Given a function $f$ defined on a nonempty and convex subset of the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, we prove that if $f$ is bounded from below and it satisfies a convexity-type functional inequality with infinite convex combinations, then…

We investigate a Grothendieck-type inequality for pairs of Banach spaces $E,F$ assuming $E$ is finite-dimensional and study the associated Grothendieck-type constant. We prove that if there is a $C >0$ such that $\|A\otimes…

In this paper we collect several examples of convergence of functions of random processes to generalized functionals of those processes. We remark that the limit is always finitely absolutely continuous with respect to Wiener measure. We…

Given a smooth positive function $f$ defined on the unit circle satisfying a simple condition, we obtain a Poincar\'{e}-type inequality for an arbitrary function $u$ whose weighted average with respect to $f$ is zero. The proof uses…

A condition on a Banach function space $X$ is given under which the Coifman-Fefferman and Fefferman-Stein inequalities on $X$ are equivalent.

In this paper we propose and solve a generalization of the Bernoulli Differential Equation, by means of a generalized fractional derivative. First we prove a generalization of Gronwall's inequality, which is useful for studying the…

We establish a Fenchel-Moreau type theorem for proper convex functions $f\colon X\to \bar{L}^0$, where $(X, Y, \langle \cdot,\cdot \rangle)$ is a dual pair of Banach spaces and $\bar L^0$ is the space of all extended real-valued functions…

We show \begin{align*} \frac{ \int_{E \cap \theta^+} f(x) dx }{ \int_E f(x) dx } \geq \left(\frac{k \gamma+1}{(n+1) \gamma+1}\right)^{\frac{k \gamma+1}{\gamma}} \end{align*} for all $k$-dimensional subspaces $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$,…

As part of the search for the value of the smallest upper bound of the best constant for the famous Grothendieck inequality, the so-called Grothendieck constant (a hard open problem - unsolved since 1953), we provide a further approach,…

Let $(C(t))\_{t \in R}$ be a cosine function in a unital Banach algebra. We show that if $sup\_{t\in R}\Vert C(t)-cos(t)\Vert \textless{} 2$ for some continuous scalar bounded cosine function $(c(t))\_{t\in \R},$ then the closed subalgebra…

Using Leray-Schauder degree or degree for $\alpha$-condensing maps we obtain the existence of at least one solution for the boundary value problem of the type \[ \left\{\begin{array}{lll} (\varphi(u' ))' = f(t,u,u') & & \\ u(T)=0=u'(0), & &…

In the recent paper \cite{Aza:19} D Azagra studies the global shape of continuous convex functions defined on a Banach space $X$. More precisely, when $X$ is separable, it is shown that for every continuous convex function…

We study the following problem: given n real arguments a1, ..., an and n real weights w1, ..., wn, under what conditions does the inequality w1 f(a1) + w2 f(a2) + ... + wn f(an) >= 0 hold for all functions f with nonnegative kth derivative…

We make some remarks on the global shape of continuous convex functions defined on a Banach space $Z$. Among other results we prove that if $Z$ is separable then for every continuous convex function $f:Z\to\mathbb{R}$ there exist a unique…

An important consequence of the Hahn-Banach Theorem says that on any locally convex Hausdorff topological space $X$, there are sufficiently many continuous linear functionals to separate points of $X$. In the paper, we establish a `local'…

We prove a generalisation of Fernique's theorem which applies to a class of (measurable) functionals on abstract Wiener spaces by using the isoperimetric inequality. Our motivation comes from rough path theory where one deals with iterated…

Let (e^{tA})_{t \geq 0} be a C_0-contraction semigroup on a 2-smooth Banach space E, let (W_t)_{t \geq 0} be a cylindrical Brownian motion in a Hilbert space H, and let (g_t)_{t \geq 0} be a progressively measurable process with values in…

The aim of this short note is to give an alternative proof, which applies to functions of bounded variation in arbitrary domains, of an inequality by Maz'ya that improves Friedrichs inequality. A remarkable feature of such a proof is that…

We give a new characterization of a continuous embedding between two function spaces of type $G\Gamma$. Such spaces are governed by functionals of type \begin{equation*} \|f\|_{G\Gamma(r,q;w,\delta)} := \left(\int_{0}^{L} \left(…

In this paper we prove that if $X $ is a Banach space, then for every lower semi-continuous bounded below function $f, $ there exists a $\left(\varphi_1, \varphi_2\right)-$convex function $g, $ with arbitrarily small norm, such that $f + g…
