We succeeded to isolate a special class of concave Young-functions enjoying the so-called \emph{density-level property}. In this class there is a proper subset whose members have each the so-called degree of contraction denoted by…

Submodular Functions are a special class of set functions, which generalize several information-theoretic quantities such as entropy and mutual information [1]. Submodular functions have subgradients and subdifferentials [2] and admit…

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))…

This note deals with certain properties of convex functions. We provide results on the convexity of the set of minima of these functions, the behaviour of their subgradient set under restriction, and optimization of these functions over an…

On the sets of $2\pi$-periodic functions $f$, which are defined with a help of $(\psi, \beta)$-integrals of the functions $\varphi$ from $L_{1}$, we establish Lebesgue-type inequalities, in which the uniform norms of deviations of Fourier…

We introduce a class of generalized relative entropies (inspired by the Bregman divergence in information theory) on the Wasserstein space over a weighted Riemannian or Finsler manifold. We prove that the convexity of all the entropies in…

In this article we recover the distribution function (and possible density) of an arbitrary random variable that is subject to an additive measurement error. This problem is also known as deconvolution and has a long tradition in…

We show that the uniform distribution minimizes entropy among all one-dimensional symmetric log-concave distributions with fixed variance, as well as various generalizations of this fact to R\'enyi entropies of orders less than 1 and with…

We find sufficient conditions for log-convexity and log-concavity for the functions of the forms $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}(a)_kx^k$, $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}\Gamma(a+k)x^k$ and $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}x^k/(a)_k$. The most useful examples of such functions are…

In discrete convex analysis, the scaling and proximity properties for the class of L$^\natural$-convex functions were established more than a decade ago and have been used to design efficient minimization algorithms. For the larger class of…
