contents In this paper, we provide a new PDE proof for the celebrated Borell--Brascamp--Lieb inequality. Our approach reveals a deep connection between the Borell--Brascamp--Lieb inequality and properties of diffusion equations of porous medium type pertaining to the large time asymptotics and preservation of a generalized concavity of the solutions. We also recover the equality condition in the special case of the Prékopa--Leindler inequality by further exploiting known properties of the heat equation including the eventual log-concavity and backward uniqueness of solutions.
