We prove new entropy inequalities for log concave and s-concave functions that strengthen and generalize recently established reverse log Sobolev and Poincare inequalities for such functions. This leads naturally to the concept of…
Some improvements of Young inequality and its reverse for positive numbers with Kontrovich constant are given. Using these inequalities some operator versions and Hilbert-Schmidt norm versions for matrices are proved.
Entropy and information provide natural measures of correlation among elements in a network. We construct here the information theoretic analog of connected correlation functions: irreducible $N$--point correlation is measured by a decrease…
In this paper our aim is to show some mean value inequalities for the modified Bessel functions of the first and second kinds. Our proofs are based on some bounds for the logarithmic derivatives of these functions, which are in fact…
An inequality for the variance of an additive function defined on random decomposable structures, called assemblies, is established. The result generalizes estimates obtained earlier in the cases of permutations and mappings of a finite set…
We characterize information as risk reduction between knowledge states represented by partitions of the underlying probability space. Entropy corresponds to risk reduction from no (or partial) knowledge to full knowledge about a random…
These are classified by the direction of approximation (from above or below), the set family types (partition or covering) of simple functions, the coefficient signature (non-negative or signed), and cardinal number of terms of simple…
We define an equivalence relation on integer compositions and show that two ribbon Schur functions are identical if and only if their defining compositions are equivalent in this sense. This equivalence is completely determined by means of…
We study constrained versions of the Ingleton inequality in the entropic setting and quantify its stability under small violations of conditional independence. Although the classical Ingleton inequality fails for general entropy profiles,…
We prove an inequality for the entropy numbers in terms of nonlinear Kolmogorov's widths. This inequality is in a spirit of known inequalities of this type and it is adjusted to the form convenient in applications for $m$-term…
This work is an extension of our earlier article, where a well-known integral representation of the logarithmic function was explored, and was accompanied with demonstrations of its usefulness in obtaining compact, easily-calculable, exact…
In this article, we prove that convex functions and log-convex functions obey certain general refinements that lead to several refinements and reverses of well known inequalities for matrices, including Young's inequality, Heinz inequality,…
This paper presents some theoretical results relating the Bregman log determinant matrix divergence to Kaporin's condition number. These can be viewed as nearness measures between a preconditioner and a given matrix, and we show under which…
We consider here a class of groupoids obtained via an equivalence relation (the subgroupoids of pair groupoids). We generalize to Haar Systems in these groupoids some results related to entropy and pressure which are well known in…
Motivated by some recently established operator Jensen-type inequalities related to a usual convexity, in the present paper we derive several more accurate operator Jensen-type inequalities for certain subclasses of convex functions. More…
In this paper, a general integral identity for convex functions is derived. Then, we establish new some inequalities of the Simpson and the Hermite-Hadamard's type for functions whose absolute values of derivatives are convex. Some…
Transfer entropy, an information-theoretic measure of time-directed information transfer between joint processes, has steadily gained popularity in the analysis of complex stochastic dynamics in diverse fields, including the neurosciences,…
Using a sharp version of the reverse Young inequality, and a R\'enyi entropy comparison result due to Fradelizi, Madiman, and Wang, the authors are able to derive R\'enyi entropy power inequalities for log-concave random vectors when…
By proving an $L^2$-gradient estimate for the corresponding Galerkin approximations, the log-Harnack inequality is established for the semigroup associated to a class of stochastic Burgers equations. As applications, we derive the strong…
We explore the asymptotic convergence and nonasymptotic maximal inequalities of supermartingales and backward submartingales in the space of positive semidefinite matrices. These are natural matrix analogs of scalar nonnegative…
