We establish new functional versions of the Blaschke-Santal\'o inequality on the volume product of a convex body which generalize to the non-symmetric setting an inequality of K. Ball and we give a simple proof of the case of equality. As a…
Motivated by the barycenter problem in optimal transportation theory, Kolesnikov--Werner recently extended the notion of the Legendre duality relation for two functions to the case for multiple functions. We further generalize the duality…
We discuss a topological structure on families of convex functions and then apply it to show the existence of extrimizers for the functional Santal\'{o} inequality with respect to polar transform and its reverse.
We study a special class of non-convex functions which appear in nonlinear elasticity; and we prove that they have well-defined Legandre transforms. Several examples are given, and an application to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem
Nakamura and Tsuji (2024) recently investigated a many-function generalization of the functional Blaschke--Santal\'o inequality, which they refer to as a generalized Legendre duality relation. They showed that, among the class of all even…
We study Blaschke--Santal{\'o}-type inequalities for $N \ge 2$ sets (functions) and a special class of cost functions. In particular, we prove new results about reduction of the maximization problem for the Blaschke--Santal{\'o}-type…
The notion of the H\"older convolution is introduced. The main result is that, under general conditions on functions L_1, ..., L_n, the function inverse to the Legendre--Fenchel transform of the H\"older convolution of L_1, ..., L_n…
We first prove that the Legendre transform is the only continuous and $\mathrm{SL}(n)$ contravariant valuation that behaves as a conjugation of two important translations on super-coercive, lower semi-continuous, and convex functions. Then…
In recent papers it has been noted that the local potential approximation of the Legendre and Wilson-Polchinski flow equations give, within numerical error, identical results for a range of exponents and Wilson-Fisher fixed points in three…
We prove that the functional volume product for even functions is monotone increasing along the Fokker--Planck heat flow. This in particular yields a new proof of the functional Blaschke--Santal\'{o} inequality by K. Ball and also…
We explore an interplay between an analysis of diffusion flows such as Ornstein--Uhlenbeck flow and Fokker--Planck flow and inequalities from convex geometry regarding the volume product. More precisely, we introduce new types of…
This article develops a duality principle for non-linear elasticity. The results are obtained through standard tools of convex analysis and the Legendre transform concept. We emphasize the dual variational formulation is concave. Moreover,…
In this paper, using functional Steiner symmetrizations, we show that Meyer and Pajor's proof of the Blaschke-Santalo inequality can be extended to the functional setting.
In this paper, we study some qualitative properties for an evolution problem that combines local and nonlocal diffusion operators acting in two different subdomains and, coupled in such a way that, the resulting evolution problem is the…
This paper is devoted to a deeper understanding of the heat flow and to the refinement of calculus tools on metric measure spaces (X,d,m). Our main results are: - A general study of the relations between the Hopf-Lax semigroup and…
We develop a differential theory for the polarity transform parallel to that for the Legendre transform, which is applicable when the functions studied are "geometric convex", namely convex, non-negative and vanish at the origin. This…
$L^p$-polarity and $L^p$-Mahler volumes were recently introduced by Berndtsson, Rubinstein, and the author as a new approach, inspired by complex geometry, to the Mahler, Bourgain, and Blocki conjectures. This paper serves two purposes.…
Optimality principles in nonequilibrium transport networks are linked to a thermodynamic formalism based on generalized transport potentials endowed with Legendre duality and related contact structure. This allows quantifying the distance…
In this paper, we study new extensions of the functional Blaschke-Santalo inequalities, and explore applications of such new inequalities beyond the classical setting of the standard Gaussian measure.
Relativistic heat transport in electron-two-temperature plasmas with density gradients has been investigated. The Legendre expansion analysis of relativistically modified kinetic equations shows that strong inhibition of heat flux appears…
