Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex domain and let $f:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a positive, subharmonic function (i.e. $\Delta f \geq 0$). Then $$ \frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int_{\Omega}{f dx} \leq \frac{c_n}{ |\partial \Omega| }…

For any densely defined, lower semi-continuous trace \tau on a C*-algebra A with mutually commuting C*-subalgebras A_1, A_2, ... A_n, and a convex function f of n variables, we give a short proof of the fact that the function (x_1, x_2,…

We present several matrix and operator inequalities of Hermite-Hadamard type. We first establish a majorization version for monotone convex functions on matrices. We then utilize the Mond-Pecaric method to get an operator version for convex…

We observe that if f is a continuous function on an interval I and x_0 \in I, then f is operator monotone if and only if the function (f(x) - f(x_0)/(x - x_0) is strongly operator convex. Then starting with an operator monotone function…

In this paper, we establish some upper bounds for numerical radius inequalities including of $2\times 2$ operator matrices and their off-diagonal parts. Among other inequalities, it is shown that if $T=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 0&X, Y&0…

We show that positively $1$--homogeneous rank one convex functions are convex at $0$ and at matrices of rank one. The result is a special case of an abstract convexity result that we establish for positively $1$--homogeneous directionally…

We present results about minimization of convex functionals defined over a finite set of vectors in a finite dimensional Hilbert space, that extend several known results for the Benedetto-Fickus frame potential. Our approach depends on…

Given an n-tuple of multiplication operators on the Bergman space of a bounded pseudoconvex domain in C^n, we study the algebra of their commutants. In particular, we give a geometric description of the maximal C*-subalgebra of this…

The study of convex functions - in particular, of their optimization (really minimization) is one of the most important fields of applied mathematics. Convexity seems to be one of those incredibly well-chosen hypotheses which is just…

Using the properties of geometric mean, we shall show for any $0\le \alpha ,\beta \le 1$, \[f\left( A{{\nabla }_{\alpha }}B \right)\le f\left( \left( A{{\nabla }_{\alpha }}B \right){{\nabla }_{\beta }}A \right){{\sharp}_{\alpha }}f\left(…

Some extremalities for quadrature operators are proved for convex functions of higher order. Such results are known in the numerical analysis, however they are often proved under suitable differentiability assumptions. In our considerations…

It is well-known that every convex function admits an affine support at every interior point of a domain. Convex functions of higher order (precisely of an odd order) have a similar property: they are supported by the polynomials of degree…

We provide comparison principles for convex functions through its proximal mappings. Consequently, we prove that the norm of the proximal operator determines a convex the function up to a constant. A new characterization of Lipschitzianity…

A real valued function $f$ defined on a real open interval $I$ is called $\Phi$-convex if, for all $x,y\in I$, $t\in[0,1]$ it satisfies $$ f(tx+(1-t)y)\leq tf(x)+(1-t)f(y)+t\Phi\big((1-t)|x-y|\big)+(1-t)\Phi\big(t|x-y|\big), $$ where…

For an analytic function f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^\infty a_n z^n satisfying the inequality \sum_{n=2}^\infty n(n-1)|a_n|\leq \beta, sharp bound on $\beta$ is determined so that $f$ is either starlike or convex of order $\alpha$. Several other…
