We prove a sharp upper bound on negative moments of sums of independent Steinhaus random variables (that is uniform on circles in the plane). Together with the series of earlier works: K\"onig-Kwapie\'n (2001), Baernstein II-Culverhouse…

An important tool for statistical research are moment inequalities for sums of independent random vectors. Nemirovski and coworkers (1983, 2000) derived one particular type of such inequalities: For certain Banach spaces $(\B,\|\cdot\|)$…

Concentration inequalities, a major tool in probability theory, quantify how much a random variable deviates from a certain quantity. This paper proposes a systematic convex optimization approach to studying and generating concentration…

We modify the classical Bernstein's inequality for the sums of independent centered random variables (r.v.) in the terms of relative tails or moments. We built also some examples in order to show the exactness of offered results.

We prove a quantitative form of the celebrated Ball's theorem on cube slicing in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and obtain, as a consequence, equality cases in the min-entropy power inequality. Independently, we also give a quantitative form of…
