For a Radon measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$, define $C^n_\mu(x, t)= \ (\frac{1}{t^n} \ |\int_{B(x,t)} \frac{x-y}{t} \, d\mu(y)\ | \ )$. This coefficient quantifies how symmetric the measure $\mu$ is by comparing the center of mass at a…

We show that the variance of a probability measure $\mu$ on a compact subset $X$ of a complete metric space $M$ is bounded by the square of the circumradius $R$ of the canonical embedding of $X$ into the space $P(M)$ of probability measures…

The center of mass of a finite measure with respect to a radially increasing weight is shown to exist, be unique, and depend continuously on the measure.

The effect that weighted summands have on each other in approximations of $S=w_1S_1+w_2S_2+\cdots+w_NS_N$ is investigated. Here, $S_i$'s are sums of integer-valued random variables, and $w_i$ denote weights, $i=1,\dots,N$. Two cases are…

We solve a long-standing open problem in theory of weighted inequalities concerning iterated Copson operators. We use a constructive approximation method based on a new discretization principle that is developed here. In result, we…

Measurement in quantum mechanics is generally described as an irreversible process that perturbs the wavefunction describing a quantum system. In this work we establish a formal connection between the measurement description within the…

The Whitney embedding theorem gives an upper bound on the smallest embedding dimension of a manifold. If a data set lies on a manifold, a random projection into this reduced dimension will retain the manifold structure. Here we present an…

Let $\pi:X\to Y$ be a factor map, where $(X,\sigma_X)$ and $(Y,\sigma_Y)$ are subshifts over finite alphabets. Assume that $X$ satisfies weak specification. Let $\ba=(a_1,a_2)\in \R^2$ with $a_1>0$ and $a_2\geq 0$. Let $f$ be a continuous…

The classical isoperimetric inequality can be extended to a general normed plane. In the Euclidean plane, the defect in the isoperimetric inequality can be calculated in terms of the signed areas of some singular sets. In this paper we…

In the following paper, one studies, given a bounded, connected open set $\Omega$ $\subseteq$ R n , $\kappa$ > 0, a positive Radon measure $\mu$ 0 in $\Omega$ and a (signed) Radon measure $\mu$ on $\Omega$ satisfying $\mu$($\Omega$) = 0 and…

We show that there is a measure $\mu$, defined on the hyperbolic plane and with polynomial growth, such that the centered maximal operator associated to $\mu$ does not satisfy weak type $(1,1)$ bounds.

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…

Suppose $0 < \alpha \leq n$, $H: \Bbb R^n \to [0,1]$ is a Lebesgue measurable function, and $A_\alpha(H)$ is the infimum of all numbers $C$ for which the inequality $\int_B H(x) dx \leq C R^\alpha$ holds for all balls $B \subset \Bbb R^n$…

We study the isoperimetric problem for Euclidean space endowed with a continuous density. In dimension one, we characterize isoperimetric regions for a unimodal density. In higher dimensions, we prove existence results and we derive…

Given a metric space X, one defines its Wasserstein space W2(X) as a set of sufficiently decaying probability measures on X endowed with a metric defined from optimal transportation. In this article, we continue the geometric study of W2(X)…

We study the minimization of the positive principal eigenvalue associated to a weighted Neumann problem settled in a bounded smooth domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{N}$, within a suitable class of sign-changing weights. Denoting with $u$…

Given a large set $U$ where each item $a\in U$ has weight $w(a)$, we want to estimate the total weight $W=\sum_{a\in U} w(a)$ to within factor of $1\pm\varepsilon$ with some constant probability $>1/2$. Since $n=|U|$ is large, we want to do…
