Let $f$ be a nonnegative function supported on $(-1/4, 1/4)$. We show $$ \sup_{x \in \mathbb{R}}{\int_{\mathbb{R}}{f(t)f(x-t)dt}} \geq 1.28\left(\int_{-1/4}^{1/4}{f(x)dx} \right)^2,$$ where 1.28 improves on a series of earlier results. The…

In a 2019 paper, Barnard and Steinerberger show that for $f\in L^1(\mathbf{R})$, the following autocorrelation inequality holds: \begin{equation*} \min_{0 \leq t \leq 1} \int_\mathbf{R} f(x) f(x+t)\ \mathrm{d}x \ \leq\ 0.411 ||f||_{L^1}^2,…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ denote the set of functions $f \colon [-1/2,1/2] \to \mathbb{R}$ such that $\int f = 1$. We determine the value of $\inf_{f \in \mathcal{F}} \| f \ast f \|_2$ up to a 0.0014\% error, thereby making progress on a problem…

For the functions $f$, which can be represented in the form of the convolution $f(x)=\frac{a_{0}}{2}+\frac{1}{\pi}\int\limits_{-\pi}^{\pi}\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}e^{-\alpha k^{r}}\cos(kt-\frac{\beta\pi}{2})\varphi(x-t)dt$,…

We adapt a number-theoretic technique of Yu to prove a purely analytic theorem: if f(x) is in L^1 and L^2, is nonnegative, and is supported on an interval of length I, then the supremum of the convolution f*f is at least 0.631 \| f \|_1^2 /…

Using rigorous high-precision floating point arithmetic we compute very tight rigorous bounds on the auto-convolution constant \[ \nu_2^2 = \inf_f \|f \ast f\|_2^2 = \inf_f \int_{-1}^1 (f \ast f)^2 \] where the infimum is taken over all…

In a recent work (Int Math Res Not 24:18604-18612, 2021), Carlen-Jauslin-Lieb-Loss studied the convolution inequality $f \ge f*f$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and proved that the real integrable solutions of the above inequality must be non-negative…

In this paper, the connection between the functional inequalities $$ f\Big(\frac{x+y}{2}\Big)\leq\frac{f(x)+f(y)}{2}+\alpha_J(x-y) \qquad (x,y\in D)$$ and $$ \int_0^1f\big(tx+(1-t)y\big)\rho(t)dt \leq\lambda f(x)+(1-\lambda)f(y)…

Let $f,g:\Bbb{R}^{N}\rightarrow (-\infty ,\infty ]$ be Borel measurable, bounded below and such that $\inf f+\inf g\geq 0.$ We prove that with $ m_{f,g}:=(\inf f-\inf g)/2,$ the inequality $||(f-m_{f,g})^{-1}||_{\phi…

We consider the inequality $f \geqslant f\star f$ for real integrable functions on $d$ dimensional Euclidean space where $f\star f$ denotes the convolution of $f$ with itself. We show that all such functions $f$ are non-negative, which is…

The relative log-concavity ordering $\leq_{\mathrm{lc}}$ between probability mass functions (pmf's) on non-negative integers is studied. Given three pmf's $f,g,h$ that satisfy $f\leq_{\mathrm{lc}}g\leq_{\mathrm{lc}}h$, we present a pair of…

The logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the Hamming cube {0,1}^n states that for any real-valued function f on the cube holds E(f,f) \ge 2 Ent(f^2), where E(f,f) is the appropriate Dirichlet form (also known as "sum of influences"). We show…

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…

We consider strictly increasing sequences $\left(a_{n}\right)_{n \geq 1}$ of integers and sequences of fractional parts $\left(\left\{a_{n} \alpha\right\}\right)_{n \geq 1}$ where $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$. We show that a small additive…

This paper introduces a new problem concerning additive properties of convex sets. Let $S= \{s_1 < \dots <s_n \}$ be a set of real numbers and let $D_i(S)= \{s_x-s_y: 1 \leq x-y \leq i\}$. We expect that $D_i(S)$ is large, with respect to…
