We give an extension of Hua's inequality in pre-Hilbert $C^*$-modules without using convexity or the classical Hua's inequality. As a consequence, some known and new generalizations of this inequality are deduced. Providing a Jensen…

We prove a matrix inequality for convex functions of a Hermitian matrix on a bipartite space. As an application we reprove and extend some theorems about eigenvalue asymptotics of Schr\"odinger operators with homogeneous potentials. The…

We propose a list of inequalities which characterize central elements in von Neumann algebras and C*-algebras.

In this paper we consider the order-like relation for self-adjoint operators on some Hilbert space. This relation is defined by using Jensen inequality. We will show that under some assumptions this relation is antisymmetric.

Let $I$ and $J$ be two intervals, and let $f, g: I \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. If for any points $a$ and $b$ in $I$ and any positive numbers $p$ and $q$ such that $p + q = 1$, we have \begin{align} \nonumber p f(a) + q f(b) + g(pa + qb) \in J,…

In this paper we point out a converse result of the celebrated Jensen inequality for differentiable convex mappings of several variables and apply it to counterpart well-known analytic inequalities. Applications to Shannon's and Renyi's…

We study the Jensen functional equations on a group $G$ with values in an abelian group $H$: \begin{align} \tag{J1}\label{eq:J1} f(xy)+f(xy^{-1})&=2f(x)\qquad(\forall\,x,y\in G),\\ \tag{J2}\label{eq:J2}…

This is a continuation of our previous paper. We consider a certain order-like relation for positive operators on a Hilbert space. This relation is defined by using the Jensen inequality with respect to the square-root function. We show…

In this paper, by using the representation theorem for sublinear expectations, we give a simple proof to obtain two inequalities about the sample mean for independent random vectors under sublinear expectations.

A generalization of Powers-St$\o$rmer's inequality for operator monotone functions on $[0, +\infty)$ and for positive linear functional on general $C^*$-algebras will be proved. It also will be shown that the generalized Powers-St$\o$rmer…

After an elementary derivation of Bell's inequality, several forms of expectation functions for two-valued observables are discussed. Special emphasis is given to hypothetical stronger-than quantum expectation functions which give rise to a…

We extend Dragomir's refinement of Jensen's inequality from the dicrete to the general case, identifying the equality conditions.

We establish several deep existence criteria for conditional expectations on von Neumann algebras, and then apply this theory to develop a noncommutative theory of representing measures of characters of a function algebra. Our main cycle of…

We construct a weak conditional expectation from the section C*-algebra of a Fell bundle over a unital inverse semigroup to its unit fibre. We use this to define the reduced C*-algebra of the Fell bundle. We study when the reduced…

In this paper we establish the Ulam stability of Jensen functional inequality in some classes of groups.

We give a number of equivalent conditions (including weak centrality) for a general $C^*$-algebra to have the centre-quotient property. We show that every $C^*$-algebra $A$ has a largest weakly central ideal $J_{wc}(A)$. For an ideal $I$ of…

We generalize the well-known mean value inequality of subharmonic functions for a slightly more general function class. We also apply this generalized mean value inequality to weighted boundary behavior and nonintegrability questions of…

Consider a stationary real-valued time series $\{X_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ with a priori unknown distribution. The goal is to estimate the conditional expectation $E(X_{n+1}|X_0,..., X_n)$ based on the observations $(X_0,..., X_n)$ in a…

We study the Mercer inequality and its operator extension for superquadratic functions. In particular, we give a more general form of the Mercer inequality by replacing some constants by positive operators. As some consequences, our results…
