Several inequalities for eigenvalues involving convex combinations and compressions are given. These inequalities are matrix version of the basic convexity inequality f((a+b)/2) < (f(a)+f(b))/2.

Let $f,g:\Bbb{R}^{N}\rightarrow (-\infty ,\infty ]$ be Borel measurable, bounded below and such that $\inf f+\inf g\geq 0.$ We prove that with $ m_{f,g}:=(\inf f-\inf g)/2,$ the inequality $||(f-m_{f,g})^{-1}||_{\phi…

Employing the notion of operator log-convexity, we study joint concavity$/$ convexity of multivariable operator functions: $(A,B)\mapsto F(A,B)=h\left[ \Phi(f(A))\ \sigma\ \Psi(g(B))\right]$, where $\Phi$ and $\Psi$ are positive linear maps…

Yuan and Leng (2007) gave a generalization of Ky Fan's determinantal inequality, which is a celebrated refinement of the fundamental Brunn-Minkowski inequality $(\det (A+B))^{1/n} \ge (\det A)^{1/n} +(\det B)^{1/n}$, where $A$ and $B$ are…

Using the properties of geometric mean, we shall show for any $0\le \alpha ,\beta \le 1$, \[f\left( A{{\nabla }_{\alpha }}B \right)\le f\left( \left( A{{\nabla }_{\alpha }}B \right){{\nabla }_{\beta }}A \right){{\sharp}_{\alpha }}f\left(…

We show that there are functions $f$ in the H\"older class $C^{ { \alpha }}[0,1]$, $1< { \alpha }<2$ such that $f|_{A}$ is not convex, nor concave for any $A { \subset } [0,1]$ with $ { \bar { dim }_M } A> { \alpha }-1$. Our earlier result…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex domain and let $f:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a positive, subharmonic function (i.e. $\Delta f \geq 0$). Then $$ \frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int_{\Omega}{f dx} \leq \frac{c_n}{ |\partial \Omega| }…

The Brunn-Minkowski Theorem asserts that $\mu_d(A+B)^{1/d}\geq \mu_d(A)^{1/d}+\mu_d(B)^{1/d}$ for convex bodies $A,\,B\subseteq \R^d$, where $\mu_d$ denotes the $d$-dimensional Lebesgue measure. It is well-known that equality holds if and…

We prove some refinements of a reverse AM-GM operator inequality due to M. Lin [Studia Math. 2013;215:187-194]. In particular, we show the operator inequality \begin{eqnarray*} \Phi^p\left(A\nabla_\nu B+2rMm(A^{-1}\nabla B^{-1}-A^{-1}\sharp…
