Given a closed, orientable surface of constant negative curvature and genus $g \ge 2$, we study the topological entropy and measure-theoretic entropy (with respect to a smooth invariant measure) of generalized Bowen--Series boundary maps.…
In this paper, we define the core entropy for postcritically-finite Newton maps and study its continuity within this family. We show that the entropy function is not continuous in this family, which is different from the polynomial case…
This note contains some observations on primary matrix functions and different notions of monotonicity with relevance towards constitutive relations in nonlinear elasticity. Focussing on primary matrix functions on the set of symmetric…
The notions of fair measure and fair entropy were introduced by Misiurewicz and Rodrigues recently, and discussed in detail for piecewise monotone interval maps. In particular, they showed that the fair entropy $h(a)$ of the tent map $f_a$,…
We explore an asymptotic behavior of R\'enyi entropy along convolutions in the central limit theorem with respect to the increasing number of i.i.d. summands. In particular, the problem of monotonicity is addressed under suitable moment…
We give a global version of Le-Ramanujam mu-constant theorem for polynomials. Let f_t, (t in [0,1]), be a family of polynomials of n complex variables with isolated singularities, whose coefficients are polynomials in t. We consider the…
We prove general theorems for isoperimetric problems on lattices of the form ${\mathbb{Z}}^{k} \times {\mathbb{N}}^{d}$ which state that the perimeter of the optimal set is a monotonically increasing function of the volume under certain…
We apply renormalized entropy as a complexity measure to the logistic and sine-circle maps. In the case of logistic map, renormalized entropy decreases (increases) until the accumulation point (after the accumulation point up to the most…
Recently Kosaki proved an inequality for matrices that can be seen as a kind of new uncertainty principle. Independently, the same result was proved by Yanagi, Furuichi and Kuriyama. The new bound is given in terms of Wigner-Yanase-Dyson…
A marginal problem asks whether a given family of marginal distributions for some set of random variables arises from some joint distribution of these variables. Here we point out that the existence of such a joint distribution imposes…
In 1993 one of the authors formulated some conjectures on monotonicity of ratios for exponential series sections. They lead to more general conjecture on monotonicity of ratios of Kummer hypergeometric functions and was not proved from…
We investigate the monotonicity method for fractional semilinear elliptic equations with power type nonlinearities. We prove that if-and-only-if monotonicity relations between coefficients and the derivative of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map…
The topological entropy $h_{\rm top}$ of a continuous piecewise monotone interval map measures the exponential growth in the number of monotonicity intervals for iterates of the map. Milnor and Thurston showed that $\exp(-h_{\rm top})$ is…
We study here the elementary properties of the relative entropy $\cH(A,B)=\tr[\phi(A)-\phi(B)-\phi'(B)(A-B)]$ for $\phi$ a convex function and $A,B$ bounded self-adjoint operators. In particular, we prove that this relative entropy is…
We provide deficit estimates for Nelson's hypercontractivity inequality, the logarithmic Sobolev inequality, and Talagrand's transportation cost inequality under the restriction that the inputs are semi-log-subharmonic, semi-log-convex, or…
We prove sharp stability estimates for the Truncated Laplace Transform and Truncated Fourier Transform. The argument combines an approach recently introduced by Alaifari, Pierce and the second author for the truncated Hilbert transform with…
We prove under general assumptions that solutions of the thin obstacle or Signorini problem in any space dimension achieve the optimal regularity $C^{1,1/2}$. This improves the known optimal regularity results by allowing the thin obstacle…
We establish a discrete analog of the R\'enyi entropy comparison due to Bobkov and Madiman. For log-concave variables on the integers, the min entropy is within log e of the usual Shannon entropy. Additionally we investigate the entropic…
This paper is concerned with the monotonicity of the period function for closed orbits of systems of the Li\'enard II type equation given by $\ddot{x} + f(x)\dot{x}^{2} + g(x) = 0$. We generalize Chicone's result regarding the monotonicity…
We study the rate of growth of ratios of intervals delimited by the post-critical orbit of a map in the quasi-quadratic family $x\mapsto -|x|^\alpha +a.$ The critical order $\alpha$ is an arbitrary real number $\alpha>1.$ The range of the…
