We present some classical and weighted Poincar\'e inequalities for some one-dimensional probability measures. This work is the one-dimensional counterpart of a recent study achieved by the authors for a class of spherically symmetric…
Weighted Poincar\'e-type and related inequalities provide upper bounds of the variance of functions. Their application in sensitivity analysis allows for quickly identifying the active inputs. Although the efficiency in prioritizing inputs…
In this paper we discuss the natural candidate for the one dimensional free Poincar\'e inequality. Two main strong points sustain this candidacy. One is the random matrix heuristic and the other the relations with the other free functional…
A sequence $\{\delta_n^{(k)}\}$ associated to a Bochner differential operator is introduced as an effective tool to study this kind of operators. Some properties of this sequence are proven and used to deduce that a particular operator…
We prove certain $L^p$ Sobolev-type and Poincar\'e-type inequalities for functions on real and complex manifolds for the gradient operator $\nabla$, the Laplace operator $\Delta$, and the operator $\bar\partial$. Integral representations…

In this article, we give a trajectorial proof of a kinetic Poincar\'e inequality which plays an important role in the De Giorgi-Nash-Moser theory for kinetic equations. The present work improves a result due to J. Guerand and C. Mouhot [10]…
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…
The operator nabla, introduced by Garsia and the author, plays a crucial role in many aspect of the study of diagonal harmonics. Besides giving several new formulas involving this operator, we show how one is lead to representation…

For relatively form-compact perturbations of non-negative selfadjoint operators, we obtain an upper bound on the number of discrete eigenvalues in half-planes separated from the positive real axis. The bound is given in terms of a partial…
In this review paper, we explore operator aspects in extremal properties of Bernstein-type polynomial inequalities. We shall also see that a linear operator which send polynomials to polynomials and have zero-preserving property naturally…
We discuss situations where perturbing a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$ does not deteriorate its Poincar\'e constant by much. A particular example is the symmetric exponential measure in $\mathbb{R}^n$, even log-concave perturbations…
We introduce the proximal optimal transport divergence, a novel discrepancy measure that interpolates between information divergences and optimal transport distances via an infimal convolution formulation. This divergence provides a…
The present paper deals with the estimate of the differences of certain positive linear operators and their derivatives. Our approach involves operators defined on bounded intervals, as Bernstein operators, Kantorovich operators, genuine…
We outline a general procedure on how to apply random positive linear operators in nonparametric estimation. As a consequence, we give explicit confidence bands and intervals for a distribution function $F$ concentrated on $[0,1]$ by means…
By ``position operators,'' I mean here a POVM (positive-operator-valued measure) on a suitable configuration space acting on a suitable Hilbert space that serves as defining the position observable of a quantum theory, and by ``positron…
