A functional analog of the Klain-Schneider theorem for vector-valued valuations on convex functions is established, providing a classification of continuous, translation covariant, simple valuations. Under additional rotation equivariance…
In this paper, a general integral identity for convex functions is derived. Then, we establish new some inequalities of the Simpson and the Hermite-Hadamard's type for functions whose absolute values of derivatives are convex. Some…
We study geometric properties of trace functionals that generalize those in [Zhang, Adv. Math. 365:107053 (2020)], arising from a novel family of conditional entropies with applications in quantum information. Building on new convexity…
Divergences are quantities that measure discrepancy between two probability distributions and play an important role in various fields such as statistics and machine learning. Divergences are non-negative and are equal to zero if and only…
In this paper, we obtain some companions of Ostrowski type inequality for absolutely continuous functions whose second derivatives absolute value are s-convex and s-concave.
All upper semicontinuous and SL(n) invariant valuations on convex bodies containing the origin in their interiors are completely classified. Each such valuation is shown to be a linear combination of the Euler characteristic, the volume,…
A new version of the Hadwiger theorem on convex functions is established and an explicit representation of functional intrinsic volumes is found using new functional Cauchy-Kubota formulas. In addition, connections between functional…
We introduce extremal affine surface areas in a functional setting. We show their main properties. Among them are linear invariance, isoperimetric inequalities and monotonicity properties. We establish a new duality formula, which shows…
We show that Shannon's entropy--power inequality admits a strengthened version in the case in which the densities are log-concave. In such a case, in fact, one can extend the Blachman--Stam argument to obtain a sharp inequality for the…
In this paper, we establish three inequalities for differentiable s-geometrically and geometrically convex functions which are connected with the famous Hermite-Hadamard inequality holding for convex functions. Some applications to special…
For positive definite matrices $A$ and $B$, the Araki-Lieb-Thirring inequality amounts to an eigenvalue log-submajorisation relation for fractional powers $$\lambda(A^t B^t) \prec_{w(\log)} \lambda^t(AB), \quad 0<t\le 1,$$ while for…
In this work we deal with set-valued functions with values in the power set of a separated locally convex space where a nontrivial pointed convex cone induces a partial order relation. A set-valued function is evenly convex if its epigraph…
We introduce a generalization of relative entropy derived from the Wigner-Yanase-Dyson entropy and give a simple, self-contained proof that it is convex. Moreover, special cases yield the joint convexity of relative entropy, and for the map…
In this work we present a new, natural, definition for the mean width of log-concave functions. We show that the new definition coincide with a previous one by B. Klartag and V. Milman, and deduce some properties of the mean width,…
We continue our study of geometric analysis on (possibly non-reversible) Finsler manifolds, based on the Bochner inequality established by the author and Sturm. Following the approach of the $\Gamma$-calculus a la Bakry et al, we show the…
We consider a sub-class of the $f$-divergences satisfying a stronger convexity property, which we refer to as strongly convex, or $\kappa$-convex divergences. We derive new and old relationships, based on convexity arguments, between…
We consider the problem of causal inference based on observational data (or the related missing data problem) with a binary or discrete treatment variable. In that context, we study inference for the counterfactual density functions and…
In this paper, approximate convexity and approximate midconvexity properties, called $\varphi$-convexity and $\varphi$-midconvexity, of real valued function are investigated. Various characterizations of $\varphi$-convex and…
In a statistical mechanics model with unbounded spins, we prove uniqueness of the Gibbs measure under various assumptions on finite volume functional inequalities. We follow the approach of G. Royer (1999) and obtain uniqueness by showing…
In this note we extend some new estimates of the integral $\int_a^b (x-a)^p(b-x)^qf(x)dx$ for functions when a power of the absolute value is $P-$convex.
