The Polyak-{\L}ojasiewicz (P{\L}) inequality extends the favorable optimization properties of strongly convex functions to a broader class of functions. In this paper, we prove a theorem (also obtained by Criscitiello, Rebjock and Boumal in…

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…

Let $U\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$ be open and convex. We prove that every (not necessarily Lipschitz or strongly) convex function $f:U\to\mathbb{R}$ can be approximated by real analytic convex functions, uniformly on all of $U$. We also show…

Let R+ = (0,infinity) and let M be the family of all mean values of two numbers in R+ (some examples are the arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means). Given m1, m2 in M, we say that a function f : R+ to R+ is (m1,m2)-convex if f(m1(x,y))…

In this paper, using some aspects of convex functions, we refine discrete Jensen's inequality via weight functions. Then, using these results, we give some applications in different abstract spaces and obtain some new interesting…

Since its original formulation, Jensen's inequality has played a fundamental role across mathematics, statistics, and machine learning, with its probabilistic version highlighting the nonnegativity of the so-called Jensen's gap, i.e., the…

A new inequality between some functional of probability distribution functions is given. The inequality is based on strict convexity of a function used in functional definition. Equality sign in the inequality gives a characteristic…

In this work we deal with set-valued functions with values in the power set of a separated locally convex space where a nontrivial pointed convex cone induces a partial order relation. A set-valued function is evenly convex if its epigraph…

In this article we proved an interesting property of the class of continuous convex functions. This leads to the form of pre-Hermite-Hadamard inequality which in turn admits a generalization of the famous Hermite-Hadamard inequality. Some…

A new weighted Hardy-type inequality for functions from the Sobolev space $W_{p}^{1}$ is proved. It is assumed that functions vanish on small alternating pieces of the boundary. The proved inequality generalizes the classical known weighted…

We present a new, very short proof of a conjecture by I. Ra\c{s}a, which is an inequality involving basic Bernstein polynomials and convex functions. It was affirmed positively very recently by J. Mrowiec, T. Rajba and S. W\k{a}sowicz…

The Riesz-Sobolev inequality relates the convolution of nonnegative functions on Euclidean space to the convolution of their symmetric nonincreasing rearrangements. We show that for dimension one, for indicator functions of sets, if the…
