Given an operator convex function $f(x)$, we obtain an operator-valued lower bound for $cf(x) + (1-c)f(y) - f(cx + (1-c)y)$, $c \in [0,1]$. The lower bound is expressed in terms of the matrix Bregman divergence. A similar inequality is…
In this paper we give a simple proof of inequalities of integrals of functions which are the composition of nonnegative continous convex functions on a vector space ${\bf R}^m$ and vector-valued functions in a weakly compact subset of a…
We prove a Hardy inequality on convex sets, for fractional Sobolev-Slobodecki\u{\i} spaces of order $(s,p)$. The proof is based on the fact that in a convex set the distance from the boundary is a superharmonic function, in a suitable…
A considerable amount of literature in the theory of inequality is devoted to the study of Jensen's and Young's inequality. This article presents a number of new inequalities involving the log-convex functions and the geometrically convex…
We establish what we consider to be the definitive versions of Jensen's operator inequality and Jensen's trace inequality for functions defined on an interval. This is accomplished by the introduction of genuine non-commutative convex…
The aim of this article is to establish new two-functions minimax inequalities extending classical results such as Simons' minimax theorem. Our results will be proved in a non-compact setting. We also prove, under general conditions, that…

In this paper we investigate continuity properties of functions $f:\mathbb{R}_+\to\mathbb{R}_+$ that satisfy the $(p,q)$-Jensen convexity inequality $$ f\big(H_p(x,y)\big)\leq H_q(f(x),f(y)) \qquad(x,y>0), $$ where $H_p$ stands for the…

For any given partial order in a $d$-dimensional euclidean space, under mild regularity assumptions, we show that the intersection of closed (generalized) intervals containing more than 1/2 of the probability mass, is a non-empty compact…
Considering the weighted concept of majorization, Sherman obtained generalization of majorization inequality for convex functions known as Sherman's inequality. We extend Sherman's result to the class of n-strongly convex functions using…
We consider the inequality $f \geqslant f\star f$ for real integrable functions on $d$ dimensional Euclidean space where $f\star f$ denotes the convolution of $f$ with itself. We show that all such functions $f$ are non-negative, which is…
Non-convex functions that yet satisfy a condition of uniform convexity for non-close points can arise in discrete constructions. We prove that this sort of discrete uniform convexity is inherited by the convex envelope, which is the key to…
In this paper we use basic properties of strongly convex functions to obtain new inequalities including Jensen's type and Jensen-Mercer type inequalities. Applications for special means are pointed out as well. We also give a Jensen's…
In the field of statistics, many kind of divergence functions have been studied as an amount which measures the discrepancy between two probability distributions. In the differential geometrical approach in statistics (information…
We show a general phenomenon of the constrained functional value for densities satisfying general convexity conditions, which generalizes the observation in Bobkov and Madiman (2011) that the entropy per coordinate in a log-concave random…
We develop a new framework for the Jensen-type inequalities that allows us to deal with functions not necessarily convex and Borel measures not necessarily positive.
The problem of finding the minimizer of a sum of convex functions is central to the field of optimization. Thus, it is of interest to understand how that minimizer is related to the properties of the individual functions in the sum. In this…
In this article, we further explore convex functions by revealing new bounds, resulting from stronger convexity behavior. In particular, we define the so called radical convex functions and study their properties. We will see that such…
Edwards' Theorem establishes duality between a convex cone in the space of continuous functions on a compact space and the set of representing or Jensen measures for this cone. In this paper we prove non-compact versions of this theorem.
