Consider a sum of convex functions, where the only information known about each individual summand is the location of a minimizer. In this work, we give an exact characterization of the set of possible minimizers of the sum. Our results…
It is a well-known conjecture in the theory of irregularities of distribution that the L1 norm of the discrepancy function of an N-point set satisfies the same asymptotic lower bounds as its L^2 norm. In dimension d=2 this fact has been…
In this article we prove an important inequality regarding the Ruelle operator in hyperbolic flows. This was already proven briefly by Mark Pollicott and Richard Sharp in a low dimensional case, but we present a clearer proof of the…
Let $k\geq 2$ be an integer. In the spirit of Kolesnikov-Werner \cite{KW}, for each $j\in\{2,\ldots,k\}$, we conjecture a sharp Santal\'{o} type inequality (we call it $j$-Santal\'{o} conjecture) for many sets (or more generally for many…
In the euclidean space, Sobolev and Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequalities can be related by duality. In this paper, we investigate how to relate these inequalities using the flow of a fast diffusion equation in dimension $d\ge3$. The main…
This paper establishes a sharp Schwarz-Pick type inequality for real-valued invariant harmonic functions defined on the complex unit ball $\mathbb B^n$. The proof of this main result simultaneously provides a solution to a natural extension…
In this paper, we examine team ball sports to investigate how the likelihood of weaker teams winning against stronger ones, referred to as underdog achievement, is influenced by inherent randomness factors that affect match outcomes in such…
This paper establishes small ball probabilities for a class of time-changed processes $X\circ E$, where $X$ is a self-similar process and $E$ is an independent continuous process, each with a certain small ball probability. In particular,…
New Hardy type inequalities in sectorial area and as a limit in an exterior of a ball are proved. Sharpness of the inequalities is shown as well.
The mean value inequality is characteristic for upper semicontinuous functions to be subharmonic. Quasinearly subharmonic functions generalize subharmonic functions. We find the necessary and sufficient conditions under which subsets of…
We study probability inequalities leading to tail estimates in a general semigroup $\mathscr{G}$ with a translation-invariant metric $d_{\mathscr{G}}$. (An important and central example of this in the functional analysis literature is that…
The $L^p$-Brunn-Minkowski theory for $p\geq 1$, proposed by Firey and developed by Lutwak in the 90's, replaces the Minkowski addition of convex sets by its $L^p$ counterpart, in which the support functions are added in $L^p$-norm.…
This work has been prompted by the surprising lack of mathematical coherence in the common usage of some of the fundamental entities in the theory of probability, with an inherent risk of contradiction. While disentangling the intricacies,…
In the present paper we prove several results concerning the existence of low-discrepancy point sets with respect to an arbitrary non-uniform measure $\mu$ on the $d$-dimensional unit cube. We improve a theorem of Beck, by showing that for…
In 2007, \'A. Baricz put forward a conjecture concerning Tur\'an-type inequalities for Gaussian hypergeometric functions (see Conjecture \ref{ConjA} in Section \ref{Sec1}). In this paper, the authors disprove this conjecture with several…
By systematically applying ten well-known and inequivalent two-part relations between hypergeometric sums 3F2(...|1) to the published database of all such sums, 62 new sums are obtained. The existing literature is summarized, and many…
We find the optimal function norm on the left-hand side of the $m$th order Sobolev type inequality $\|u\|_{Y(\mathbb{H}^n)} \leq C \|\nabla_g^m u\|_{X(\mathbb{H}^n)}$ in the $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$, $1\leq m < n$.…
In statistical inference, uncertainty is unknown and all models are wrong. That is to say, a person who makes a statistical model and a prior distribution is simultaneously aware that both are fictional candidates. To study such cases,…
A version of the Riesz-Sobolev convolution inequality is formulated and proved for arbitrary compact connected Abelian groups. Maximizers are characterized and a quantitative stability theorem is proved, under natural hypotheses. A…
In this article, we consider the Ericksen-Leslie's hyperbolic system for compressible liquid crystal model in three spatial dimensions. Global regularity for small and smooth initial data near equilibrium is proved for the case that the…
