Given two functions $f,g:I\to\mathbf{R}$ and a probability measure $\mu$ on the Borel subsets of $[0,1]$, the two-variable mean $M_{f,g;\mu}:I^2\to I$ is defined by $$ M_{f,g;\mu}(x,y) :=\bigg(\frac{f}{g}\bigg)^{-1}\left( \frac{\int_0^1…

We consider the ground state $\phi_0$ of the Schr\"odinger operator $L=-\Delta+V$ on the bounded convex domain $\Omega\subset\R^n$, satisfying the Dirichlet boundary condition. Assume that $V\in C^1(\Omega)$ and it admits an even function…

Using optimal mass transport arguments, we prove weighted Sobolev inequalities of the form \[\left(\int_E |u(x)|^q\,\omega(x) \,dx\right)^{1/q}\leq K_0\,\left(\int_E |\nabla u(x)|^p\,\sigma(x)\,dx\right)^{1/p},\ \ u\in C_0^\infty(\mathbb…

We focus on the log-Sobolev inequality for spin systems on the lattice with interactions of higher order than quadratic. We show that if the one-dimensional single-site measure with boundaries satisfies the log-Sobolev inequality uniformly…

Sobolev-type embeddings on metric measure spaces encode a subtle interaction between the analytic regularity of functions and the geometry of the underlying domain space. In this paper we develop an embedding theory for variable…

In this work, we obtain an existence of nontrivial solutions to a minimization problem involving a fractional Hardy-Sobolev type inequality in the case of inner singularity. Precisely, for $\lambda>0$ we analyze the attainability of the…

Given a second order parabolic operator $$ Lu(t,x) :=\frac{\partial u(t,x)}{\partial t} + a^{ij}(t,x)\partial_{x_i}\partial_{x_j}u(t,x) + b^i(t,x)\partial_{x_i}u(t,x), $$ we consider the weak parabolic equation $L^{*}\mu=0$ for Borel…

We give an alternative proof to Wu's logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the Poisson measure on the nonnegative integers using a stochastic variational formula for entropy. We show that this approach leads to improvement of Wu's inequality…

We investigate geometric and functional inequalities for the class of log-concave probability sequences. We prove dilation inequalities for log-concave probability measures on the integers. A functional analogue of this geometric inequality…

This article provides a new approach to address Mosco convergence of gradient-type Dirichlet forms, $\mathcal E^N$ on $L^2(E,\mu_N)$ for $N\in\mathbb N$, in the framework of converging Hilbert spaces by K.~Kuwae and T.~Shioya. The basic…

We prove that a general class of measures, which includes $\log$-concave measures, is $\frac{1}{n}$-concave according to the terminology of Borell, with additional assumptions on the measures or on the sets, such as symmetries. This…

This paper is devoted to various applications of Hardy-Sobolev type inequalities. We derive a new $L^2$ estimate for the $\bar{\partial}-$equation on ${\mathbb C}^n$ which yields a quantitative generalization of the Hartogs extension…

We study the adaptation properties of the multivariate log-concave maximum likelihood estimator over three subclasses of log-concave densities. The first consists of densities with polyhedral support whose logarithms are piecewise affine.…

Given a closed orientable surface (\Sigma) of genus at least two, we establish an affine isomorphism between the convex compact set of isotopy-invariant topological measures on (\Sigma) and the convex compact set of additive functions on…

In a 2013 paper, the author showed that the convolution of a compactly supported measure on the real line with a Gaussian measure satisfies a logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI). In a 2014 paper, the author gave bounds for the optimal…

Let $(X,d_X,\mu)$ be a metric measure space where $X$ is locally compact and separable and $\mu$ is a Borel regular measure such that $0 <\mu(B(x,r)) <\infty$ for every ball $B(x,r)$ with center $x \in X$ and radius $r>0$. We define…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary and $V:M\to \mathbb R$ a smooth function. Denote by $P_t$ and ${\rm d}\mu=e^V\,{\rm d} x$ the semigroup and symmetric measure of the second order differential operator…

We introduce a notion of "gradient at a given scale" of functions defined on a metric measure space. We then use it to define Sobolev inequalities at large scale and we prove their invariance under large-scale equivalence (maps that…

The constrained minimisers of convex integral functionals of the form $\mathscr F(v)=\int_\Omega F(\nabla^k v(x))\mathrm d x $ defined on Sobolev mappings $v\in \mathrm W^{k,1}_g(\Omega , \mathbb R^N )\cap K$, where $K$ is a closed convex…

This work is concerned with both higher integrability and differentiability for linear nonlocal equations with possibly very irregular coefficients of VMO-type or even coefficients that are merely small in BMO. In particular, such…
