For $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$ and $m$ a positive integer, we remark that there is a constant $C$ so that, for all $r\in\lbrack1,\frac {2m}{m+1}],$ the supremum of the ratio between the $\ell_{r}$ norm of the coefficients of…
Bell-type inequalities and violations thereof reveal the fundamental differences between standard probability theory and its quantum counterpart. In the course of previous investigations ultimate bounds on quantum mechanical violations have…
We collect some results in combinatorial geometry that follow from an inequality of Langer in algebraic geometry. Langer's inequality gives a lower bound on the number of incidences between a point set and its spanned lines, and was…
In this paper, we almost completely solve the existence of an almost resolvable cycle system with odd cycle length. We also use almost resolvable cycle systems as well as other combinatorial structures to give some new solutions to the…
Halls exact variance decomposition [Phys. Rev. A 64, 052103 (2001)] splits the quantum variance of an observable into the ensemble variance of an optimal position based estimate and a residual nonclassical inaccuracy. We evaluate this…
We obtain the sharp constant for the Hardy-Sobolev inequality involving the distance to the origin. This inequality is equivalent to a limiting Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality. In three dimensions, in certain cases the sharp constant…
We are at an interesting juncture in cosmology. With new methods and technology, the accuracy in measurement of the Hubble constant has vastly improved, but a recent tension has arisen that is either signaling new physics or as-yet…
LECTURE GIVEN AT TH2002. Given a set of Boolean variables, and some constraints between them, is it possible to find a configuration of the variables which satisfies all constraints? This problem, which is at the heart of combinatorial…
Simple inequalities are established for some integrals involving the modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind. In most cases, we show that we obtain the best possible constant or that our bounds are tight in certain limits. We…
Theoretical considerations of Bell-inequality experiments usually assume identically prepared and independent pairs of particles. Here we consider pairs that exhibit both intra- and inter-pair entanglement. The pairs are taken from a large…
The Brunn-Minkowski inequality, applicable to bounded measurable sets $A$ and $B$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, states that $|A+B|^{1/d} \geq |A|^{1/d}+|B|^{1/d}$. Equality is achieved if and only if $A$ and $B$ are convex and homothetic sets in…
Time delays between lensed multiple images have been known to provide an interesting probe of the Hubble constant, but such application is often limited by degeneracies with the shape of lens potentials. We propose a new statistical…
We show that a recent observation by Yan leads to a method to experimentally test whether a higher-than-quantum violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt Bell inequality is possible (assuming that the sum of probabilities of pairwise…
In 1931 Bohnenblust and Hille proved that for each m-homogeneous polynomial $\sum_{|\alpha| = m} a_\alpha z^\alpha$ on $\C^n$ the $\ell^{\frac{2m}{m+1}}$-norm of its coefficients is bounded from above by a constant $C_m$ (depending only on…
The indefinite sign of the Hamiltonian constraint means that solutions to Einstein's equations must achieve a delicate balance--often among numerically large terms that nearly cancel. If numerical errors cause a violation of the Hamiltonian…
This paper concerns the problem of determining the optimal constant in the Montgomery--Vaughan weighted generalization of Hilbert's inequality. We consider an approach pursued by previous authors via a parametric family of inequalities. We…
It is demonstrated that multiplier methods naturally yield better constants in strong converse inequalities for the Bernstein-Durrmeyer operator. The absolute constants obtained in some of the inequalities are independent of the weight and…
This paper studies the Hardy-type inequalities on the discrete intervals. The first result is the variational formulas of the optimal constants. Using these formulas, one may obtain an approximating procedure and the known basic estimates…
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…
A family of Bell-type inequalities is present, which are constructed directly from the "standard" Bell inequalities involving two dichotomic observables per site. It is shown that the inequalities are violated by all the generalized…
