contents The Rogers-Shephard and Zhang's projection inequalities are two reverse, affine isoperimetric-type inequalities for convex bodies. Following a classical work by Schneider, both inequalities have been extended to the so-called $m$th-order setting. In this work, we establish the $m$th-order analogues for these inequalities in the setting of log-concave functions. Our proof of the functional Zhang's projection inequality employs properties of the asymmetric LYZ body, significantly streamlining the argument and producing a novel approach for the case $m=1$. Furthermore, we introduce and analyze the radial mean bodies of a log-concave function, thereby providing a functional generalization of Gardner and Zhang's radial mean bodies. These are new even in the case $m=1$. Our development leverages an extension of Ball bodies, which may be of independent interest.
