We provide a simple proof for the Fenchel duality between strong convexity and Lipschitz continuous gradient. To this end, we first establish equivalent conditions of convexity for a general function that may not be differentiable. By…

Let $n$ be an odd positive integer. It was proved by Brass and Schmeisser that for every quadrature $$\mathcal{Q}=\alpha_1f(x_1)+\dots+\alpha_mf(x_m),$$ (with positive weights) of order at least $n+1$ and for every $n-$convex function $f,$…

For functions $f(z)= z+ a_2 z^2 + a_3 z^3 + \cdots$ in various subclasses of normalized analytic functions, we consider the problem of estimating the generalized Zalcman coefficient functional $\phi(f,n,m;\lambda):=|\lambda a_n a_m…

For a real-valued measurable function $f$ and a nonnegative, nondecreasing function $\phi$, we first obtain a Chebyshev type inequality which provides an upper bound for $\displaystyle \phi(\lambda_{1}) \mu(\{x \in \Omega : f(x) \geq…

Let $f$ be a half-integral weight cusp form of level $4N$ for odd and squarefree $N$ and let $a(n)$ denote its $n^{\rm th}$ normalized Fourier coefficient. Assuming that all the coefficients $a(n)$ are real, we study the sign of $a(n)$ when…

Let $A_f(1,n)$ be the normalized Fourier coefficients of a $GL(3)$ Maass cusp form $f$ and let $a_g(n)$ be the normalized Fourier coefficients of a $GL(2)$ cusp form $g$. Let $\lambda(n)$ be either $A_f(1,n)$ or the triple divisor function…

We use entropy rates and Schur concavity to prove that, for every integer k >= 2, every nonzero rational number q, and every real number alpha, the base-k expansions of alpha, q+alpha, and q*alpha all have the same finite-state dimension…

In this note, we present two general classes of integral inequalities motivated by their applications to infinite dimensional systems. The inequalities possess general structures in terms of weight functions and lower quadratic bounds. Many…

We consider complete Riemannian manifolds which satisfy a weighted Poincar\`e inequality and have the Ricci curvature bounded below in terms of the weight function. When the weight function has a non-zero limit at infinity, the structure of…

In this paper, we investigate the mixed-integer nonlinear set with box constraints $X = \{(w,x)\in R\times Z^n:w\leq f(a^Tx),0\leq x\leq \mu\}$, where $f$ is a univariate concave function, $a\in R^n$, and $\mu\in Z^n_{++}$. This set arises…

We give a~new proof of the known criteria for the inequality \begin{equation*} \left(\int_{0}^{\infty}\left(\int_{0}^{t}f\right)^{q}w(t)\,dt\right)^{\frac{1}{q}} \leq C \left(\int_{0}^{\infty}f^{p}v\right)^{\frac{1}{p}}. \end{equation*} The…

For a set $A$ of non-negative integers, let $R_A(n)$ denote the number of solutions to the equation $n=a+a'$ with $a$, $a'\in A$. Denote by $\chi_A(n)$ the characteristic function of $A$. Let $b_n>0$ be a sequence satisfying $\limsup_{n\to…

Using the log-convexity of the Gamma function and Euler's reflection formula, we give a new proof of a classical weighted sine product inequality. Two different parameter choices yield two competing upper bounds for the same product. We…

Inspired by a fundamental theorem of Bernstein, Kushnirenko, and Khovanskii we study the following Bezout type inequality for mixed volumes $$ V(L_1,\dots,L_{n})V_n(K)\leq V(L_1,K[{n-1}])V(L_2,\dots, L_{n},K). $$ We show that the above…

Let (L,\preccurlyeq) be a finite distributive lattice, and suppose that the functions f_1,f_2:L\to R are monotone increasing with respect to the partial order \preccurlyeq. Given \mu a probability measure on L, denote by E(f_i) the average…

Convexity is an important notion in non linear optimization theory as well as in infinite dimensional functional analysis. As will be seen below, very simple and powerful tools will be derived from elementary duality arguments (which are…

Consider any Dirichlet series sum a_n/n^z with nonnegative coefficients a_n and finite sum function f(z)=f(x+iy) when x is greater than 1. Denoting the partial sum a_1+...+a_N by s_N, the paper gives the following necessary and sufficient…

Let $F(x, y)$ be a binary form with integer coefficients, degree $n\geq 3$ and irreducible over the rationals. Suppose that only $s + 1$ of the $n + 1$ coefficients of $F$ are nonzero. We show that the Thue inequality $|F(x,y)|\leq m$ has…
