Let $S_N$ be the sum of vector-valued functions defined on a finite Markov chain. An analogue of the Bernstein--Hoeffding inequality is derived for the probability of large deviations of $S_N$ and relates the probability to the spectral gap…
Initially motivated by the study of the non-asymptotic properties of non-parametric tests based on permutation methods, concentration inequalities for uniformly permuted sums have been largely studied in the literature. Recently, Delyon et…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the precompactness of all optimizing sequences for the Stein-Tomas inequality. In particular, if a well-known conjecture about the optimal constant in the Strichartz inequality is true, we…
A variant of the well-known Chebyshev inequality for scalar random variables can be formulated in the case where the mean and variance are estimated from samples. In this paper we present a generalization of this result to multiple…
The mean value inequality is characteristic for upper semicontinuous functions to be subharmonic. Quasinearly subharmonic functions generalize subharmonic functions. We find the necessary and sufficient conditions under which subsets of…
Concentration inequalities quantify the deviation of a random variable from a fixed value. In spite of numerous applications, such as opinion surveys or ecological counting procedures, few concentration results are known for the setting of…
This work obtains sharp closed-form exponential concentration inequalities of Bernstein type for the ubiquitous beta distribution, improving upon sub-gaussian and sub-gamma bounds previously studied in this context. The proof leverages a…
The classical AM-GM inequality has been generalized in a number of ways. Generalizations which incorporate variance appear to be the most useful in economics and finance, as well as mathematically natural. Previous work leaves unanswered…
We present a subdivision method to solve systems of congruence equations. This method is inspired in a subdivision method, based on Bernstein forms, to solve systems of polynomial inequalities in several variables and arbitrary degrees. The…
We obtain the distribution of the maximal average in a sequence of independent identically distributed exponential random variables. Surprisingly enough, it turns out that the inverse distribution admits a simple closed form. An application…
We prove that if $f:I\subset \Bbb R\to \Bbb R$ is of bounded variation, then the noncentered maximal function $Mf$ is absolutely continuous, and its derivative satisfies the sharp inequality $\|DMf\|_1\le |Df|(I)$. This allows us obtain,…
The main purpose of the present article is to give some new Hilbert's sum type inequalities, which in special cases yield the classical Hilbert's inequalities. Our results provide some new estimates to these types of inequalities.
We improve a result of Bennett concerning certain sequences involving sums of powers of positive integers.
We establish sharp inequalities involving the incomplete Beta and Gamma functions. These inequalities arise in the approximation of generalized Bernstein functions by higher order Thorin-Bernstein functions. Furthermore, new properties of a…
Higher order Bernstein- and Markov-type inequalities are established for trigonometric polynomials on compact subsets of the real line and algebraic polynomials on compact subsets of the unit circle. In the case of Markov-type inequalities…
In this paper we give new deviation inequalities of Bernstein's type for the partial sums of weakly dependent time series. The loss from the independent case is studied carefully. We give non mixing examples such that dynamical systems and…
We extend some sharp inequalities for martingale-differences to general multiplicative systems of random variables. The key ingredient in the proofs is a technique reducing the general case to the case of Rademacher random variables without…
The maximal inequalities for diffusion processes have drawn increasing attention in recent years. However, the existing proof of the $L^p$ maximum inequalities for the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process was dubious. Here we give a rigorous proof of…
We prove an elementary yet useful inequality bounding the maximal value of certain linear programs. This leads directly to a bound on the martingale difference for arbitrarily dependent random variables, providing a generalization of some…
A Bernstein type inequality is obtained for the Jacobi polynomials $P_n^{\alpha,\beta}(x)$, which is uniform for all degrees $n\ge0$, all real $\alpha,\beta\ge0$, and all values $x\in [-1,1]$. It provides uniform bounds on a complete set of…
