We compute the best constants in some second order dilation invariant inequalities, with weights being powers of the distance from the origin.
In this paper we derive sharp lower and upper bounds for the covariance of two bounded random variables when knowledge about their expected values, variances or both is available. When only the expected values are known, our result can be…
We consider Lagrange interpolation on the set of finitely many intervals. This problem is closely related to the least deviating polynomial from zero on such sets. We will obtain lower and upper estimates for the corresponding Lebesgue…
Two--sided bounds are constructed for a probability density function of a weighted sum of chi-square variables. Both cases of central and non-central chi-square variables are considered. The upper and lower bounds have the same dependence…
We give a slight extension of the Hermite-Hadamard inequality on simplices and we use it to establish error bounds of the operators connected with the approximate integration.
We present inequalities and some applications to Kellers' limit and Carlemans' inequality.
An estimate of the order of approximation in the central limit theorem for strictly stationary associated random variables with finite moments of order q > 2 is obtained. A moderate deviation result is also obtained. We have a refinement of…
Let P be a linear, second order, elliptic operator satisfying a Hardy inequality with potential W (i.e. $P-W\geq0$) and best constant $\alpha$. We give conditions so that the spectrum of $W^{-1}P$ is $[\alpha,\infty)$. We apply this to…
We obtain optimal moment bounds for Birkhoff sums, and optimal concentration inequalities, for a large class of slowly mixing dynamical systems, including those that admit anomalous diffusion in the form of a stable law or a central limit…
The best known method to give a lower bound for the Noether number of a given finite group is to use the fact that it is greater than or equal to the Noether number of any of the subgroups or factor groups. The results of the present paper…
Two types of errors can occur when discriminating pairs of quantum states. Asymmetric state discrimination involves minimizing the probability of one type of error, subject to a constraint on the other. We give explicit expressions bounding…
For numerical approximation the reformulation of a PDE as a residual minimisation problem has the advantages that the resulting linear system is symmetric positive definite, and that the norm of the residual provides an a posteriori error…
The purpose of this paper is to prove local upper and lower bounds for weak solutions of semilinear elliptic equations of the form $-\Delta u= c u^p$, with $0<p<p_s=(d+2)/(d-2)$, defined on bounded domains of $\RR^d$, $d\ge 3$, without…
We establish a strong form of Littlewood's conjecture with inhomogeneous shifts, for a full-dimensional set of pairs of badly approximable numbers on a vertical line. We also prove a uniform assertion of this nature, generalising a strong…
To estimate the optimal constant in Hardy-type inequalities, some variational formulas and approximating procedures are introduced. The known basic estimates are improved considerably. The results are illustrated by typical examples. It is…
We provide finite sample upper and lower bounds on the Binomial tail probability which are a direct application of Sanov's theorem. We then use these to obtain high probability upper and lower bounds on the minimum of i.i.d. Binomial random…
This paper proves several weak limit theorems for the joint version of extreme order statistics and partial sums of independently and identically distributed random variables. The results are also extended to almost sure limit version.
We approximate an elliptic problem with oscillatory coefficients using a problem of the same type, but with constant coefficients. We deliberately take an engineering perspective, where the information on the oscillatory coefficients in the…
We obtain the sharp constant for the Hardy-Sobolev inequality involving the distance to the origin. This inequality is equivalent to a limiting Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality. In three dimensions, in certain cases the sharp constant…
We present some new and explicit error bounds for the approximation of distributions. The approximation error is quantified by the maximal density ratio of the distribution $Q$ to be approximated and its proxy $P$. This non-symmetric…
