Systems of fuzzy relation equations and inequalities in which an unknown fuzzy relation is on the one side of the equation or inequality are linear systems. They are the most studied ones, and a vast literature on linear systems focuses on…

Fuzzy systems have achieved great success in numerous applications. However, there are still many challenges in designing an optimal fuzzy system, e.g., how to efficiently optimize its parameters, how to balance the trade-off between…
Hoeffding's inequality is a fundamental tool widely applied in probability theory, statistics, and machine learning. In this paper, we establish Hoeffding's inequalities specifically tailored for an irreducible and positive recurrent…
We study time-inhomogeneous Markov chains with finite state spaces using Nash and logarithmic-Sobolev inequalities, and the notion of $c$-stability. We develop the basic theory of such functional inequalities in the time-inhomogeneous…
A key problem in the application of first-order probabilistic methods is the enormous size of graphical models they imply. The size results from the possible worlds that can be generated by a domain of objects and relations. One of the…
We prove fractional Sobolev-Poincar\'e inequalities, capacitary versions of fractional Poincar\'e inequalities, and pointwise and localized fractional Hardy inequalities in a metric space equipped with a doubling measure. Our results…
We present a probabilistic interpretation of several functional isoperimetric inequalities within the class of $p$-concave functions, building on random models for such functions introduced by P. Pivovarov and J. Rebollo-Bueno. First, we…

In this paper, we establish novel concentration inequalities for additive functionals of geometrically ergodic Markov chains similar to Rosenthal inequalities for sums of independent random variables. We pay special attention to the…
Fuzzy logic is a way to argue with boolean predicates for which we only have a confidence value between 0 and 1 rather than a well defined truth value. It is tempting to interpret such a confidence as a probability. We use Markov kernels,…
This paper is a follow up to an article by two of the authors dedicated to the study of Poincar\'e and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for measures of the form $d\mu = e^{-U} d\nu$ where $e^{-U}$ is seen as a perturbation of $d\nu$.…
We implement the Unified Transform Method of Fokas as a numerical method to solve linear partial differential equations on the half-line. The method computes the solution at any x and t without spatial discretization or time stepping. With…
In this paper, we study a class of stochastic Generalized Linear Switched System (GLSS), which includes subclasses of jump-Markov, piecewide-linear and Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems. We prove that the output of such systems can be…
We prove that in the context of general Markov semigroups Beckner inequalities with constants separated from zero as $p\to 1^+$ are equivalent to the modified log Sobolev inequality (previously only one implication was known to hold in this…

This is a continuation of our previous work 0712.4092. It is well known that various isoperimetric inequalities imply their functional ``counterparts'', but in general this is not an equivalence. We show that under certain convexity…
