We consider a type of Hardy-Sobolev inequality, whose weight function is singular on the whole domain boundary. We are concerned with the attainability of the best constant of such inequality. In dimension two, we link the inequality to a…

The well-known von Bahr--Esseen bound on the absolute $p$th moments of martingales with $p\in(1,2]$ is extended to a large class of moment functions, and now with a best possible constant factor (which depends on the moment function). This…

This paper deals with the optimization of Bolza problem with a system of convex and nonconvex, discrete and differential state variable inequality constraints of second order by deriving necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality.…

In this work we prove some Hardy-Poincar\'{e} inequalities with quadratic singular potentials localized on the boundary of a smooth domain. Then, we consider conical domains with vertex on the singularity and we show upper and lower bounds…

We obtain large and moderate deviation estimates, as well as concentration inequalities, for a class of nonuniformly expanding maps with stretched exponential decay of correlations. In the large deviation regime, we also exhibit examples…

We determine the optimal orders for the best constants in the non-commutative Burkholder-Gundy, Doob and Stein inequalities obtained recently in the non-commutative martingale theory.

We extend the classical Schwarz-Pick inequality to the class of harmonic mappings between the unit disk and a Jordan domain with given perimeter. It is intriguing that the extremals in this case are certain harmonic diffeomorphisms between…

A new notion of an optimal algebra for a first order coordinate differential was introduced in \cite{BKO}. Some relevant examples are indicated. Quadratic identities in the optimal algebras and calculi on quadratic algebras are studied.…

We study the inverse boundary value problem for the Helmholtz equation using the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map at selected frequency as the data. We develop an explicit reconstruction of the wavespeed using a multi-level nonlinear projected…

We address the optimal constants in the strong and the weak Stechkin inequalities, both in their discrete and continuous variants. These inequalities appear in the characterization of approximation spaces which arise from sparse…

It is shown by a counterexample that isocapacitary and isoperimetric constants of a multi-dimensional Euclidean domain starshaped with respect to a ball are not equivalent. Sharp integral inequalities involving the harmonic capacity which…

We obtain optimal moment bounds for Birkhoff sums, and optimal concentration inequalities, for a large class of slowly mixing dynamical systems, including those that admit anomalous diffusion in the form of a stable law or a central limit…

The optimal constants are found for Lebesgue norm multilinear inequalities of Holder-Brascamp-Lieb type for arbitrary discrete Abelian groups. Previously a criterion for finiteness of the constants had been established for finitely…

We are concerned with the optimal constants: in the Korn inequality under tangential boundary conditions on bounded sets $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, and in the geometric rigidity estimate on the whole $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that the…

We consider the family of non-local and non-convex functionals proposed and investigated by J. Bourgain, H. Brezis and H.-M. Nguyen in a series of papers of the last decade. It was known that this family of functionals Gamma-converges to a…

We give simple new proofs of two well-known results for the Schr\"odinger operator: first, the Brunn--Minkowski inequality for Dirichlet eigenvalues and, second, the log-concavity of the first Dirichlet eigenfunction. Our proof of the first…

Let $\O$ be a bounded domain in $\R^N$ with $0\in\de\O$ and $N\ge 2$. In this paper we study the Hardy-Poincar\'e inequality for maps in $H^1_0(\Omega)$. In particular we give sufficient and some necessary conditions so that the best…

Following the recent work [13] fulfilled in the discrete case, we pro- vide in this paper new intertwining relations for semigroups of one-dimensional diffusions. Various applications of these results are investigated, among them the famous…

Using Talagrand's concentration inequality on the discrete cube {0,1}^m we show that given a real-valued function Z(x)on {0,1}^m that satisfies certain monotonicity conditions one can control the deviations of Z(x) above its median by a…
