Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$ with smooth boundary $\partial M$, admitting a scalar-flat conformal metric. We prove that the supremum of the isoperimetric ratio over the scalar-flat conformal class is…

We re-confirm, for the case of the unit p-ball of R^n, one of recent conjectures of G.Kuperberg on centrally symmetric convex bodies.This conjecture was very recently confirmrd for this particular case by D.A.Gutierrez using polygamma…

Hilbert's epsilon calculus is an extension of elementary or predicate calculus by a term-forming operator $\varepsilon$ and initial formulas involving such terms. The fundamental results about the epsilon calculus are so-called epsilon…

In this paper we develop a general theoretical tool for the establishment of the boundedness of notoriously difficult operators (such as potentials) on certain specific types of rearrangement-invariant function spaces from analogous…

If $f,g:\mathbb{R}^n\longrightarrow\mathbb{R}_{\geq0}$ are non-negative measurable functions, then the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality asserts that the integral of the Asplund sum (provided that it is measurable) is greater or equal than the…

Given a function f: {0,1}^n \to {0,1}, the f-isomorphism testing problem requires a randomized algorithm to distinguish functions that are identical to f up to relabeling of the input variables from functions that are far from being so. An…

We consider the basic statistical problem of detecting truncation of the uniform distribution on the Boolean hypercube by juntas. More concretely, we give upper and lower bounds on the problem of distinguishing between i.i.d. sample access…

We give a structure theorem for Boolean functions on the $p$-biased hypercube which are $\epsilon$-close to degree $d$ in $L_2$, showing that they are close to sparse juntas. Our structure theorem implies that such functions are…

A new inequality, $(x)^{p}+(1-x)^{\frac{1}{p}}\leq1$ for $p \geq 1$ and $\frac{1}{2} \geq x \geq 0$ is found and proved. The inequality looks elegant as it integrates two number pairs ($x$ and $1-x$, $p$ and $\frac{1}{p}$) whose summation…

The possibility of stating the second law of thermodynamics in terms of the increasing behaviour of a physical property establishes a connection between that branch of physics and the theory of algebraic inequalities. We use this connection…

In Theorem 1 of the paper [V. Pata, A fixed point theorem in metric spaces, J. Fixed Point Theory Appl., 10 (2011), 299-305] it is proved that Picard's iterates for a function converge to a fixed point if a certain condition (C) is verified…

A stability version of the reverse isoperimetric inequality, and the corresponding inequality for isotropic measures are established.

We provide sharp bounds for the isoperimetric constants of infinite plane graphs (tessellations) with bounded vertex and face degrees. For example, if $G$ is a plane graph satisfying the inequalities $p_1 \leq \mbox{deg}\ v \leq p_2$ for $v…

Proper continued fractions are generalized continued fractions with positive integer numerators $a_i$ and integer denominators with $b_i\geq a_i$. In this paper we study the strength of approximation of irrational numbers to their…

Recently, Steinerberger proved a uniform inequality for the Laplacian serving as a counterpoint to the standard uniform sublevel set inequality which is known to fail for the Laplacian. In this paper, we observe that many inequalities of…

We give a new proof of an isoperimetric inequality for a family of closed surfaces, which have Gaussian curvature identically equal to one wherever the surface is smooth. These surfaces are formed from a convex, spherical polygon, with each…

Talagran's correlation inequality provides quantitative lower bounds on the covariance of two increasing Boolean functions in terms of their coordinate influences, but, in general, a logarithmic loss is necessary. Motivated by a question of…

Let $G$ be a group and let $X$ be a finite subset. The isoperimetric method investigates the objective function $|(XB)\setminus X|$, defined on the subsets $X$ with $|X|\ge k$ and $|G\setminus (XB)|\ge k$. A subset with minimal where this…

This paper presents a new interpretation of the Lyapunov and Riccati equations from the perspective of positive system theory. We show it is possible to construct positive systems related to these equations, and then certain conclusions --…

We present a new, short proof of the increased regularity obtained by solutions to uniformly parabolic partial differential equations. Though this setting is fairly introductory, our new method of proof, which uses a priori estimates, can…
