We prove local inequalities for analytic functions defined on a convex body in $\Re^{n}$ which generalize well-known classical inequalities for polynomials.

Motivated by a long-standing conjecture of Polya and Szeg\"o about the Newtonian capacity of convex bodies, we discuss the role of concavity inequalities in shape optimization, and we provide several counterexamples to the…

Suppose that $f$ belongs to a suitably defined complete metric space $ {{\cal C}}^{{\alpha}}$ of H\"older $ {\alpha}$-functions defined on $[0,1]$. We are interested in whether one can find large (in the sense of Hausdorff, or lower/upper…

We show that differentiable functions, defined on a convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb R^d$, whose derivatives do not exceed a suitable given sequence of positive real numbers share many properties with polynomials. The role of the degree of…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the class of normalized analytic functions $f$ in the open unit disk defined as $ \mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\} $ with $f(0)=0$ and $f'(0)=1$. A function $f\in\mathcal{A}$ is said to be starlike if…

In this expository paper we discuss the volume product P(K) of convex bodies K in $R^n$; this is the product of volumes of K and its polar K*. The Blaschke- Santalo inequalities state that always $ P(K) \le P(B_2)$ and $ P(B_1)\le P(K)$ .…

We show that there are functions $f$ in the H\"older class $C^{ { \alpha }}[0,1]$, $1< { \alpha }<2$ such that $f|_{A}$ is not convex, nor concave for any $A { \subset } [0,1]$ with $ { \bar { dim }_M } A> { \alpha }-1$. Our earlier result…

In the present paper, we will discuss the Hankel determinants $H(f) =a_2a_4-a_3^2$ of order 2 for normalized concave functions $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\dots$ with a pole at $p\in(0,1).$ Here, a meromorphic function is called concave if it…

Let K be a closed bounded convex subset of $\Bbb R^n$; then by a result of the first author, which extends a classical theorem of Whitney there is a constant $w_m(K)$ so that for every continuous function f on K there is a polynomial $\phi$…

Given a compact convex domain $C\subset \mathbb{R}^k$ and bounded measurable functions $f_1,\ldots,f_n:C\to \mathbb{R}$, define the sup-convolution $(f_1\ast \ldots \ast f_n)(z)$ to be the supremum average value of…

For a function $f$, continuous on a compact convex set $K$ and analytic in its interior we construct a sequence of almost optimal polynomials that converge with a geometric rate at points of analyticity of $f$.

We say that a subset of C^n is hypoconvex if its complement is the union of complex hyperplanes. Let D be the closed unit disk in C, T the unit circle. We prove two conjectures of Helton and Marshall. (See ``Frequency domain design and…
