In this paper we obtain the best constants in some higher order Sobolev inequalities in the critical exponent. These inequalities can be separated into two types: those that embed into $L^\infty(\mathbb{R}^N)$ and those that embed into…

Let S_n:=a_1\vp_1+...+a_n\vp_n, where \vp_1,...,\vp_n are independent Rademacher random variables (r.v.'s) and a_1,...,a_n are any real numbers such that a_1^2+...+a_n^2=1. Let Z be a standard normal r.v. It is proved that the best constant…

We find the sharp constant $C=C(\tau,p, \mathbb{E}G, \mathbb{E}F)$ of the following inequality $\|(G^{2}+ \tau^{2} F^{2})^{1/2} \|_{p} \leq C \|F\|_{p},$ where $G$ is the transform of a martingale $F$ under a predictable sequence…

In this paper we prove that there exists a constant $C$ such that, if $S,\Sigma$ are subsets of $\R^d$ of finite measure, then for every function $f\in L^2(\R^d)$, $$\int_{\R^d}|f(x)|^2 dx \leq C e^{C \min(|S||\Sigma|, |S|^{1/d}w(\Sigma),…

Let $\mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} = \int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-st}f(t)dt$ denote the Laplace transform of $f$. It is well-known that if $f(t)$ is a piecewise continuous function on the interval $t:[0,\infty)$ and of exponential order for $t > N$; then…

In this paper, we prove a variant of the Burger-Brooks transfer principle which, combined with recent eigenvalue bounds for surfaces, allows to obtain upper bounds on the eigenvalues of graphs as a function of their genus. More precisely,…

We improve the constant $\frac{\pi}{2}$ in $L^1$-Poincar\'e inequality on Hamming cube. For Gaussian space the sharp constant in $L^1$ inequality is known, and it is $\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2}}$. For Hamming cube the sharp constant is not known,…
