We investigate the best constant $J(n,d)$ such that Jackson's inequality \[ \inf_{\mathrm{deg}(g) \leq d} \|f - g\|_{\infty} \leq J(n,d) \, s(f), \] holds for all functions $f$ on the hypercube $\{0,1\}^n$, where $s(f)$ denotes the…

In this note, we consider Jensen's inequality for the nonlinear expectation associated with backward SDEs driven by $G$-Brownian motion ($G$-BSDEs for short). At first, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for $G$-BSDEs under which…

For a function defined on a convex set in a Euclidean space, midpoint convexity is the property requiring that the value of the function at the midpoint of any line segment is not greater than the average of its values at the endpoints of…

We generalize Gr\"unbaum's classical inequality in convex geometry to curved spaces with nonnegative Ricci curvature, precisely, to $\mathrm{RCD}(0,N)$-spaces with $N \in (1,\infty)$ as well as weighted Riemannian manifolds of…

We establish a Harnack inequality for weak solutions of nonlocal equations in a disconnected region. The inequality compares the value of a solution on one connected component with its value on another, capturing a purely nonlocal…

The inverse tangent function can be bounded by different inequalities, for example by Shafer's inequality. In this publication, we propose a new sharp double inequality, consisting of a lower and an upper bound, for the inverse tangent…

By considering a fixed point in unit disk $\Delta$, a new class of univalent convex functions is defined. Coefficient inequalities, integral operator and extreme points of this class are obtained.

One obtains Bell's inequalities if one posits a hypothetical joint probability distribution, or {\it measure}, whose marginals yield the probabilities produced by the spin measurements in question. The existence of a joint measure is in…

We consider the variational inequality problem over the intersection of fixed point sets of firmly nonexpansive operators. In order to solve the problem, we present an algorithm and subsequently show the strong convergence of the generated…

In this note we deal with some inequalities for the tangent function that are valid for $x$ in $(-\pi/2,\pi/2)$. These inequalities are optimal in the sense that the best values of the exponents involved are obtained.
