We consider the sum of squared logarithms inequality and investigate possible connections with the theory of majorization. We also discuss alternative sufficient conditions on two sets of vectors $a,b\in\mathbb{R}_+^n$ so that…
In this short paper, we give a complete and affirmative answer to a conjecture on matrix trace inequalities for the sum of positive semidefinite matrices. We also apply the obtained inequality to derive a kind of generalized Golden-Thompson…
Several matrix/operator inequalies are given. Most of them are unexpected extensions of the Araki Log-majorization theorem, obtained thanks to a new log-majorization for positive linear maps and normal operators (Theorem 2.9). The main idea…
This note contributes to the understanding of generalized entropy power inequalities. Our main goal is to construct a counter-example regarding monotonicity and entropy comparison of weighted sums of independent identically distributed…
A considerable amount of literature in the theory of inequality is devoted to the study of Jensen's and Young's inequality. This article presents a number of new inequalities involving the log-convex functions and the geometrically convex…
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…
Some of the important inequalities associated with quantum entropy are immediate algebraic consequences of the Hansen-Pedersen-Jensen inequality. A general argument is given using matrix perspectives of operator convex functions. A matrix…
The purpose of this paper is two-fold: we present some matrix inequalities of log-majorization type for eigenvalues indexed by a sequence; we then apply our main theorem to generalize and improve the Hua-Marcus' inequalities. Our results…
We study the relations between (tight) logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, entropy decay and spectral gap inequalities for Markov evolutions on von Neumann algebras. We prove that log-Sobolev inequalities (in the non-commutative form defined…
Some of the important inequalities associated with quantum entropy are immediate algebraic consequences of the Hansen-Pedersen-Jensen inequality. A general argument is given in terms of the matrix perspective of an operator convex function.…
A set of functional inequalities - called Nash inequalities - are introduced and analyzed in the context of quantum Markov process mixing. The basic theory of Nash inequalities is extended to the setting of non-commutative Lp spaces, where…
Euler's gamma function is logarithmically convex on positive semi-axis. Additivity of logarithmic convexity implies that the function sum of gammas with non-negative coefficients is also log-convex. In this paper we investigate the series…
This paper derives an inequality relating the p-norm of a positive 2 x 2 block matrix to the p-norm of the 2 x 2 matrix obtained by replacing each block by its p-norm. The inequality had been known for integer values of p, so the main…
Certain trace inequalities related to matrix logarithm are shown. These results enable us to give a partial answer of the open problem conjectured by A.S.Holevo. That is, concavity of the auxiliary function which appears in the random…
We examine the convergence properties of sequences of nonnegative real numbers that satisfy a particular class of recursive inequalities, from the perspective of proof theory and computability theory. We first establish a number of results…
We present an inequality for tensor product of positive operators on Hilbert spaces by considering the tensor product of operators as words on certain alphabets (i.e., a set of letters). As applications of the operator inequality and by a…
We extend Hardy's inequality from sequences of non-negative numbers to sequences of positive semi-definite operators if the parameter p satisfies 1<p<=2, and to operators under a trace for arbitrary p>1. Applications to trace functions are…
With techniques borrowed from quantum information theory, we develop a method to systematically obtain operator inequalities and identities in several matrix variables. These take the form of trace polynomials: polynomial-like expressions…
A new notion of partition-determined functions is introduced, and several basic inequalities are developed for the entropy of such functions of independent random variables, as well as for cardinalities of compound sets obtained using these…
Formalising the confrontation of opinions (models) to observations (data) is the task of Inferential Statistics. Information Theory provides us with a basic functional, the relative entropy (or Kullback-Leibler divergence), an asymmetrical…
