Some extremal bounds for subclasses of univalent functions

In this paper we obtain the sharp lower bound for , for functions f that are k-uniformly convex in the unit disk U. Next we consider the problem of finding the minimum of for functions f that are k-uniformly convex in the disk of radius r. Corresponding results for the class of starlike functions related to the class of k-uniformly convex functions are presented.     

On Hanner type inequalities with a weight for Banach spaces

We shall present several Hanner type inequalities with a weight constant and characterize 2-uniformly smooth and 2-uniformly convex Banach spaces with these inequalities. p-Uniformly smooth and q-uniformly convex Banach spaces will be also characterized with another Hanner type inequalities with a weight in the other side term. The best value of the weight in these inequalities will be determined for Lp spaces. Also we shall present a duality theorem between these inequalities in a generalized form.     

Certain subclasses of uniformly convex functions of order α and type β with varying arguments

In this paper, we define a new subclass of k-uniformly convex functions order α type β with varying argument of coefficients and obtain coefficient estimates. Further we investigate extreme points, growth and distortion bounds, radii of starlikeness and convexity and modified Hadamard products.     

Iterative algorithms for solving variational inequalities and fixed point problems for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces

The purpose of this paper is to study some iterative algorithms for finding a common element of the set of solutions of systems of variational inequalities for inverse-strongly accretive mappings and the set of fixed points of an asymptotically nonexpansive mapping in uniformly convex and 2-uniformly smooth Banach space or uniformly convex and q-uniformly smooth Banach space. Strong convergence theorems are obtained under suitable conditions. We also give some numerical examples to support our main results. The results obtained in this paper improve and extend the recent ones announced by many others in the literature.     

Existence and iterative approximation of solutions of a system of general variational inclusions

In this paper, we consider a system of general variational inclusions in q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces. Using proximal-point mapping technique, we prove the existence and uniqueness of solution and suggest a Mann type perturbed iterative algorithm for the system of general variational inclusions. We also discuss the convergence criteria and stability of Mann type perturbed iterative algorithm. The techniques and results presented here improve the corresponding techniques and results for the variational inequalities and inclusions in the literature.     

New inequalities for subspace arrangements

For each positive integer n?4, we give an inequality satisfied by rank functions of arrangements of n subspaces. When n=4 we recover Ingleton's inequality; for higher n the inequalities are all new. These inequalities can be thought of as a hierarchy of necessary conditions for a (poly)matroid to be realizable. Some related open questions about the “cone of realizable polymatroids” are also presented.     

Weighted norm inequalities, off-diagonal estimates and elliptic operators. Part III: Harmonic analysis of elliptic operators

This is the third part of a series of four articles on weighted norm inequalities, off-diagonal estimates and elliptic operators. For L in some class of elliptic operators, we study weighted norm Lp inequalities for singular “non-integral” operators arising from L; those are the operators φ(L) for bounded holomorphic functions φ, the Riesz transforms ∇L−1/2 (or (−Δ)^1/2L−1/2) and its inverse L1/2(−Δ)^−1/2, some quadratic functionals gL and GL of Littlewood-Paley-Stein type and also some vector-valued inequalities such as the ones involved for maximal Lp-regularity. For each, we obtain sharp or nearly sharp ranges of p using the general theory for boundedness of Part I and the off-diagonal estimates of Part II. We also obtain commutator results with BMO functions.     

On the Bernstein Inequality for Rational Functions with a Prescribed Zero

We extend some results of Giroux and Rahman (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.193(1974), 67–98) for Bernstein-type inequalities on the unit circle for polynomials with a prescribed zero atz=1 to those for rational functions. These results improve the Bernstein-type inequalities for rational functions. The sharpness of these inequalities is also established. Our approach makes use of the Malmquist–Walsh system of orthogonal rational functions on the unit circle associated with the Lebesgue measure.     

Some radius problems related to a certain subclass of analytic functions

For real parameters α and β such that 0≤α1β,we denote by S(α,β) the class of normalized analytic functions which satisfy the following two-sided inequality:αR(zf′(z)/f(z))β,z∈U,where U denotes the open unit disk.We find a sufficient condition for functions to be in the class S(α,β) and solve several radius problems related to other well-known function classes.     

Asplund sets, differentiability and subdifferentiability of functions in Banach spaces

We show that Asplund sets are effective tools to study differentiability of Lipschitz functions, and ε-subdifferentiability of lower semicontinuous functions on general Banach spaces. If a locally Lipschitz function defined on an Asplund generated space has a minimal Clarke subdifferential mapping, then it is TBY-uniformly strictly differentiable on a dense Gδ subset of X. Examples are given of locally Lipschitz functions that are TBY-uniformly strictly differentiable everywhere, but nowhere Fréchet differentiable.     

