We study a family of inequalities on pairs of measure spaces involving functions defined on product domains. Our main result establishes a Jensen-type inequality under a general product-measure framework, extending classical inequalities…
Given an nxn doubly stochastic matrix P satisfying an appropriate condition of linear algebraic-type, and a function f defined on a nonempty interval, we show that the validity of a convexity-type functional inequality for f in terms P…
Large algebraic structures are found inside the space of sequences of continuous functions on a compact interval having the property that, the series defined by each sequence converges absolutely and uniformly on the interval but the series…
The medial axis of a smoothly embedded surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ consists of all points for which the Euclidean distance function on the surface has at least two minima. We generalize this notion to the mid-sphere axis, which consists of…
We show that high-dimensional analogues of the sine function (more precisely, the d-dimensional polar sine and the d-th root of the d-dimensional hypersine) satisfy a simplex-type inequality in a real pre-Hilbert space H. Adopting the…
Data depth is a statistical function that generalizes order and quantiles to the multivariate setting and beyond, with applications spanning over descriptive and visual statistics, anomaly detection, testing, etc. The celebrated halfspace…
The concept of depth has proved very important for multivariate and functional data analysis, as it essentially acts as a surrogate for the notion a ranking of observations which is absent in more than one dimension. Motivated by the rapid…
Inequalities play an important role in pure and applied mathematics. In particular, Jensen's inequality, one of the most famous inequalities, plays a main role in the study of the existence and uniqueness of initial and boundary value…
Exact Jackson-type inequalities are obtained in terms of best approximations and averaged values of generalized moduli of smoothness in the spaces ${\mathcal S}^p$. The values of Kolmogorov, Bernstein, linear, and projective widths in the…
We investigate $(2+1)$-dimensional discretized directed polymers in Gaussian random media. By numerically calculating the probability distribution function of overlap between two independent and identical systems on a common random…
We investigate several instances of the Hadamard inequality in the mean in two dimensions. As a consequence, we prove the uniqueness of minimizers of an integral functional with a polyconvex integrand, subject to mixed Dirichlet and Neumann…
In this article we give some improvements and generalizations of the famous Jensen's and Jensen-Mercer inequalities for twice differentiable functions, where convexity property of the target function is not assumed in advance. They…
We introduce a nonstandard extension of the category of diffeological spaces, and demonstrate its application to the study of generalized functions. Just as diffeological spaces are defined as concrete sheaves on the site of Euclidean open…
Given an m-dimensional compact submanifold $\mathbf{M}$ of Euclidean space $\mathbf{R}^s$, the concept of mean location of a distribution, related to mean or expected vector, is generalized to more general $\mathbf{R}^s$-valued functionals…
For a probability measure on a real separable Hilbert space, we are interested in "volume-based" approximations of the d-dimensional least squares error of it, i.e., least squares error with respect to a best fit d-dimensional affine…
Some sharp inequalities of Gruss type for sequences of vectors in real or complex inner product spaces are obtained. Applications for Jensen's inequality for convex functions defined on such spaces are also provided.
We prove an extension of McDiarmid's inequality for metric spaces with unbounded diameter. To this end, we introduce the notion of the {\em subgaussian diameter}, which is a distribution-dependent refinement of the metric diameter. Our…
Halfspace depth and $\beta$-skeleton depth are two types of depth functions in nonparametric data analysis. The halfspace depth of a query point $q\in \mathbb{R}^d$ with respect to $S\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ is the minimum portion of the…
We study a new class of distances between Radon measures similar to those studied in a recent paper of Dolbeault-Nazaret-Savar\'e [DNS]. These distances (more correctly pseudo-distances because can assume the value $+\infty$) are defined…
Let $\mu$ be a Gaussian measure (say, on ${\bf R}^n$) and let $K, L \subset {\bf R}^n$ be such that K is convex, $L$ is a "layer" (i.e. $L = \{x : a \leq < x,u > \leq b \}$ for some $a$, $b \in {\bf R}$ and $u \in {\bf R}^n$) and the…
