We analyze the role played by $n$-convexity for the fulfillment of a series of linear functional inequalities that extend the Hornich-Hlawka functional inequality, $f\left( x\right) +f\left( y\right) +f\left( z\right) +f\left( x+y+z\right)…

Let R+ = (0,infinity) and let M be the family of all mean values of two numbers in R+ (some examples are the arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means). Given m1, m2 in M, we say that a function f : R+ to R+ is (m1,m2)-convex if f(m1(x,y))…

For given set of $m$ positive numbers satisfying the conditions: $$ a_1 \geq a_2 \geq , ... \geq a_m \geq 0, $$ the inequality $$ \sum_{s=1}^{m} (-1)^{s-1}a^r_s \geq \left[ \sum_{s=1}^{m} (-1)^{s-1}a_s\right]^r, \quad r > 1, $$ was proved…

We prove a functional extension of an exponential inequality originally proposed by Bin Zhao and proved by Xiaosheng Mou. The main result asserts that if $\alpha_1\leq \cdots\leq \alpha_n$ and $\sum_{k=1}^n \alpha_k=0$, then \[ \sum_{k=1}^n…

We establish a general criterion for the validity of inequalities of the following form: A certain convex combination of the values of a convex function at n points and of its value at a weighted mean of these n points is always greater or…

For an analytic function f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^\infty a_n z^n satisfying the inequality \sum_{n=2}^\infty n(n-1)|a_n|\leq \beta, sharp bound on $\beta$ is determined so that $f$ is either starlike or convex of order $\alpha$. Several other…

Schur's inequality for the sum of products of the differences of real numbers states that for $x,y,z,t\geq 0$, $x^t(x-y)(x-z) + y^t(y-z)(y-x) + z^t(z-x)(z-y) \geq 0$. In this paper we study a generalization of this inequality to more terms,…

We consider Weissler type inequalities for Bergman spaces with general radial weights and give conditions on the weight $w$ in terms of its moments ensuring that $\|f_r\|_{A^{2n}(w)}\leq \|f\|_{A^2(w)}$ whenever $n\in \mathbb{N}$ and $0<…

We study the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type inequalities in the case of $p=1$ and generalize them adopting weight functions $w(|x|)$ on $R^n$ with $w(t)$ in ${W}(R_+)$. Here ${W}(R_+)$ is a general class of weight functions on $R_+$…

It is well known that general variational inequalities provide us with a unified, natural, novel and simple framework to study a wide class of unrelated problems, which arise in pure and applied sciences. In this paper, we present a number…

We extend the range of $N$ to negative values in the $(K,N)$-convexity (in the sense of Erbar--Kuwada--Sturm), the weighted Ricci curvature $Ric_N$ and the curvature-dimension condition $CD(K,N)$. We generalize a number of results in the…

In this paper we give an integral representation of an $n$-convex function $f$ in general case without additional assumptions on function $f$. We prove that any $n$-convex function can be represented as a sum of two $(n+1)$-times monotone…

We show that the validity of the non-commutative Khintchine inequality for some $q$ with $1<q<2$ implies its validity (with another constant) for all $1\le p<q$. We prove this for the inequality involving the Rademacher functions, but also…

This paper concerns the values of the Euler phi-function evaluated simultaneously on k arithmetic progressions a_1 n + b_1, a_2 n + b_2, ..., a_k n + b_k. Assuming the necessary condition that no two of the polynomials a_i x + b_i are…

In this article, we obtain two interesting general inequalities concerning Riemman sums of convex functions, which in particular, sharpen Alzer's inequality and give a suitable converse for it.

Given two weights $\sigma, w$ on $\mathbb R ^{n}$, the classical $g$-function satisfies the norm inequality $\lVert g (f\sigma)\rVert_{L ^2 (w)} \lesssim \lVert f\rVert_{L ^2 (\sigma)}$ if and only if the two weight Muckenhoupt $A_2$…

We study connections between the problem of the existence of positive solutions for certain nonlinear equations and weighted norm inequalities. In particular, we obtain explicit criteria for the solvability of the Dirichlet problem…

In this paper we are concerned with a Gordan-type theorem involving an arbitrary number of inequality functions. We not only state its validity under a weak convexity assumption on the functions, but also show it is an optimal result. We…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions on weights $u_1, u_2, v_1, v_2$, i.e. measurable, positive, and finite, a.e. on $(a,b)$, for which there exists a positive constant $C$ such that for given $0 < p_1,q_1,p_2,q_2 <\infty$ the…

We study multivariate entire functions and polynomials with non-negative coefficients. A class of {\bf Strongly Log-Concave} entire functions, generalizing {\it Minkowski} volume polynomials, is introduced: an entire function $f$ in $m$…
