We investigate the role of convexity in R\'enyi entropy power inequalities. After proving that a general R\'enyi entropy power inequality in the style of Bobkov-Chistyakov (2015) fails when the R\'enyi parameter $r\in(0,1)$, we show that…
In this paper, we not only give the extensions of the results given in [7] by Gill et al. for log-convex functions, but also obtain some new Hadamard type inequalities for log-convex, m-convex and (alpha,m)-convex functions.
In this paper we extend some notions, previously defined for log-concave functions, to the larger domain of so-called {\alpha}-concave functions. We begin with a detailed discussion of support functions - first for log-concave functions,…
In this paper, we establish some new integral inequalities for for m- and (alpha,m)-logarithmically convex functions.
We present a characterization of operator log-convex functions by using positive linear mappings. Moreover, we study the non-commutative f-divergence functional of operator log-convex functions. In particular, we prove that f is operator…
This note is devoted to the proof of convex Sobolev (or generalized Poincar\'{e}) inequalities which interpolate between spectral gap (or Poincar\'{e}) inequalities and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. We extend to the whole family of…
We extend the notion of the smallest volume ellipsoid containing a convex body in~$\mathbb{R}^{d}$ to the setting of logarithmically concave functions. We consider a vast class of logarithmically concave functions whose superlevel sets are…
We obtain new concavity results, up to a suitable transformation, for a class of quasi-linear equations in a convex domain involving the $p$-Laplace operator and a general nonlinearity satisfying concavity type assumptions. This provides an…
We study the connection between the concavity properties of a measure $\nu$ and the convexity properties of the associated relative entropy $D(\cdot \Vert \nu)$ along optimal transport. As a corollary we prove a new dimensional…
In this paper, we establish some new inequalities of Ostrowski's type for functions whose derivatives in absolute value are the class of s-convex. Some applications for special means of real numbers are also provided. Finally, some error…
We show that $h_\infty(X+Y)\leq h_\infty(Z+W)$, where $X, Y$ are independent log-concave random variables, and $Z, W$ are exponential random variables having the same respective $\infty$-R\'enyi entropies. Analogs for integer-valued…
In this paper, we establish several inequalities for s-convex mappings that are connected with the Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals. Our results have some relationships with certain integral inequalities in the literature.
In this paper we define an addition operation on the class of quasi-concave functions. While the new operation is similar to the well-known sup-convolution, it has the property that it polarizes the Lebesgue integral. This allows us to…
In this paper we will study the equivalence between super-Poincar\'e inequality and some log-Sobolev type inequalities, including weak log-Sobolev inequality and super log-Sobolev inequality. The explicit relations between associated rate…
In this paper, we establish some new Ostrowski type inequalities for s-logarithmically convex functions by using Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals. Some applications of our results to P.D.F.'s are given.
We investigate the $m$-relative entropy, which stems from the Bregman divergence, on weighted Riemannian and Finsler manifolds. We prove that the displacement $K$-convexity of the $m$-relative entropy is equivalent to the combination of the…
We utilize a discrete version of the notion of degree of freedom to prove a sharp min-entropy-variance inequality for integer valued log-concave random variables. More specifically, we show that the geometric distribution minimizes the…
In this paper, we obtain some new inequalities for ({\alpha},m)-convex functions. The analysis used in the proofs is fairly elementary and based on the use of Power-mean inequality.
We consider a quantum quasi-relative entropy $S_f^K$ for an operator $K$ and an operator convex function $f$. We show how to obtain the error bounds for the monotonicity and joint convexity inequalities from the recent results for the…
We find sufficient conditions for log-convexity and log-concavity for the functions of the forms $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}(a)_kx^k$, $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}\Gamma(a+k)x^k$ and $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}x^k/(a)_k$. The most useful examples of such functions are…
