A strong submeasure on a compact metric space X is a sub-linear and bounded operator on the space of continuous functions on X. A strong submeasure is positive if it is non-decreasing. By Hahn-Banach theorem, a positive strong submeasure is…

We exhibit a way of "forcing a functional to be an effective operation" for arbitrary partial combinatory algebras (pcas). This gives a method of defining new pcas from old ones for some fixed functional, where the new partial functions can…

Fix $k \ge 3$. If a multiplicative function $f$ satisfies \[ f(x_1+x_2+\dots+x_k) = f(x_1) + f(x_2) + \dots + f(x_k) \] for arbitrary positive triangular numbers $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_k$, then $f$ is the identity function. This extends Chung…

In this paper, we extend the class of admissible functions for the trace formula of the second order in the self-adjoint, unitary, and contraction cases for a perturbation in the Hilbert-Schmidt class $\mathcal{S}^2(\mathcal{H})$ by…

We refine Epstein's method to prove joint concavity/convexity of matrix trace functions of the extended Lieb type $Tr{\Phi(A^p)^{1/2}\Psi(B^q)\Phi(A^p)^{1/2}}^s$, where $\Phi$ and $\Psi$ are positive linear maps. By the same method combined…

We establish a set of relations between several quite diverse types of weighted inequalities involving various integral operators and fairly general quasinorm-like functionals which we call sub-monotone. The main result enables one to solve…

We prove several trace inequalities that extend the Golden-Thompson and the Araki-Lieb-Thirring inequality to arbitrarily many matrices. In particular, we strengthen Lieb's triple matrix inequality. As an example application of our four…

In functional analysis it is well known that every linear functional defined on the dual of a locally convex vector space which is continuous for the weak topology is the evaluation at a uniquely determined point of the given vector space.…

We prove Lieb type convexity and concavity results for trace functionals associated with positive operator monotone (decreasing) functions and certain monotone concave functions. This gives a partial generalization of Hiai's recent work on…

We study functions of least gradient as well as related superminimizers and solutions of obstacle problems in metric spaces that are equipped with a doubling measure and support a Poincar\'e inequality. We show a standard weak Harnack…

Given an undirected unweighted graph $G = (V, E)$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, a subgraph $H\subseteq G$ is a spanner of $G$ with stretch function $f: \mathbb{R}_+ \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_+$, if for every pair $s, t$ of vertices in $V$,…

Carbery proposed the following sharpened form of triangle inequality for many functions: for any $p\ge 2$ and any finite sequence $(f_j)_j\subset L^p$ we have \[ \Big\|\sum_j f_j\Big\|_p \ \le\ \left(\sup_{j} \sum_{k}…

Similarity metric which is not positive definite, and present a general theorem which provides a large family of similarity metrics which are positive definite.

This is a conitunation of [1] and [2]. We prove that if function $f$ belongs to the class $\Lambda_{\omega} \overset{\text{def}}{=} \{f: \omega_{f}(\delta)\leq \text{const} \omega(\delta)\} $ for an arbitrary modulus of continuity $\omega$,…

We study a positive-definite function associated to a measure-preserving equivalence relation on a standard probability space and use it to measure quantitatively the proximity of subequivalence relations. This is combined with a recent…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of operator arithmetic-geometrically convex functions for positive linear operators and prove some Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for these functions. As applications, we obtain trace inequalities…

Let $A$ and $B$ be almost commuting (i.e., the commutator $AB-BA$ belongs to trace class) self-adjoint operators. We construct a functional calculus $\varphi\mapsto\varphi(A,B)$ for functions $\varphi$ in the Besov class…

In the recent paper \cite{SER}, the second author proved a divergence-quasiconcavity inequality for the following functional $ \mathbb{D}(A)=\int_{\mathbb{T}^n} det(A(x))^{\frac{1}{n-1}}\,dx$ defined on the space of $p$-summable positive…

A real arithmetic function f is multiplicatively monotonous if f (mn) -- f (m) has constant sign for m, n positive integers. Properties and examples of such functions are discussed, with applications to positive hermitian…
