The focus of this article is on entropy and Markov processes. We study the properties of functionals which are invariant with respect to monotonic transformations and analyze two invariant "additivity" properties: (i) existence of a…

We consider the problem of testing equality of functions $f_j:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}$ for $j=1,2,...,J$ the basis of $J$ independent samples from possibly different distributions under the assumption that the functions are monotone. We provide…

We generalize the celebrated isoperimetric inequality of Khot, Minzer, and Safra~(SICOMP 2018) for Boolean functions to the case of real-valued functions $f \colon \{0,1\}^d\to\mathbb{R}$. Our main tool in the proof of the generalized…

Let $f \in M_+(\mathbb{R}_+)$, the class of nonnegative, Lebesgure-measurable functions on $\mathbb{R}_+=(0, \infty)$. We deal with integral operators of the form \[ (T_Kf)(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}_+}K(x,y)f(y)\, dy, \quad x \in \mathbb{R}_+, \]…

We define an integral of real-valued functions with respect to a measure that takes its values in the extended positive cone of a partially ordered vector space $E$. The monotone convergence theorem, Fatou's lemma, and the dominated…

Let $F$ be an entire function represented by absolutely convergent for all $z\in\mathbb{C}$ Dirichlet series of the form $ F(z) = \sum\nolimits_{n=0}^{+\infty} a_{n}e^{z\lambda_{n}},$\ where a sequence $(\lambda_n)$ such that…

We prove a rearrangement inequality for the uncentered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function $M_{\mu}$ associate to general measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}$. This inequality is analogous to the Stein's result $cf^{**}(t)\leq(Mf)^{*}(t)\leq C…

In this paper, the algebra of the differences of two multiply monotone functions on $\mathbb{R}_+=(0,+\infty)$ is studied. A sufficient condition for the function $f_0\big(|x|_{p,d}\big)$, where…

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}$. We give conditions on the Fourier transform of its density for functionals of the form $H(a)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}h(\langle a,x\rangle)\mu^n(dx)$ to be Schur monotone. As applications, we…

Let $C$ be an open cone in a Banach space equipped with the Thompson metric with closure a normal cone. The main result gives sufficient conditions for Borel probability measures $\mu,\nu$ on $C$ with finite first moment for which $\mu\leq…

We characterize the weighted Hardy's inequalities for monotone functions in ${\mathbb R^n_+}.$ In dimension $n=1$, this recovers the classical theory of $B_p$ weights. For $n>1$, the result was only known for the case $p=1$. In fact, our…

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 $a=I(f)(1)$, $b=I^2(f)(1)$, $c=I^3(f)(1)$…

Let $P_{\alpha} f(x,t)$ be the Caffarelli-Silvestre extension of a smooth function $f(x): \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n+1}_+:=\mathbb{R}^n\times (0,\infty).$ The purpose of this article is twofold. Firstly, we want to characterize…

We consider the problem of testing whether an unknown Boolean function $f$ is monotone versus $\epsilon$-far from every monotone function. The two main results of this paper are a new lower bound and a new algorithm for this well-studied…

Given a multi-index sequence $\mu_{\mathbf{k}}$, $\mathbf{k} = (k_1,..., k_n) \in \mathbb{N}_0^n$, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of a regular Borel polymeasure $\gamma$ on the unit interval $I= [0,1]$ such…

We investigate four partial orderings on the space of quantum measurements (i.e on POVMs or positive operator valued measures), describing four notions of coarse/fine-ness of measurement. These are the partial orderings induced by: (1)…

Let $(X,{\mathcal A},\mu)$ be a probability space and let $S\colon X\to X$ be a measurable transformation. Motivated by the paper of K. Nikodem [Czechoslovak Math. J. 41(116) (4) (1991) 565--569], we concentrate on a functional equation…

Let $[q] = \{0,1,\ldots,q-1\}$, let $\Delta[q]$ denote the simplex of probability measures on $[q]$, and let $\gamma$ denote the Lebesgue measure normalized on $\Delta[q]$. We prove that for any symmetric monotone function $f \colon[q]^n…

This paper examines various aspects related to the Cauchy functional equation $f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)$, a fundamental equation in the theory of functional equations. In particular, it considers its solvability and its stability relative to…
