Denoting by $E_{n}^{(+2)}(f)$ the best uniform approximation of $f$ by convex polynomials of degree $\le n$, there is an open question if there exists the limit $\lim_{n\to \infty}n^{\lambda}E_{n}^{(+2)}(|x|^{\lambda})$ for $\lambda \ge 1$.
In this paper, we give some stability estimates for the Faber-Krahn inequality relative to the eigenvalues of Hessian operators
In the present note we study absolute linear Harbourne constants. These are invariants which were introduced in order to relate the lower bounds on the selfintersection of negative curves on birationally equivalent surfaces to the…
We construct simple, explicit matrices with columns having unit $\ell^2$ norm and discrepancy approaching $1 + \sqrt{2} \approx 2.414$. This number gives a lower bound, the strongest known as far as we are aware, on the constant appearing…
We study inequalities connecting the product of uniform norms of polynomials with the norm of their product. This circle of problems include the Gelfond-Mahler inequality for the unit disk and the Kneser-Borwein inequality for the segment…
We demonstrate the first experimental violation of a spin-1 Bell inequality. The spin-1 inequality is a calculation based on the Clauser, Horne, Shimony and Holt formalism. For entangled spin-1 particles the maximum quantum mechanical…
We consider Hardy inequalities in $I R^n$, $n \geq 3$, with best constant that involve either distance to the boundary or distance to a surface of co-dimension $k<n$, and we show that they can still be improved by adding a multiple of a…
In this paper, we establish a scale invariant Harnack inequality for some inhomogeneous parabolic equations in a suitable intrinsic geometry dictated by the nonlinearity. The class of equations that we consider correspond to the parabolic…
Brun's constant is $B=\sum_{p \in P_{2}} p^{-1} + (p+2)^{-1}$, where the summation is over all twin primes. We improve the unconditional bounds on Brun's constant to $1.840503 < B < 2.288513$, which is about a 13\% improvement on the…
The Hardy--Littlewood inequality for $m$-linear forms on $\ell _{p}$ spaces and $m<p\leq 2m$ asserts that \begin{equation*} \left( \sum_{j_{1},...,j_{m}=1}^{\infty }\left\vert T\left( e_{j_{1}},\ldots ,e_{j_{m}}\right) \right\vert…
We perform an update of our previous analysis on the constraints on possible deviations of Hbb coupling from its Standard Model value, arising from a scalar-pseudoscalar mixing. In this paper we include a complete simulation of the process…
We shall establish two-side explicit inequalities, which are asymptotically sharp up to a constant factor, on the maximum value of $|H_k(x)| e^{-x^2/2},$ on the real axis, where $H_k$ are the Hermite polynomials.
The best bounds of the form $B(\alpha,\beta,\gamma,x)=(\alpha+\sqrt{\beta^2+\gamma^2 x^2})/x$ for ratios of modified Bessel functions are characterized: if $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$ are chosen in such a way that…
We present a second-order-in-time finite difference scheme for the Cahn-Hilliard-Hele-Shaw equations. This numerical method is uniquely solvable and unconditionally energy stable. At each time step, this scheme leads to a system of…
We study sharp weighted Sobolev-type inequalities of the form \[ \int_{0}^{1}|u(x)|\rho(x) \diff x \leqslant \Lambda \Bigl(\int_{0}^{1}|u^{(k)}(x)|^2 \diff x\Bigr)^{1/2}, \qquad u\in H_0^k(0,1), \] where $\rho$ is a non-negative weight. We…
Some attempts of easing the critical Hubble tension present in modern cosmology have resorted to using variations of fundamental constants, such as the fine-structure constant, at the time of recombination. In this article we demonstrate…
Recent developments in the determination of H0 are reviewed in the context of the 3 following questions: 1) What is required to measure an accurate value of H0? Given the wide range of H0 values quoted in the current literature, is there…
An analysis of detector-efficiency in many-site Clauser-Horne inequalities is presented, for the case of perfect visibility. It is shown that there is a violation of the presented n-site Clauser-Horne inequalities if and only if the…
We are concerned with the optimal constants: in the Korn inequality under tangential boundary conditions on bounded sets $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, and in the geometric rigidity estimate on the whole $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that the…
We obtain non-symmetric upper and lower bounds on the rate of convergence of general monotone approximation/numerical schemes for parabolic Hamilton Jacobi Bellman Equations by introducing a new notion of consistency. We apply our general…
