We axiomatically define a cardinal social inefficiency function, which, given a set of alternatives and individuals' vNM preferences over the alternatives, assigns a unique number -- the social inefficiency -- to each alternative. These…

We establish an inequality which involves a non-negative function defined on the vertices of a finite $m$-ary regular rooted tree. The inequality may be thought of as relating an interaction energy defined on the free vertices of the tree…

An inequality, recently proposed by Franson [Phys. Rev. A 54, 3808 (1996)] is analyzed and improved. The inequality connects the change of the expectation value of an observable with the uncertainty of this observable. A strict bound on the…

The main goal of this article is to find the exact difference between a convex function and its secant, as a limit of positive quantities. This idea will be expressed as a convex inequality that leads to refinements and reversals of well…

In this short note we derive, for bounded domains, an upper bound for a Friedrichs type constant in a weighted Friedrichs type inequality. This upper bound generalizes a well known upper bound of the Friedrichs constant. This upper bound is…

For immersed curves in Euclidean space of any codimension we establish a Li--Yau type inequality that gives a lower bound of the (normalized) bending energy in terms of multiplicity. The obtained inequality is optimal for any codimension…

Inspired by the work of Cordero-Erausquin, McCann and Schmuckenschl\"ager [{\it Invent. Math.,} 2001], we derive an explicit expression for the Jacobian determinant of the normal exponential map on a submanifold, establishing a relationship…

This note concerns an extension of the good-$\lambda$ inequality for fractional integrals, due to B. Muckenhoupt and R. Wheeden. The classical result is refined in two aspects. Firstly, general nonlinear potentials are considered; and…

Motivated by inequalities in Fourier analysis, we present an improvement on the lower bound for the sign uncertainty principle of Bourgain, Clozel and Kahane in high dimensions. Additionally, our methods can be used to match the existing…

We identify the compactness threshold for optimizing sequences of the Airy-- Strichartz inequality as an explicit multiple of the sharp constant in the Strichartz inequality. In particular, if the sharp constant in the Airy--Strichartz…

We investigate numerically the optimal constants in Lieb-Thirring inequalities by studying the associated maximization problem. We use a monotonic fixed-point algorithm and a finite element discretization to obtain trial potentials which…

An inequality refining the lower bound for a periodic (Breitenberger) uncertainty constant is proved for a wide class of functions. A connection of uncertainty constants for periodic and non-periodic functions is extended to this class. A…

Matrix perturbation inequalities, such as Weyl's theorem (concerning the singular values) and the Davis-Kahan theorem (concerning the singular vectors), play essential roles in quantitative science; in particular, these bounds have found…

Our aim is to provide a short and self contained synthesis which generalise and unify various related and unrelated works involving what we call Phi-Sobolev functional inequalities. Such inequalities related to Phi-entropies can be seen in…

This paper derives exponential tail bounds and polynomial moment inequalities for the spectral norm deviation of a random matrix from its mean value. The argument depends on a matrix extension of Stein's method of exchangeable pairs for…

Estimating parameters from samples of an optimal probability distribution is essential in applications ranging from socio-economic modeling to biological system analysis. In these settings, the probability distribution arises as the…

This work studies the Fourier transform of the characteristic function of planar convex bodies averaged over affine transformations. We establish lower and upper bounds on the latter quantities in terms of the geometric properties of the…

The hypercontractive inequality is a fundamental result in analysis, with many applications throughout discrete mathematics, theoretical computer science, combinatorics and more. So far, variants of this inequality have been proved mainly…

TheL2-gain characterizes a dynamical system's input-output properties, but can be difficult to determine for nonlinear systems. Previous work designed a nonconvex optimization problem to simultaneously search for a continuous piecewise…
