Background
Take 2 convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$, or 3 convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^3$, or generally, $n$ convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$. "Mixed volume" assigns to such a family $A_1, \ldots, A_n$ a real number $V(A_1, \ldots, A_n)$, measured in $\mathrm{metres}^n$.
As I understand it, mixed volume is a kind of cousin of the determinant. I'll give the definition in a moment, but first here are some examples.
$V(A, \ldots, A) = \mathrm{Vol}(A)$, for any convex set $A$.
More generally, suppose that $A_1, \ldots, A_n$ are all scalings of a single convex set (so that $A = r_i B$ for some convex $B$ and $r_i \geq 0$). Then $V(A_1, \ldots, A_n)$ is the geometric mean of $\mathrm{Vol}(A_1), \ldots, \mathrm{Vol}(A_n)$.
The previous examples don't show how mixed volume typically depends on the interplay between the sets. So, taking $n = 2$, let $A_1$ be an $a \times b$ rectangle and $A_2$ a $c \times d$ rectangle in $\mathbb{R}^2$, with their edges parallel to the coordinate axes. Then $$ V(A_1, A_2) = \frac{1}{2}(ad + bc). $$ (Compare and contrast the determinant formula $ad - bc$.)
More generally, take axis-parallel parallelepipeds $A_1, \ldots, A_n$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Write $m_{i1}, \ldots, m_{in}$ for the edge-lengths of $A_i$. Then $$ V(A_1, \ldots, A_n) = \frac{1}{n!} \sum_{\sigma \in S_n} m_{1, \sigma(1)} \cdots m_{n, \sigma(n)}. $$ (Again, compare and contrast the determinant formula.)
The definition of mixed volume depends on a theorem of Minkowski: for any compact convex sets $A_1, \ldots, A_m$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, the function $$ (\lambda_1, \ldots, \lambda_m) \mapsto \mathrm{Vol}(\lambda_1 A_1 + \cdots + \lambda_m A_m) $$ (where $\lambda_i \geq 0$ and $+$ means Minkowski sum) is a polynomial, homogeneous of degree $n$. For $m = n$, the mixed volume $V(A_1, \ldots, A_n)$ is defined as the coefficient of $\lambda_1 \lambda_2 \cdots \lambda_n$ in this polynomial, divided by $n!$.
Why pick out this particular coefficient? Because it turns out to tell you everything, in the following sense: for any convex sets $A_1, \ldots, A_m$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $$ \mathrm{Vol}(\lambda_1 A_1 + \cdots + \lambda_m A_m) = \sum_{i_1, \ldots, i_n = 1}^m V(A_{i_1}, \ldots, A_{i_n}) \lambda_{i_1} \cdots \lambda_{i_n}. $$
Properties of mixed volume
Formally, let $\mathscr{K}_n$ be the set of nonempty compact convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$. Then mixed volume is a function $$ V: (\mathscr{K}_n)^n \to [0, \infty), $$ and has the following properties:
Volume: $V(A, \ldots, A) = \mathrm{Vol}(A)$. (Here and below, the letters $A$, $A_i$ etc. will be understood to range over $\mathscr{K}_n$, and $\lambda$, $\lambda_i$ etc. will be nonnegative reals.)
Symmetry: $V$ is symmetric in its arguments.
Multilinearity: $$ V(\lambda A_1 + \lambda' A'_1, A_2, \ldots, A_n) = \lambda V(A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_n) + \lambda' V(A'_1, A_2, \ldots, A_n). $$ (These first three properties closely resemble a standard characterization of determinants.)
Continuity: $V$ is continuous with respect to the Hausdorff metric on $\mathscr{K}_n$.
Invariance: $V(gA_1, \ldots, gA_n) = V(A_1, \ldots, A_n)$ for any isometry $g$ of Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ onto itself.
Multivaluation: $$ V(A_1 \cup A'_1, A_2, \ldots, A_n) = V(A_1, A_2, \ldots) + V(A'_1, A_2, \ldots) - V(A_1 \cap A'_1, A_2, \ldots) $$ whenever $A_1, A'_1, A_1 \cup A'_1 \in \mathscr{K}_n$.
Monotonicity: $V(A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_n) \leq V(A'_1, A_2, \ldots, A_n)$ whenever $A_1 \subseteq A'_1$.
There are other basic properties, but I'll stop there.
Questions
Is $V$ the unique function $(\mathscr{K}_n)^n \to [0, \infty)$ satisfying properties 1--7?
If so, does some subset of these properties suffice? In particular, do properties 1--3 suffice?
If not, is there a similar characterization involving different properties?
(Partway through writing this question, I found a recent paper of Vitali Milman and Rolf Schneider: Characterizing the mixed volume. I don't think it answers my question, though it does give me the impression that the answer might be unknown.)
