In this note, we find a new inequality involving primes and deduce several Bonse-type inequalities.

The well known duality between the Sobolev inequality and the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality suggests that the Nash inequality could also have an interesting dual form, even though the Nash inequality relates three norms instead of…

A new inequality, $(x)^{p}+(1-x)^{\frac{1}{p}}\leq1$ for $p \geq 1$ and $\frac{1}{2} \geq x \geq 0$ is found and proved. The inequality looks elegant as it integrates two number pairs ($x$ and $1-x$, $p$ and $\frac{1}{p}$) whose summation…

We give bounds on the difference between the weighted arithmetic mean and the weighted geometric mean. These imply refined Young inequalities and the reverses of the Young inequality. We also study some properties on the difference between…

We give a $L^2\times L^2 \rightarrow L^2$ convolution estimate for singular measures supported on transversal hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$, which improves earlier results of Bejenaru, Herr & Tataru as well as Bejenaru & Herr. The arising…

We give a very simple proof of a strengthened version of Chernoff's Inequality. We derive the same conclusion from much weaker assumptions.

We give a visually appealing counterexample to the proposition that unbiased estimators are better than biased estimators.

For a real-valued non-negative and log-concave function we introduce a notion of difference function; the difference function represents a functional analog on the difference body of a convex body. We prove a sharp inequality which bounds…

We prove the following exponential inequality: Let $n\geq 1$ and let $X_1,...,X_n$ be $n$ independent identically distributed symmetric real-valued random variables. For any $x,y>0$, we have \[\mathbb{P}\big({X_1+...+X_n}\geq x,\,…

Building on the recent work of Johnson (2007) and Yu (2008), we prove that entropy is a concave function with respect to the thinning operation T_a. That is, if X and Y are independent random variables on Z_+ with ultra-log-concave…

We provide a precise statement and self contained proof of a Sobolev inequality (cf. [A, page 236 and page 237]) stated in the original paper. Higher order and fractional inequalities are treated as well.

Recently, Nagy-To\'okos and Totik-Varga proved an asymptotically sharp $L^{p}$ Bernstein type inequality on union of finitely many intervals. We extend this inequality to the case when the power $p$ is between $0$ and $1$; such sharp…

We prove the reverse ultra log-concavity of the Boros-Moll polynomials. We further establish an inequality which implies the log-concavity of the sequence $\{i!d_i(m)\}$ for any $m\geq 2$, where $d_i(m)$ are the coefficients of the…

Anantharam, Jog and Nair recently put forth an entropic inequality which simultaneously generalizes the Shannon-Stam entropy power inequality and the Brascamp-Lieb inequality in entropic form. We give a brief proof of their result based on…

We prove a sharp integral inequality that generalizes the well known Hardy type integral inequality for negative exponents. We also give sharp applications in two directions for Muckenhoupt weights on R. This work refines the results that…

We consider two non-convex formulations for computing the optimal constant in the Brascamp-Lieb inequality corresponding to a given datum, and show that they are geodesically log-concave on the manifold of positive definite matrices endowed…

We establish an analog Hardy inequality with sharp constant involving exponential weight function. The special case of this inequality (for n=2) leads to a direct proof of Onofri inequality on S^2.

To prove that a measure, linearly representable by means of a finite set of nonnegative matrices $\mathcal M$, has the weak-Gibbs property, one check the uniform convergence (on $\mathcal M^\mathbb N$) of the sequence of vectors…

Let $V$ be a symmetric convex body in $\R^m$. We prove sharp Bernstein-type inequalities for entire functions of exponential type with the spectrum in $V$ and discuss certain properties of the extremal functions. Markov-type inequalities…

We give a large sieve type inequality for functions supported on primes. As application we prove a conjecture by Elliott, and give bounds for short character sums over primes. The proves uses a combination of the large sieve and the Selberg…
