We derive a set of Leggett-Garg inequalities (temporal Bell's inequalities) for the moment generating function of charge transferred through a conductor. Violation of these inequalities demonstrates the absence of a macroscopic-real…
Lyapunov drift and Lyapunov optimization are powerful techniques for optimizing time averages in stochastic queueing networks subject to stability. However, there are various definitions of queue stability in the literature, and the most…
We prove logarithmic Sobolev inequality for measures $$ q^n(x^n)=\text{dist}(X^n)=\exp\bigl(-V(x^n)\bigr), \quad x^n\in \Bbb R^n, $$ under the assumptions that: (i) the conditional distributions $$ Q_i(\cdot| x_j, j\neq i)=\text{dist}(X_i|…
We study the relations between (tight) logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, entropy decay and spectral gap inequalities for Markov evolutions on von Neumann algebras. We prove that log-Sobolev inequalities (in the non-commutative form defined…

Convergence rates results for Tikhonov regularization of nonlinear ill-posed operator equations in abstract function spaces require the handling of both smoothness conditions imposed on the solution and structural conditions expressing the…
In this paper, we derive sufficient conditions on drift matrices under which block-diagonal solutions to Lyapunov inequalities exist. The motivation for the problem comes from a recently proposed basis pursuit algorithm. In particular, this…
In this paper we present integral conductor inequalities connecting the Lorentz p,q-(quasi)norm of a gradient of a function to a one-dimensional integral of the p,q-capacitance of the conductor between two level surfaces of the same…
We prove an inequality for the entropy numbers in terms of nonlinear Kolmogorov's widths. This inequality is in a spirit of known inequalities of this type and it is adjusted to the form convenient in applications for $m$-term…
Stability of stationary solutions of parabolic equations is conventionally studied by linear stability analysis, Lyapunov functions or lower and upper functions. We discuss here another approach based on differential inequalities written…
In this paper we introduce and study a weakened form of logarithmic Sobolev inequalities in connection with various others functional inequalities (weak Poincar\'{e} inequalities, general Beckner inequalities...). We also discuss the…
We use Lyapunov-like functions and convex optimization to propagate uncertainty in the initial condition of nonlinear systems governed by ordinary differential equations. We consider the full nonlinear dynamics without approximation,…
By using optimal mass transportation and a quantitative H\"older inequality, we provide estimates for the Borell-Brascamp-Lieb deficit on complete Riemannian manifolds. Accordingly, equality cases in Borell-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities…
We investigate degenerate saddle point problems, which can be viewed as limit cases of standard mixed formulations of symmetric problems with large jumps in coefficients. We prove that they are well-posed in a standard norm despite the…
We investigate Sobolev inequalities for several rough operators. We prove that several operators satisfy a pointwise bound by the Riesz potential applied to the gradient. From this inequality, we derive several new Sobolev-type inequalities…
We prove optimality conditions for different variational functionals containing left and right Caputo fractional derivatives. A sufficient condition of minimization under an appropriate convexity assumption is given. An Euler-Lagrange…
This paper establishes endpoint $L^p-L^q$ and Sobolev mapping properties of Radon-like operators which satisfy a homogeneity condition (similar to semiquasihomogeneity) and a condition on the rank of a matrix related to rotational…

We prove that for a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$, the Poincar\'e inequality for convex functions is equivalent to the weak transportation inequality with a quadratic-linear cost. This generalizes recent results by Gozlan et al. and…
We show that if the random walk on a graph has positive coarse Ricci curvature in the sense of Ollivier, then the stationary measure satisfies a W^1 transport-entropy inequality. Peres and Tetali have conjectured a stronger consequence,…
