The symmetric decreasing rearrangement of functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ features in several seminal inequalities, such as the P\'olya-Szeg\H{o} inequality. The latter was shown by the authors to hold for all smoothing rearrangements, a class…
We give an explicit sequence of polarizations such that for every measurable function, the sequence of iterated polarizations converge to the symmetric rearrangement of the initial function.
We define a multidimensional rearrangement, which is related to classical inequalities for functions that are monotone in each variable. We prove the main measure theoretical results of the new theory and characterize the functional…
For a general set transformation ${\cal R}$ between two measure spaces, we define the rearrangement of a measurable function by means of the Layer's cake formula. We study some functional properties of the Lorentz spaces defined in terms of…
We define a new rearrangement, called rearrangement by tamping, for non-negative measurable functions defined on R+. This rearrangement has many properties in common with the well-known Schwarz non-increasing rearrangement such as the…
Suppose that a target function is monotonic, namely, weakly increasing, and an original estimate of the target function is available, which is not weakly increasing. Many common estimation methods used in statistics produce such estimates.…
We develop a scaling theory and a renormalization technique in the context of the modern theory of polarization. The central idea is to use the characteristic function (also known as the polarization amplitude) in place of the free energy…
The monotone rearrangement of a function is the non-decreasing function with the same distribution. The convex rearrangement of a smooth function is obtained by integrating the monotone rearrangement of its derivative. This operator can be…
We propose a formal resource-theoretic approach to quantify the degree of polarization of two and three-dimensional random electromagnetic fields. This endows the space of spectral polarization matrices with the orders induced by…
We discuss a one-parameter family of transformations which changes sets and functions continuously into their (k,n)-Steiner symmetrizations. Our construction consists of two stages. First, we employ a continuous symmetrization introduced by…
The identification between the complex plane and the Riemann sphere preserves holomorphic and harmonic functions and is a classical tool. In this paper we consider a similar mapping from an unbounded metric space $X$ to a bounded space and…
Majorisation, also called rearrangement inequalities, yields a type of stochastic ordering in which two or more distributions can be compared. In this paper we argue that majorisation is a good candidate as a theory for uncertainty. We…
We investigate some properties of balayage, or, sweeping (out), of measures with respect to subclasses of subharmonic functions. The following issues are considered: relationships between balayage of measures with respect to classes of…
We provide a complete characterization of compactness of Sobolev embeddings of radially symmetric functions on the entire space $\mathbb{R}^n$ in the general framework of rearrangement-invariant function spaces. We avoid any unnecessary…
We shall prove a rearrangement inequality in probability measure spaces in order to obtain sharp Leibniz-type rules of mean oscillations in Lp-spaces and rearrangement invariant Banach function spaces.
We propose new measures of localization and cooperativity for the analysis of atomic rearrangements. We show that for both clusters and bulk material cooperative rearrangements usually have significantly lower barriers than uncooperative…
Rearrangement-invariance in function spaces can be viewed as a kind of generalization of 1-symmetry for Schauder bases. We define subrearrangement-invariance in function spaces as an analogous generalization of 1-subsymmetry. It is then…
Complete determination of the polarisation state of light requires at least four distinct projective measurements of the associated Stokes vector. Stability of state reconstruction, however, hinges on the condition number $\kappa$ of the…
The paper deals with dynamics of expanding Lorenz maps, which appear in a natural way as Poincar\`e maps in geometric models of well-known Lorenz attractor. Using both analytical and symbolic approaches, we study connections between…
We derive conditions under which random sequences of polarizations (two-point symmetrizations) converge almost surely to the symmetric decreasing rearrangement. The parameters for the polarizations are independent random variables whose…
