We examine the {combinatorial} or {probabilistic} definition ("Boltzmann's principle") of the entropy or cross-entropy function $H \propto \ln \mathbb{W}$ or $D \propto - \ln \mathbb{P}$, where $\mathbb{W}$ is the statistical weight and…

The work [8] established memory loss in the time-dependent (non-random) case of uniformly expanding maps of the interval. Here we find conditions under which we have convergence to the normal distribution of the appropriately scaled…

We prove the existence of maximizers and the precompactness of $L^p$-normalized maximizing sequences modulo symmetries for all valid scale-invariant Fourier extension inequalities on the cone in $\mathbb R^{1+d}$. In the range for which…

We develop a class of exponential bounds for the probability that a martingale sequence crosses a time-dependent linear threshold. Our key insight is that it is both natural and fruitful to formulate exponential concentration inequalities…

We consider nonlocal operators of the form \begin{equation*} L_t u(x) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} \left( u(x+y)-u(x)-\nabla u(x)\cdot y^{(\sigma)} \right) \nu_t(dy), \end{equation*} where $\nu_t$ is a general L\'evy measure of order $\sigma…

We establish the unique solvability of solutions in Sobolev spaces to linear parabolic equations in a more general form than those in the literature. A distinguishing feature of our equations is the inclusion of a half-order time derivative…

We study the relations between (tight) logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, entropy decay and spectral gap inequalities for Markov evolutions on von Neumann algebras. We prove that log-Sobolev inequalities (in the non-commutative form defined…

We investigate various questions concerning the reciprocal sum of divisors, or prime divisors, of the Mersenne numbers $2^n-1$. Conditional on the Elliott-Halberstam Conjecture and the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we determine…

We study $l^p$ operator norms of factorable matrices and related results. We give applications to $l^p$ operator norms of weighted mean matrices and Copson's inequalities. We also apply the method in this paper to study the best constant in…

The $L_p$-discrepancy is a quantitative measure for the irregularity of distribution modulo one of infinite sequences. In 1986 Proinov proved for all $p>1$ a lower bound for the $L_p$-discrepancy of general infinite sequences in the…

We show that the formula for the essential norm of a multiplication operator on $L_p$, for $1<p<\infty$, also holds for $p=1$. We also provide a proof for the formula which works simultaneously for all $p\in[1,\infty)$.

We prove $L^p$ quantitative differentiability estimates for functions defined on uniformly rectifiable subsets of the Euclidean space. More precisely, we show that a Dorronsoro-type theorem holds in this context: the $L^p$ norm of the…

Let $M_n^{(k)}$ denote the $k$th largest maximum of a sample $(X_1,X_2,...,X_n)$ from parent $X$ with continuous distribution. Assume there exist normalizing constants $a_n>0$, $b_n\in \mathbb{R}$ and a nondegenerate distribution $G$ such…

Fourier series in orthogonal polynomials with respect to a measure $\nu$ on $[-1,1]$ are studied when $\nu$ is a linear combination of a generalized Jacobi weight and finitely many Dirac deltas in $[-1,1]$. We prove some weighted norm…

In this paper we consider the martingale Hardy spaces defined with the help of the mixed $L_{\pv}$-norm. Five mixed martingale Hardy spaces will be investigated: $H_{\pv}^{s}$, $H_{\pv}^S$, $H_{\pv}^M$, $\cP_{\pv}$ and $\cQ_{\pv}$. Several…

This paper aims to establish the norm properties of the variable mixed space $ \ell^{q(\cdot)}(L^{p(\cdot)}) $ when $ 1<q_-,p_-,q_+,p_+<\infty $. In this way, we address the open problem raised by Almeida and H\"{a}st\"{o}.

Confidence sequences, anytime p-values (called p-processes in this paper), and e-processes all enable sequential inference for composite and nonparametric classes of distributions at arbitrary stopping times. Examining the literature, one…

This article gives an affirmative solution to the problem whether the ergodic Ces\'aro averages generated by a positive Dunford-Schwartz operator in a noncommutative space $L^p(\mathcal M,\tau)$, $1\leq p<\infty$, converge almost uniformly…

The paper contains an alternative proof of the celebrated $L^p$ estimates for differentially subordinate martingales established by Burkholder and Wang in the eighties and nineties. The approach links the validity of the estimate to the…

For $a,b>0$ with $a\neq b$, we define M_{p}=M^{1/p}(a^{p},b^{p})\text{if}p\neq 0 \text{and} M_{0}=\sqrt{ab}, where $M=A,He,L,I,P,T,N,Z$ and $Y$ stand for the arithmetic mean, Heronian mean, logarithmic mean, identric (exponential) mean, the…
