An inequality, which combines the concept of completely monotone functions with the theory of divided differences, is proposed. It is a straightforward generalization of a result, recently introduced by two of the present authors.
The concept of weighted entropy takes into account values of different outcomes, i.e., makes entropy context-dependent, through the weight function. In this paper, we establish a number of simple inequalities for the weighted entropies…
Consider the projections of a finite set $A\subset R^n$ onto the coordinate hyperplanes. How small can the sum of the sizes of these projections be, given the size of $A$? In a different form, this problem has been studied earlier in the…
Using follower/predecessor/extender set sequences, we define quantities which we call the follower/predecessor/extender entropies, which can be associated to any shift space. We analyze the behavior of these quantities under conjugacies and…
We develop a general method for computing logarithmic and log-gamma expectations of distributions. As a result, we derive series expansions and integral representations of the entropy for several fundamental distributions, including the…
The phenomenon of entropy concentration provides strong support for the maximum entropy method, MaxEnt, for inferring a probability vector from information in the form of constraints. Here we extend this phenomenon, in a discrete setting,…
We synthesize and unify notions of regularity, both of individual sets and of collections of sets, as they appear in the convergence theory of projection methods for consistent feasibility problems. Several new characterizations of…
We explore inequalities on linear extensions of posets and make them effective in different ways. First, we study the Bj\"orner--Wachs inequality and generalize it to inequalities on order polynomials and their $q$-analogues via direct…
We obtain some inequalities which are stronger than the Schur majorization inequalities.
We introduce a new generalization of relative entropy to non-negative vectors with sums $\gt 1$. We show in a purely combinatorial setting, with no probabilistic considerations, that in the presence of linear constraints defining a convex…
We derive entropic uncertainty relations for successive generalized measurements by using general descriptions of quantum measurement within two {distinctive operational} scenarios. In the first scenario, by merging {two successive…
The aim of this paper is to investigate the use of an entropic projection method for the iterative regularization of linear ill-posed problems. We derive a closed form solution for the iterates and analyze their convergence behaviour both…
Schur's inequality for the sum of products of the differences of real numbers states that for $x,y,z,t\geq 0$, $x^t(x-y)(x-z) + y^t(y-z)(y-x) + z^t(z-x)(z-y) \geq 0$. In this paper we study a generalization of this inequality to more terms,…
We revisit entropy methods to prove new sharp trace logarithmic Sobolev and sharp Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev inequalities on the half space, with a focus on the entropy inequality itself and not the actual flow, allowing for somewhat…
The aim of this paper is to establish some new inequalities similar to the Ostrowski's inequalities which are more generalized than the inequalities of Dragomir and Cerone. The current article obtains bounds for the deviation of a function…
Tsallis relative operator entropy is defined and then its properties are given. Shannon inequality and its reverse one in Hilbert space operators derived by T.Furuta \cite{Fu:par} are extended in terms of the parameter of the Tsallis…
Using a sharp version of the reverse Young inequality, and a R\'enyi entropy comparison result due to Fradelizi, Madiman, and Wang, the authors are able to derive R\'enyi entropy power inequalities for log-concave random vectors when…
We study the convergence to equilibrium of a class of nonlinear recombination models. In analogy with Boltzmann's H theorem from kinetic theory, and in contrast with previous analysis of these models, convergence is measured in terms of…
This is a survey of the diversity of problems in additive number theory. Equity requires the consideration of less currently popular problems, and suggests their inclusion in the additive canon. Of particular interest are problems about the…
The projector onto the Minkowski sum of closed convex sets is generally not equal to the sum of individual projectors. In this work, we provide a complete answer to the question of characterizing the instances where such an equality holds.…
