This paper studies Fenchel-Young losses, a generic way to construct convex loss functions from a regularization function. We analyze their properties in depth, showing that they unify many well-known loss functions and allow to create…
The classical concept of Fenchel conjugation is tailored to extended real-valued functions defined on linear spaces. In this paper we generalize this concept to functions defined on arbitrary sets that do not necessarily bear any structure…
Legendre's relation for the complete elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds is generalized. The proof depends on an application of the generalized trigonometric functions and is alternative to the proof for Elliott's identity.
A class of second-order differential equations commonly arising in physics applications are considered, and their explicit hypergeometric solutions are provided. Further, the relationship with the Generalized and Universal Associated…
In this paper we show a some new look at large deviation theorems from the viewpoint of the information-spectrum (IS) methods, which has been first exploited in information theory, and also demonstrate a new basic formula for the large…
We generalize the fractional variational problem by allowing the possibility that the lower bound in the fractional derivative does not coincide with the lower bound of the integral that is minimized. Also, for the standard case when these…
We establish generalized Gaussian bounds and local limit theorems with Gaussian-type error for the convolution powers of certain complex-valued functions on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. These global space-times estimates/error, which are sharp in…
Polarity is a fundamental reciprocal duality of $n$-dimensional projective geometry which associates to points polar hyperplanes, and more generally $k$-dimensional convex bodies to polar $(n-1-k)$-dimensional convex bodies. It is…
The problem of guessing a random string is revisited. A close relation between guessing and compression is first established. Then it is shown that if the sequence of distributions of the information spectrum satisfies the large deviation…
The Generalized Relative Entropy inequality is a ubiquitous property in mathematical models applied in physics or biology. In spite of its importance, it is currently proved on a case-by-case basis in the literature. Here, we show that GRE…

We generalise the classical Pinsker inequality which relates variational divergence to Kullback-Liebler divergence in two ways: we consider arbitrary f-divergences in place of KL divergence, and we assume knowledge of a sequence of values…
We geometrically study the Legendre duality relation that plays an important role in statistical physics with the standard or generalized entropies. For this purpose, we introduce dualistic structure defined by information geometry, and…
The notion of the H\"older convolution is introduced. The main result is that, under general conditions on functions L_1, ..., L_n, the function inverse to the Legendre--Fenchel transform of the H\"older convolution of L_1, ..., L_n…
In this paper, on the basis of a (Fenchel) duality theory on the continuous level, we derive an $\textit{a posteriori}$ error identity for arbitrary conforming approximations of a primal formulation and a dual formulation of variational…
The violation of Lorentz symmetry can arise in a variety of approaches to fundamental physics. For the description of the associated low-energy effects, a dynamical framework known as the Standard-Model Extension has been developed. This…
From a variational perspective, many statistical learning criteria involve seeking a distribution that balances empirical risk and regularization. In this paper, we broaden this perspective by introducing a new general class of variational…
In this paper we are concerned with a Gordan-type theorem involving an arbitrary number of inequality functions. We not only state its validity under a weak convexity assumption on the functions, but also show it is an optimal result. We…
We review the recent generalized fractional calculus of variations. We consider variational problems containing generalized fractional integrals and derivatives and study them using indirect methods. In particular, we provide necessary…
