In this paper, the connection between the functional inequalities $$ f\Big(\frac{x+y}{2}\Big)\leq\frac{f(x)+f(y)}{2}+\alpha_J(x-y) \qquad (x,y\in D)$$ and $$ \int_0^1f\big(tx+(1-t)y\big)\rho(t)dt \leq\lambda f(x)+(1-\lambda)f(y)…

We study the convolution of functions of the form \[ f_\alpha (z) := \dfrac{\left( \frac{1 + z}{1 - z} \right)^\alpha - 1}{2 \alpha}, \] which map the open unit disk of the complex plane onto polygons of 2 edges when $\alpha\in(0,1)$. We…

The conic structure of the convex cone of non-negative operator convex functions on $(0,\infty)$ (also on $(-1,1)$) is clarified. We completely determine the extreme rays, the closed faces, and the simplicial closed faces of this convex…

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…

We determine completely the analytic functions $\varphi$ in the unit disk $\mathbb D$ such that for all (normalized) orientation-preserving harmonic mappings $f=h+\overline g$ produced by the shear construction with $h+g=\varphi$, the…

We study the singularity (multifractal) spectrum of continuous convex functions defined on $[0,1]^{d}$. Let $E_f({h}) $ be the set of points at which $f$ has a pointwise exponent equal to $h$. We first obtain general upper bounds for the…

Let $C$ be a compact convex subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$, $f:C\to\mathbb{R}$ be a convex function, and $m\in\{1, 2, ..., \infty\}$. Assume that, along with $f$, we are given a family of polynomials satisfying Whitney's extension condition for…

Let $f$ and $g$ be normalized Hecke-Maass cusp forms for the full modular group having spectral parameters $t_f$ and $t_g$ respectively with $t_f,t_g\asymp T\rightarrow \infty $. In this paper we show that the Rankin Selberg $L$-function…

Let $f$ and $g$ be holomorphic or Maass cusp forms for $\rm SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ and let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character of prime power conductor $q=p^n$. For any given $\varepsilon>0$, we establish the following subconvexity bound…

New proofs of the classical Hermite-Hadamard inequality are presented and several applications are given, including Hadamard-type inequalities for the functions, whose derivatives have inflection points or whose derivatives are convex.…

For any densely defined, lower semi-continuous trace \tau on a C*-algebra A with mutually commuting C*-subalgebras A_1, A_2, ... A_n, and a convex function f of n variables, we give a short proof of the fact that the function (x_1, x_2,…

We revisit and prove some convexity inequalities for trace functions conjectured in the earlier part I. The main functional considered is \Phi_{p,q}(A_1,A_2,...,A_m) = (trace((\sum_{j=1}^m A_j^p)^{q/p}))^{1/q} for m positive definite…

The main goal of this paper is to present results of existence and non-existence of convex functions on Riemannian manifolds and, in the case of the existence, we associate such functions to the geometry of the manifold. Precisely, we prove…

We discuss $(K,N)$-convexity and gradient flows for $(K,N)$-convex functionals on metric spaces, in the case of real $K$ and negative $N$. In this generality, it is necessary to consider functionals unbounded from below and/or above,…

For any integer $b\geq2$ and real series $\{c_n\}$ such that $\sum_{n=0}^\infty|c_n|<\infty$, the generalized Takagi function $f_{{\mathbf c},b}(x)$ is defined by $$ f_{{\mathbf c},b}(x):=\sum_{n=0}^\infty c_n\phi(b^n x), \quad x\in [0,1],…

Convex functions have played a major role in the field of Mathematical inequalities. In this paper, we introduce a new concept related to convexity, which proves better estimates when the function is somehow more convex than another. In…

In 1984, Clunie and Sheil-Small proved that a sense-preserving harmonic function whose analytic part is convex, is univalent and close-to-convex. In this paper, certain cases are discussed under which the conclusion of this result can be…

Motivated by a problem on comonotone approximation of $C^n$ functions by entire functions, for increasing functions $f\colon[0,1]\to[0,1]$, we characterize the possible values of $(a,b,c)$, where $a=I(f)(1)$, $b=I^2(f)(1)$, $c=I^3(f)(1)$…

In this paper, some monotonicity and concavity results of several functions involving the psi and polygamma functions are proved, and then some known inequalities are extended and generalized.
