This note addresses the question of optimally estimating a linear functional of an object acquired through linear observations corrupted by random noise, where optimality pertains to a worst-case setting tied to a symmetric, convex, and…
We give an example of a convex, finite and lower semicontinuous function whose subdifferential is everywhere empty. This is possible since the function is defined on an incomplete normed space. The function serves as a universal…
We introduce a new volume definition on normed vector spaces. We show that the induced $k$-area functionals are convex for all $k$. In the particular case $k=2$, our theorem implies that Busemann's 2-volume density is convex, which was…
We prove local inequalities for analytic functions defined on a convex body in $\Re^{n}$ which generalize well-known classical inequalities for polynomials.
Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with Santal\'o point at 0\. We show that if $K$ has a point on the boundary with positive generalized Gau{\ss} curvature, then the volume product $|K| |K^\circ|$ is not minimal. This means that a…
For the minimal graph with strict convex level sets, we find an auxiliary function to study the Gaussian curvature of the level sets. We prove that this curvature function is a concave function with respect to the height of the minimal…
In this work, we study the extremal functions of the log-Sobolev functional on compact metric measure spaces satisfying the $\mathrm{RCD}^*(K,N)$ condition for $K$ in $\mathbb{R}$ and $N$ in $(2,\infty)$. We show the existence, regularity…
We show that the cone-volume measure of a convex body with centroid at the origin satisfies the subspace concentration condition. This implies, among others, a conjectured best possible inequality for the $\mathrm{U}$-functional of a convex…
For fixed positive integer $n$, $p\in[0,1]$, $a\in(0,1)$, we prove that if a function $g:\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\to \mathbb{R}$ is sufficiently close to 1, in the $C^a$ sense, then there exists a unique convex body $K$ whose $L_p$ curvature…
We prove a pointwise version of the multi-dimensional central limit theorem for convex bodies. Namely, let X be an isotropic random vector in R^n with a log-concave density. For a typical subspace E in R^n of dimension n^c, consider the…
Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$. We prove that in small codimensions, the sections of a convex body through the centroid are quite symmetric with respect to volume. As a consequence of our estimates we give a positive answer to a…
The authors gave an affine isoperimetric inequality \cite{LYZ2010} that gives a lower bound for the volume of a polar body and the equality holds if and only if the body is a simplex. In this paper, we give a functional isoperimetric…
We investigate the convexity property on $(0,1)$ of the function $$f_a(x)=\frac{{\cal K}{(\sqrt x)}}{a-(1/2)\log(1-x)}.$$ We show that $f_a$ is strictly convex on $(0,1)$ if and only if $a\geq a_c$ and $1/f_a$ is strictly convex on $(0,1)$…
The covariogram g_K of a convex body K in E^d is the function which associates to each x in E^d the volume of the intersection of K with K+x. In 1986 G. Matheron conjectured that for d=2 the covariogram g_K determines K within the class of…
In our previous paper on this topic, we introduced the notion of k-Hessian measure associated with a continuous k-convex function in a domain \Om in Euclidean n-space, k=1,...,n, and proved a weak continuity result with respect to local…
We prove that certain Bellman functions of several variables are the minimal locally concave functions. This generalizes earlier results about Bellman functions of two variables.
We find sufficient conditions for log-convexity and log-concavity for the functions of the forms $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}(a)_kx^k$, $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}\Gamma(a+k)x^k$ and $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}x^k/(a)_k$. The most useful examples of such functions are…
The logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n$ of an analytic and univalent function $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ with the normalization $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$ is defined by $\log \frac{f(z)}{z}= 2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}…
Suppose that $f$ belongs to a suitably defined complete metric space $ {{\cal C}}^{{\alpha}}$ of H\"older $ {\alpha}$-functions defined on $[0,1]$. We are interested in whether one can find large (in the sense of Hausdorff, or lower/upper…
Motivated by a long-standing conjecture of Polya and Szeg\"o about the Newtonian capacity of convex bodies, we discuss the role of concavity inequalities in shape optimization, and we provide several counterexamples to the…
