The small-ball method was introduced as a way of obtaining a high probability, isomorphic lower bound on the quadratic empirical process, under weak assumptions on the indexing class. The key assumption was that class members satisfy a…

We consider subelliptic equations in non divergence form of the type $Lu = \sum a_{ij} X_jX_iu=0$, where $X_j$ are the Grushin vector fields, and the matrix coefficient is uniformly elliptic. We obtain a scale invariant Harnack's inequality…

W. Schmidt, H. Montgomery, and J. Beck proved a result on irregularities of distribution with respect to $d$-dimensional balls. In this paper, we extend their result to any $d$-dimensional convex body with a smooth boundary and finite order…

This note gives three short results concerning the elliptic Harnack inequality (EHI), in the context of random walks on graphs. The first is that the EHI implies polynomial growth of the number of points in balls, and the second that the…

Building upon previous works by Young, Chernov-Zhang and Bruin-Melbourne-Terhesiu, we present a general scheme to improve bounds on the statistical properties (in particular, decay of correlations, and rates in the almost sure invariant…

In this paper, we prove the Khavinson conjecture for hyperbolic harmonic functions on the unit ball. This conjecture was partially solved in \cite{JKM2020}.

In the present paper, the following convexity principle is proved: any closed convex multifunction, which is metrically regular in a certain uniform sense near a given point, carries small balls centered at that point to convex sets, even…

In this short note, we establish Blaschke--Santal\'o-type inequalities for $r$-ball bodies. Building on these inequalities, we somewhat further extend earlier results on analogues of the Kneser--Poulsen conjecture concerning intersections…

This paper is partially a review of the development of the Investigation Program announced by Stancho Dimiev at the Bedlevo Conference on Hypercomplex Analysis (2006). A new aspect related with hyperbolic complex numbers, their…

In this paper, the versions of trigonometric functions of certain known inequalities for hyperbolic ones are proved, and then corresponding inequalities for means are presented.

The inequality of Clauser and Horne [ Phys. Rev. D 10, 526 (1974)], intended to overcome the limited scope of other inequalities to deterministic theories, is shown to have a resticted validity even in case of perfect detectors and perfect…

In a celebrated work by Hoeffding [J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 58 (1963) 13-30], several inequalities for tail probabilities of sums M_n=X_1+... +X_n of bounded independent random variables X_j were proved. These inequalities had a…

The BK inequality (\cite{BK85}) says that,for product measures on $\{0,1\}^n$, the probability that two increasing events $A$ and $B$ `occur disjointly' is at most the product of the two individual probabilities. The conjecture in…

We prove an extension of Szarek's optimal Khinchin inequality (1976) for distributions close to the Rademacher one, when all the weights are uniformly bounded by a $1/\sqrt2$ fraction of their total $\ell_2$-mass. We also show a similar…

We derive an upper bound on the size of a ball such that the image of the ball under quadratic map is strongly convex and smooth. Our result is the best possible improvement of the analogous result by Polyak in the case of quadratic map. We…

We investigate lower asymptotic bounds of number variances for invariant locally square-integrable random measures on Euclidean and real hyperbolic spaces. In the Euclidean case we show that there are subsequences of radii for which the…

As a natural analog of Urysohn's inequality in Euclidean space, Gao, Hug, and Schneider showed in 2003 that in spherical or hyperbolic space, the total measure of totally geodesic hypersurfaces meeting a given convex body K is minimized…

A new analytical characterization of balls in the Euclidean space $\RR^m$ is obtained. Unlike previous results of this kind, using either harmonic functions or solutions to the modified Helmholtz equation, the present one is based on…

In this work, we analyze the convergence of Polyak's heavy ball method in both continuous and discrete time for non-convex $C^4$-objective functions satisfying the Polyak-Lojasiewicz inequality. Under this weak assumption, we recover the…

We consider a homogeneous space $X=(X,d,m) $ of dimension $\nu\geq1$ and a local regular Dirichlet form in $L^{2}(X,m) .$ We prove that if a Poincar\'{e} inequality holds on every pseudo-ball $B(x,R) $ of $X$, then an Harnack's inequality…
