Given two functions $f,g:I\to\mathbf{R}$ and a probability measure $\mu$ on the Borel subsets of $[0,1]$, the two-variable mean $M_{f,g;\mu}:I^2\to I$ is defined by $$ M_{f,g;\mu}(x,y) :=\bigg(\frac{f}{g}\bigg)^{-1}\left( \frac{\int_0^1…

This article provides a new approach to address Mosco convergence of gradient-type Dirichlet forms, $\mathcal E^N$ on $L^2(E,\mu_N)$ for $N\in\mathbb N$, in the framework of converging Hilbert spaces by K.~Kuwae and T.~Shioya. The basic…

We prove that a general class of measures, which includes $\log$-concave measures, is $\frac{1}{n}$-concave according to the terminology of Borell, with additional assumptions on the measures or on the sets, such as symmetries. This…
