The rearrangement inequalities of Hardy-Littlewood and Riesz say that certain integrals involving products of two or three functions increase under symmetric decreasing rearrangement. It is known that these inequalities extend to integrands…

Let $A$ be a positive definite operator on a Hilbert space $H$, and $|||.|||$ be a unitarily invariant norm on $B(H)$. We show that if $f$ is an operator monotone function on $(0,\infty)$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$, then $|||D^n…

Given $d_1,\ldots,d_k$ in the field $F$, there is a weighted trace function $F^k\rightarrow F$ given by $tr(x_1,\ldots,x_k)=\sum d_ix_i$. We prove that $F^k$ satisfies trace identities of the forms $\alpha(d_1,\ldots,d_k) x^N=$ a linear…

In this paper we show existence of traces of functions of bounded variation on the boundary of a certain class of domains in metric measure spaces equipped with a doubling measure supporting a $1$-Poincar\'e inequality, and obtain $L^1$…

We classify functions $f:(a,b)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ which satisfy the inequality $$\operatorname{tr} f(A)+f(C)\geq \operatorname{tr} f(B)+f(D)$$ when $A\leq B\leq C$ are self-adjoint matrices, $D= A+C-B$, the so-called trace minmax…

The quantum relative entropy is a measure of the distinguishability of two quantum states, and it is a unifying concept in quantum information theory: many information measures such as entropy, conditional entropy, mutual information, and…

We prove various Hardy-type and uncertainty inequalities on a stratified Lie group $G$. In particular, we show that the operators $T_\alpha: f \mapsto |.|^{-\alpha} L^{-\alpha/2} f$, where $|.|$ is a homogeneous norm, $0 < \alpha < Q/p$,…

A three-parameter logarithmic function is derived using the notion of q-analogue and ansatz technique. The derived three-parameter logarithm is shown to be a generalization of the two-parameter logarithmic function of Schwammle and Tsallis…

In previous work (see arxiv:1102.3040), we have defined the telescopic relative entropy (TRE), which is a regularisation of the quantum relative entropy $S(\rho||\sigma)=\trace\rho(\log\rho-\log\sigma)$, by replacing the second argument…

In this paper, we study the properties of integral functionals induced on $L^1_E (S,\mu)$ by closed convex functions on a Euclidean space $E$. We give sufficient conditions for such integral functions to be strongly rotund (well-posed). We…

We consider the computation of stable approximations to the exact solution $x^\dag$ of nonlinear ill-posed inverse problems $F(x)=y$ with nonlinear operators $F:X\to Y$ between two Hilbert spaces $X$ and $Y$ by the Newton type methods $$…

We prove a lower estimate on the increase in entropy when two copies of a conditional random variable $X | Y$, with $X$ supported on $\mathbb{Z}_q=\{0,1,\dots,q-1\}$ for prime $q$, are summed modulo $q$. Specifically, given two i.i.d copies…

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…

Divergences, also known as contrast functions, are distance-like quantities defined on manifolds of non-negative or probability measures. Using the duality in optimal transport, we introduce and study the one-parameter family of $L^{(\pm…

Let $X$ be a real-valued random variable with distribution function $F$. Set $X_1,\dots, X_m$ to be independent copies of $X$ and let $F_m$ be the corresponding empirical distribution function. We show that there are absolute constants…

Talagrand's inequalities make a link between two fundamentals concepts of probability: transport of measures and entropy. The study of the counterpart of these inequalities in the context of free probability has been initiated by Biane and…

We obtain formulas for Petz-R\'enyi and Umegaki relative entropy from the idea of distribution of a positive selfadjoint operator. Classical results on R\'enyi and Kullback-Leibler divergences are applied to obtain new results and new…
