Matrix versions of some basic convexity inequalities are given. Further results on the same topic are proved in the recent papers on arxiv: 1. Hermitian operators and convex functions, 2. A concavity inequality for symmetric norms, 3.…

We introduce the notion of an interpolating path on the set of probability measures on finite graphs. Using this notion, we first prove a displacement convexity property of entropy along such a path and derive Prekopa-Leindler type…

The aim of this paper is to obtain new Hardy inequalities with double singular weights - at an interior point and on the boundary of the domain. These inequalities give us the possibility to derive estimates from below of the first…

This thesis develops a new divergence that generalizes relative entropy and can be used to compare probability measures without a requirement of absolute continuity. We establish properties of the divergence, and in particular derive and…

In this paper, we establish coincidence-like results in the case when the values of the correspondences are not convex. In order to do this, we define a new type of correspondences, namely properly quasi-convex-like. Further, we apply the…

We consider the problem of minimising the $L^\infty$ norm of a function of the hessian over a class of maps, subject to a mass constraint involving the $L^\infty$ norm of a function of the gradient and the map itself. We assume zeroth and…

We define, in the frame of an abstract Wiener space, the notions of convexity and of concavity for the equivalence classes of random variables. As application we show that some important inequalities of the finite dimensional case have…

The main result of the paper shows that the regular $n$-gon is a local minimizer for the first Dirichlet-Laplace eigenvalue among $n$-gons having fixed area for $n \in \{5,6\}$. The eigenvalue is seen as a function of the coordinates of the…

This paper studies the weighted Hardy inequalities on the discrete intervals with four different kinds of boundary conditions. The main result is the uniform expression of the basic estimate of the optimal constant with the corresponding…

It is well known that any measure in S^2 satisfying certain simple conditions is the surface measure of a bounded convex body in R^3. It is also known that a local perturbation of the surface measure may lead to a nonlocal perturbation of…

We study the boundary behavior of solutions to the Dirichlet problems for integro-differential operators with order of differentiability $s \in (0, 1)$ and summability $p>1$. We establish a nonlocal counterpart of the Wiener criterion,…

We develop a new, unified approach to the following two classical questions on elliptic PDE: the strong maximum principle for equations with non-Lipschitz nonlinearities, and the at most exponential decay of solutions in the whole space or…
