For a fixed singular Borel probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{T}$, we give several characterizations of when an entire function is the Fourier transform of some $f \in L^2(\mu)$. The first characterization is given in terms of criteria…

The main result of the present paper is about the solutions of the functional equation \Eq{*}{ F\Big(\frac{x+y}2\Big)+f_1(x)+f_2(y)=G(g_1(x)+g_2(y)),\qquad x,y\in I, } derived originally, in a natural way, from the invariance problem of…

Let R+ = (0,infinity) and let M be the family of all mean values of two numbers in R+ (some examples are the arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means). Given m1, m2 in M, we say that a function f : R+ to R+ is (m1,m2)-convex if f(m1(x,y))…

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…

We find sufficient conditions for a probability measure $\mu$ to satisfy an inequality of the type $$ \int_{\R^d} f^2 F\Bigl(\frac{f^2}{\int_{\R^d} f^2 d \mu} \Bigr) d \mu \le C \int_{\R^d} f^2 c^{*}\Bigl(\frac{|\nabla f|}{|f|} \Bigr) d \mu…

This paper deals with functional equations in the form of $f(x) + g(y) = h(x,y)$ where $h$ is given and $f$ and $g$ are unknown. We will show that if $h$ is a Borel measurable function associated with characterizations of the uniform or…

Let $(\mathbf X, \mathbf Y)$ denote $n$ independent, identically distributed copies of two arbitrarily correlated Rademacher random variables $(X, Y)$. We prove that the inequality $I(f(\mathbf X); g(\mathbf Y)) \le I(X; Y)$ holds for any…

In this paper we describe the solutions of the functional equation \begin{equation*} F\Big(\frac{x+y}2\Big)+f_1(x)+f_2(y)=G \big(g_1(x)+g_2(y)) \end{equation*} defined on an open subinterval of $ \mathbb{R} $. Improving previous results we…

Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be two probability measures on $\R^d$, where $\mu(\d x)= \e^{-V(x)}\d x$ for some $V\in C^1(\R^d)$. Explicit sufficient conditions on $V$ and $\nu$ are presented such that $\mu*\nu$ satisfies the log-Sobolev, Poincar\'e…

Let $V\in C^2(\R^d)$ such that $\mu_V(\d x):= \e^{-V(x)}\,\d x$ is a probability measure, and let $\aa\in (0,2)$. Explicit criteria are presented for the $\aa$-stable-like Dirichlet form $$\E_{\aa,V}(f,f):= \int_{\R^d\times\R^d}…

This paper introduces Fourier duality for a class of affine iterated function systems (IFS) T_i. These systems are determined by a finite family of contractive affine maps in R^d. Our Fourier duality applies to the resulting probability…

Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space, and let an iterated function system (IFS) be given on $X$, i.e., a finite set of continuous maps $\sigma_{i}$: $ X\to X$, $i=0,1,..., N-1$. The maps $\sigma_{i}$ transform the measures $\mu $ on $X$…

We prove that whenever $M_1,\dots,M_n\colon I^k \to I$, ($n,k \in \mathbb{N}$) are symmetric, continuous means on the interval $I$ and $S_1,\dots,S_m\colon I^k \to I$ ($m <n$) satisfies a sort of embeddability assumptions then for every…

On the set $\mathcal M$ of mean functions the symmetric mean of $M$ with respect to mean $M_0$ can be defined in several ways. The first one is related to the group structure on $\mathcal M$ and the second one is defined trough Gauss'…

Let $(X,{\mathcal A},\mu)$ be a probability space and let $S\colon X\to X$ be a measurable transformation. Motivated by the paper of K. Nikodem [Czechoslovak Math. J. 41(116) (4) (1991) 565--569], we concentrate on a functional equation…

In this paper, we consider the characterization of norm--parallelism problem in some classical Banach spaces. In particular, for two continuous functions $f, g$ on a compact Hausdorff space $K$, we show that $f$ is norm--parallel to $g$ if…

We characterize probability measure with finite moment of any order in terms of the symmetric difference operators of their Fourier transforms. By using our new characterization, we prove the continuity $f(t,v)\in C((0, \infty),L^1_{2k-2…

We discuss when two rational functions $f$ and $g$ can have the same measure of maximal entropy. The polynomial case was completed by (Beardon, Levin, Baker-Eremenko,Schmidt-Steinmetz, etc., 1980s-90s), and we address the rational case…
