We show that analytic analogs of Brunn-Minkowski-type inequalities fail for functional intrinsic volumes on convex functions. This is demonstrated both through counterexamples and by connecting the problem to results of Colesanti, Hug, and…

In this paper, some Jensen's type inequalities between quaternionic bounded selfadjoint operators on quaternionic Hilbert spaces are proved, using a log-convex function. Also, by applying a specific log-convex function, some particular…

We give a new lower bound for the first gap $\lambda_2 - \lambda_1$ of the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Schr{\"o}dinger operator on a bounded convex domain $\Omega$ in R$^n$ or S$^n$ and greatly sharpens the previous estimates. The new…

Let $\Omega$ be a convex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ and $\varphi$ a convex function on $\Omega$. We prove that $\log{K_{\Omega,\varphi}(z)}$ is a convex function (might be identically $-\infty$) on $\Omega$, where $K_{\Omega,\varphi}$ is the…

We study the first Dirichlet eigenfunction of a class of Schr\"odinger operators with a convex potential V on a domain $\Omega$. We find two length scales $L_1$ and $L_2$, and an orientation of the domain $\Omega$, which determine the shape…
