A physical magnetic field has a divergence of zero. Numerical error in constructing a model field and computing the divergence, however, introduces a finite divergence into these calculations. A popular metric for measuring divergence is…
We study metric properties of symmetric divergences on Hermitian positive definite matrices. In particular, we prove that the square root of these divergences is a distance metric. As a corollary we obtain a proof of the metric property for…
Our main results are certain developments of the classical Poisson--Jensen formula for subharmonic functions. The basis of the classical Poisson--Jensen formula is the natural duality between harmonic measures and Green's functions. Our…
Many classical geometric inequalities on functionals of convex bodies depend on the dimension of the ambient space. We show that this dimension dependence may often be replaced (totally or partially) by different symmetry measures of the…
This work uncovers variational principles behind symmetrizing the Bregman divergences induced by generic mirror maps over the cone of positive definite matrices. We show that computing the canonical means for this symmetrization can be…
In recent papers the convexity of quasiarithmetic means was characterized under twice differentiability assumptions. One of the main goals of this paper is to show that the convexity or concavity of a quasiarithmetic mean implies the the…
We offer new proofs, refinements as well as new results related to classical means of two variables, including the identric and logarithmic means.
Based on collection of bijections, variable and function are extended into ``isomorphic variable'' and ``dual-variable-isomorphic function'', then mean values such as arithmetic mean and mean of a function are extended to ``isomorphic…

In this paper, we introduce new classes of divergences by extending the definitions of the Bregman divergence and the skew Jensen divergence. These new divergence classes (g-Bregman divergence and skew g-Jensen divergence) satisfy some…
Using Blackwell's definition of comparing two experiments, a comparison is made with \textit{generalized AG - divergence} measure having one and two scalar parameters. Connection of \textit{generalized AG - divergence} measure with…
The standardized mean difference (SMD) is a widely used measure of effect size, particularly common in psychology, clinical trials, and meta-analysis involving continuous outcomes. Traditionally, under the equal variance assumption, the SMD…
We briefly describe some well-known means and their properties, focusing on the relationship with integer sequences. In particular, the harmonic numbers, deriving from the harmonic mean, motivate the definition of a new kind of mean that we…
In this note we revisit the classical geometric-arithmetic mean inequality and find a formula for the difference of the arithmetic and the geometric means of given $n\in\mathbb N$ nonnegative numbers $x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n$. The formula yields…
Divergence functions are interesting discrepancy measures. Even though they are not true distances, we can use them to measure how separated two points are. Curiously enough, when they are applied to random variables, they lead to a notion…
Some mathematical inequalities among various weighted means are studied. Inequalities on weighted logarithmic mean are given. Besides, the gap in Jensen's inequality is studied as a convex function approach. Consequently, some non-trivial…
Divergences are quantities that measure discrepancy between two probability distributions and play an important role in various fields such as statistics and machine learning. Divergences are non-negative and are equal to zero if and only…
Metrization of statistical divergences is valuable in both theoretical and practical aspects. One approach to obtaining metrics associated with divergences is to consider their fractional powers. Motivated by this idea, Os\'an, Bussandri,…
Several new geometric quantile-based measures for multivariate dispersion, skewness, kurtosis, and spherical asymmetry are defined. These measures differ from existing measures, which use volumes and are easy to calculate. Some theoretical…
