In this paper, we obtain some new inequalities for ({\alpha},m)-convex functions. The analysis used in the proofs is fairly elementary and based on the use of Power-mean inequality.
For two positive real numbers $x$ and $y$ let $H$, $G$, $A$ and $Q$ be the harmonic mean, the geometric mean, the arithmetic mean and the quadratic mean of $x$ and $y$, respectively. In this note, we prove that \begin{equation*} A\cdot G\ge…
Let $I\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ be a nonempty open subinterval. We say that a two-variable mean $M:I\times I\to\mathbb{R}$ enjoys the \emph{balancing property} if, for all $x,y\in I$, the equality \begin{equation}\tag{1}…
We give a concentration inequality based on the premise that random variables take values within a particular region. The concentration inequality guarantees that, for any sequence of correlated random variables, the difference between the…
In the paper, the authors find the greatest value $\lambda$ and the least value $\mu $ such that the double inequality \begin{multline*} C(\lambda a+(1-\lambda)b,\lambda b+(1-\lambda )a)<\alpha A(a,b)+(1-\alpha)T(a,b)\\ < C(\mu…
We investigate the stability of quantum positivity cones under nonlinear operator means. Specifically, we examine how Kubo--Ando means interact with the separable, positive partial transpose (PPT), and Schmidt-number cones. By analyzing the…
Retrospective causal questions ask what would have happened to an observed individual had they received a different treatment. We study the problem of estimating $\mu(x,y)=\mathbb{E}[Y(1)\mid X=x,Y(0)=y]$, the expected counterfactual…
In this note we revisit the classical geometric-arithmetic mean inequality and find a formula for the difference of the arithmetic and the geometric means of given $n\in\mathbb N$ nonnegative numbers $x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n$. The formula yields…
A random variable $Y_1$ is said to be smaller than $Y_2$ in the increasing concave stochastic order if $\mathbb{E}[\phi(Y_1)] \leq \mathbb{E}[\phi(Y_2)]$ for all increasing concave functions $\phi$ for which the expected values exist, and…
The BK inequality (\cite{BK85}) says that,for product measures on $\{0,1\}^n$, the probability that two increasing events $A$ and $B$ `occur disjointly' is at most the product of the two individual probabilities. The conjecture in…
The covariance between real finite variance random variables can be expressed as the commutator of taking expectations and multiplying, both viewed as operators extended to act jointly on pairs of functions. The efficient influence curve of…
In this article we consider means of positive bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space. We present a complete theory that provides a framework which extends the theory of the Karcher mean, its approximating matrix power means, and a…
In this paper, we prove that the inequalities $\alpha [1/3 Q(a,b)+2/3 A(a,b)]+(1-\alpha)Q^{1/3}(a,b)A^{2/3}(a,b)<M(a,b) <\beta [1/3 Q(a,b)+2/3 A(a,b)]+(1-\beta)Q^{1/3}(a,b)A^{2/3}(a,b)$ and $\lambda [1/6 C(a,b)+5/6…
Harmonic, Geometric, Arithmetic, Heronian and Contraharmonic means have been studied by many mathematicians. In 2003, H. Evens studied these means from geometrical point of view and established some of the inequalities between them in using…
In this note we establish some appropriate conditions for stochastic equality of two random variables/vectors which are ordered with respect to convex ordering or with respect to supermodular ordering. Multivariate extensions of this result…
We establish a general criterion for the validity of inequalities of the following form: A certain convex combination of the values of a convex function at n points and of its value at a weighted mean of these n points is always greater or…
We introduce the notion of a random mean generated by a random variable and give a construction of its expected value. We derive some sufficient conditions under which strong laws of large numbers and some limit theorems hold for random…
Let $I, J\subset \mathbb{R}$ be closed intervals, and let $H$ be $C^{3}$ smooth real valued function on $I\times J$ with nonvanishing $H_{x}$ and $H_{y}$. Take any fixed positive numbers $a,b$, and let $d\mu$ be a probability measure with…
An inequality is derived for the correlation of two univariate functions operating on symmetric bivariate normal random variables. The inequality is a simple consequence of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.
We provide a complete characterization of a subclass of weakly associative means of positive operators in the class of symmetric Kubo-Ando means. This class, which includes the geometric mean, was first introduced and studied in L.…
