In this paper we characterize generalized quasi-arithmetic means, that is means of the form $M(x_1,...,x_n):=(f_1+...+f_n)^{-1}(f_1(x_1)+...+f_n(x_n))$, where $f_1,...,f_n:I\to\mathbb{R}$ are strictly increasing and continuous functions.…

Let $\mu$ be a self-similar measure generated by an IFS $\Phi=\{\phi_i\}_{i=1}^\ell$ of similarities on $\mathbb R^d$ ($d\ge 1$). When $\Phi$ is dimensional regular (see Definition~1.1), we give an explicit formula for the $L^q$-spectrum…

\begin{abstract} In this paper we state the following weighted Hardy type inequality for any functions $\varphi$ in a weighted Sobolev space and for weight functions $\mu$ of a quite general type \begin{equation*} c_{N,\mu}…

We extend some approach to a family of symmetric means (i.e. symmetric functions $\mathscr{M} \colon \bigcup_{n=1}^\infty I^n \to I$ with $\min\le \mathscr{M}\le \max$; $I$ is an interval). Namely, it is known that every symmetric mean can…

We study estimation and prediction of Gaussian processes with covariance model belonging to the generalized Cauchy (GC) family, under fixed domain asymptotics. Gaussian processes with this kind of covariance function provide separate…

In this paper, we propose two new tests for testing the equality of the covariance functions of several functional populations, namely a quasi GPF test and a quasi $F_{\max}$ test. The asymptotic random expressions of the two tests under…

Let $\Delta_x f(x,y)=f(x+1,y)-f(x,y)$ and $\Delta_y f(x,y)=f(x,y+1)-f(x,y)$ be the difference operators with respect to $x$ and $y$. A rational function $f(x,y)$ is called summable if there exist rational functions $g(x,y)$ and $h(x,y)$…

Given a pair of random variables $(X,Y)\sim P_{XY}$ and two convex functions $f_1$ and $f_2$, we introduce two bottleneck functionals as the lower and upper boundaries of the two-dimensional convex set that consists of the pairs…

We investigate the representation of homogeneous, symmetric means in the form M(x,y)=\frac{x-y}{2f((x-y)/(x+y))}. This allows for a new approach to comparing means. As an example, we provide optimal estimate of the form (1-\mu)min(x,y)+ \mu…

We present a categorical viewpoint of probability measures by showing that a probability measure can be viewed as a weakly averaging affine measurable functional taking values in the unit interval which preserves limits. The probability…

The purpose of this paper is to establish several necessary and sufficient conditions to ensure the validity of a general functional inequality in terms of generalized quasi-arithmetic means. In particular cases, we consider H\"older-,…

In this paper, we investigate the behavior of a bivariate mean $M$ near the first bisector by establishing, in several significant cases, an important expansion of $M$ derived from the Taylor expansion of a single-variable function. These…

Let $\mu$ be a self-affine measure on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ associated to a self-affine IFS $\{\varphi_{\lambda}(x) = A_{\lambda}x + v_{\lambda}\}_{\lambda\in\Lambda}$ and a probability vector $p=(p_{\lambda})_{\lambda}>0$. Assume the strong…

Let $P_{\alpha} f(x,t)$ be the Caffarelli-Silvestre extension of a smooth function $f(x): \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n+1}_+:=\mathbb{R}^n\times (0,\infty).$ The purpose of this article is twofold. Firstly, we want to characterize…

We introduce a two-parameter family of discrepancy measures, termed \emph{$(G,f)$-divergences}, obtained by applying a non-decreasing function $G$ to an $f$-divergence $D_f$. Building on Csisz\'ar's formulation of mutual $f$-information, we…

In this paper we investigate the following questions. Let $\mu, \nu$ be two regular Borel measures of finite total variation. When do we have a constant $C$ satisfying $$\int f d\nu \le C \int f d\mu$$ whenever $f$ is a continuous…

The multifractal spectrum of a Borel measure $\mu$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is defined as \[ f_\mu(\alpha) = \dim_H {x:\lim_{r\to 0} \frac{\log \mu(B(x,r))}{\log r}=\alpha}. \] For self-similar measures under the open set condition the behavior of…

For any continuous probability measure $\mu$ on ${\mathbb R}$ we construct an IFS with probabilities having $\mu$ as its unique measure-attractor.

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a directed graph with vertices $1,2,\ldots, 2N$. Let $\mathcal{T}=(T_{i,j})_{(i,j)\in\mathcal{G}}$ be a family of contractive similitudes. For every $1\leq i\leq N$, let $i^+:=i+N$. For $1\leq i,j\leq N$, we define…

The purpose of this paper is to extend the definition of quasiarithmetic means by taking a strictly monotone generating function instead of a strictly monotone and continuous one. We establish the properties of such means and compare them…
