality gives

1 + u_{+}^{'}^{2} + 1 + u_{-}^{'}^{2} \geq 4 + (u_{+}^{'} - u_{-}^{'})^{2},

which is the pointwise perimeter comparison with its symmetrization.
