We define, in the frame of an abstract Wiener space, the notions of convexity and of concavity for the equivalence classes of random variables. As application we show that some important inequalities of the finite dimensional case have…
The specific relative entropy, introduced by N. Gantert, allows to quantify the discrepancy between the laws of potentially mutually singular measures. It appears naturally as the large deviations rate function in a randomized version of…
In a previous article it was shown that when a three-dimensional smooth convex body has rotational symmetry around a coordinate axis one can find better bounds for the lattice point discrepancy than what is known for more general convex…
We re-examine the notion of relative $(p,\eps)$-approximations, recently introduced in [CKMS06], and establish upper bounds on their size, in general range spaces of finite VC-dimension, using the sampling theory developed in [LLS01] and in…
We resolve a conjecture of Kalai relating approximation theory of convex bodies by simplicial polytopes to the face numbers and primitive Betti numbers of these polytopes and their toric varieties. The proof uses higher notions of…
The faces of a convex set owe their relevance to an interplay between convexity and topology that is systematically studied in the work of Rockafellar. Infinite-dimensional convex sets are excluded from this theory as their relative…
Although some information-theoretic measures of uncertainty or granularity have been proposed in rough set theory, these measures are only dependent on the underlying partition and the cardinality of the universe, independent of the lower…
We give several characterizations of relative homological epimorphisms in the setting of locally convex topological algebras, thereby correcting a gap in our earlier paper [Trans. Moscow Math. Soc. 2008, 27-104].
In [Gallego and Aolita, Physical Review X 5, 041008 (2015)], the authors proposed a definition for the relative entropy of steering and showed that the resulting quantity is a convex steering monotone. Here we advocate for a different…
It is well-known that considerations of symmetry lead to the definition of a host of conserved quantities (energy, linear momentum, center of mass, etc.) for an asymptotically flat initial data set, and a great deal of progress in…
Compressible (full) potential flow is expressed as an equivalent first-order system of conservation laws for density $\rho$ and velocity $v$. Energy $E$ is shown to be the only nontrivial entropy for that system in multiple space…
Noncommutative topological entropy estimates are obtained for polynomial gauge invariant endomorphisms of Cuntz algebras, generalising known results for the canonical shift endomorphisms. Exact values for the entropy are computed for a…
This paper contains a number of results related to volumes of projective perturbations of convex bodies and the Laplace transform on convex cones. First, it is shown that a sharp version of Bourgain's slicing conjecture implies the Mahler…
It is shown that if $C$ is an $n$-dimensional convex body then there is an affine image $\widetilde C$ of $C$ for which $${|\partial \widetilde C|\over |\widetilde C|^{n-1\over n}}$$ is no larger than the corresponding expression for a…
Entropy and relative or cross entropy measures are two very fundamental concepts in information theory and are also widely used for statistical inference across disciplines. The related optimization problems, in particular the maximization…
General hyperbolic systems of balance laws with inhomogeneity in space and time in all constitutive functions are studied in the context of relative entropy. A framework is developed in this setting that contributes to a measure-valued weak…
The spherical centroid body of a centrally-symmetric convex body in the Euclidean unit sphere is introduced. Two alternative definitions - one geometric, the other probabilistic in nature - are given and shown to lead to the same objects.…
The aim of this note is to survey the results in some geometric problems related to the centroids and the static equilibrium points of convex bodies. In particular, we collect results related to Gr\"unbaum's inequality and the…
We present some new nonparametric estimators of entropies and we establish almost sure consistency and central limit Theorems for some of the most important entropies in the discrete case. Our theorical results are validated by simulations.
A complete classification of all zonal, continuous, and translation invariant valuations on convex bodies is established. The valuations obtained are expressed as principal value integrals with respect to the area measures. The convergence…