Inequalities for the generalized elliptic integrals and modular functions

In this paper, the authors study monotonicity and convexity of the generalized elliptic integrals and certain combinations of these special functions, such as ma(r) and μa(r). Making use of these results, the authors obtain some sharp inequalities for the so-called Ramanujan's generalized modular functions.     

Neighborhood properties of certain classes of multivalently analytic functions associated with the convolution structure

In this paper, by making use of the familiar concept of neighborhoods of p-valently analytic functions, we prove coefficient bounds, distortion inequalities and associated inclusion relations for the (n, δ)-neighborhoods of a family of p-valently analytic functions and their derivatives, which is defined by means of a certain general family of non-homogenous Cauchy-Euler differential equations.     

Proximal analysis in reflexive smooth Banach spaces

In the present paper, we introduce and study a new proximal normal cone in reflexive Banach spaces in terms of a generalized projection operator. Two new variants of generalized proximal subdifferentials are also introduced in reflexive smooth Banach spaces. The density theorem for both proximal subdifferentials has been proved in p-uniformly convex and q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces. Various important properties and applications of our concepts are also proved.     

Bounds for ratios of modified Bessel functions and associated Turán-type inequalities

New sharp inequalities for the ratios of Bessel functions of consecutive orders are obtained using as main tool the first order difference-differential equations satisfied by these functions; many already known inequalities are also obtainable, and most of them can be either improved or the range of validity extended. It is shown how to generate iteratively upper and lower bounds, which are converging sequences in the case of the I-functions. Few iterations provide simple and effective upper and lower bounds for approximating the ratios Iν(x)/Iν−1(x) and the condition numbers for any x,ν?0; for the ratios Kν(x)/Kν+1(x) the same is possible, but with some restrictions on ν. Using these bounds Turán-type inequalities are established, extending the range of validity of some known inequalities and obtaining new inequalities as well; for instance, it is shown that Kν+1(x)Kν−1(x)/(Kν²(x))<|ν|/(|ν|−1), x>0, ν∉[−1,1] and that the inequality is the best possible; this proves and improves an existing conjecture.     

An approximate subgradient algorithm for unconstrained nonsmooth,nonconvex optimization

In this paper a new algorithm for minimizing locally Lipschitz functions is developed. Descent directions in this algorithm are computed by solving a system of linear inequalities. The convergence of the algorithm is proved for quasidifferentiable semismooth functions. We present the results of numerical experiments with both regular and nonregular objective functions. We also compare the proposed algorithm with two different versions of the subgradient method using the results of numerical experiments. These results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm over the subgradient method.      

On the Jensen-Steffensen inequality for generalized convex functions

Jensen-Steffensen type inequalities for P-convex functions and functions with nondecreasing increments are presented. The obtained results are used to prove a generalization of ?eby?ev’s inequality and several variants of Hölder’s inequality with weights satisfying the conditions as in the Jensen-Steffensen inequality. A few well-known inequalities for quasi-arithmetic means are generalized.     

On some Turán-type inequalities for q-special functions

Intrinsic inequalities involving Turán-type inequalities for some q-special functions are established. A special interest is granted to q-Dunkl kernel. The results presented here would provide extensions of those given in the classical case.     

Approximation properties of modified Gamma operators

In this paper we present a survey of rates of pointwise approximation of modified Gamma operators Gn for locally bounded functions and absolutely continuous functions by using some inequalities and results of probability theory with the method of Bojanic-Cheng. In the paper a kind of locally bounded functions is introduced with different growth conditions in the fields of both ends of interval (0,+∞), and it is found out that the operators have different properties compared to the Gamma operators discussed in [X.M. Zeng, Approximation properties of Gamma operators, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 311 (2005) 389-401]. And we obtain two main theorems. Theorem 1 gives an estimate for locally bounded functions which subsumes the approximation of functions of bounded variation as a special case. Theorem 2 gives an estimate for absolutely continuous functions which is best possible in the asymptotical sense.     

A general iteration scheme for variational inequality problem and common fixed point problems of nonexpansive mappings in q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces

In this paper, we introduce a general iterative algorithm for finding a common element of the set of common fixed points of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings and the set of solutions of systems of variational inequalities for two inverse strongly accretive mappings in a q-uniformly smooth Banach space. Then, we prove a strong convergence theorem for the iterative sequence generated by the proposed iterative algorithm under very mild conditions. The methods in the paper are novel and different from those in the early and recent literature. Our results can be viewed as improvement, supplementation, development and extension of the corresponding results in some references to a great extent.     

A simple proof of inequalities of integrals of composite functions

In this paper we give a simple proof of inequalities of integrals of functions which are the composition of nonnegative continuous convex functions on a vector space Rm and vector-valued functions in a weakly compact subset of a Banach vector space generated by m-spaces for 1?p<+∞. Also, the same inequalities hold if these vector-valued functions are in a weakly* compact subset of a Banach vector space generated by m-spaces instead.
