New Orlicz variants of Hardy type inequalities with power, power-logarithmic, and power-exponential weights

We obtain Hardy type inequalities $$\int_0^\infty {M\left( {\omega \left( r \right)\left| {u\left( r \right)} \right|} \right)\rho \left( r \right)dr} \leqslant C_1 \int_0^\infty {M\left( {\left| {u\left( r \right)} \right|} \right)\rho \left( r \right)dr + C_2 \int_0^\infty {M\left( {\left| {u'\left( r \right)} \right|} \right)\rho \left( r \right)dr,} }$$ and their Orlicz-norm counterparts $$\left\| {\omega u} \right\|_{L^M (\mathbb{R}_ + ,\rho )} \leqslant \tilde C_1 \left\| u \right\|_{L^M (\mathbb{R}_ + ,\rho )} + \tilde C_2 \left\| {u'} \right\|_{L^M (\mathbb{R}_ + ,\rho )} ,$$ with an N-function M, power, power-logarithmic and power-exponential weights ??, ??, holding on suitable dilation invariant supersets of C ₀ ^?? (?₊). Maximal sets of admissible functions u are described. This paper is based on authors?? earlier abstract results and applies them to particular classes of weights.     

Jensen inequalities for functions with higher monotonicities

Summary We investigate generalizations of the classical Jensen and Chebyshev inequalities. On one hand, we restrict the class of functions and on the other we enlarge the class of measures which are allowed. As an example, consider the inequality (J)(f(x) d) A (f(x) d, d d = 1. Iff is an arbitrary nonnegativeL _x function, this holds if 0, is convex andA = 1. Iff is monotone the measure need not be positive for (J) to hold for all convex withA = 1. If has higher monotonicity, e.g., is also convex, then we get a version of (J) withA < 1 and measures that need not be positive.     

Finite-dimensional quasi-variational inequalities associated with discontinuous functions

In this paper, given a nonempty closed convex setX ? ⁿ , a functionf: X→? ⁿ , and a multifunction Γ:X→2^X, we deal with the problem of finding a point \(\hat x\) ∈X such that $$\hat x \in \Gamma (\hat x) and \langle f(\hat x), \hat x - y\rangle \leqslant 0, for all y \in \Gamma (\hat x).$$ For such problem, we establish a result where, in particular, the functionf is not assumed to be continuous. More precisely, we extend to the present setting a finite-dimensional version of a result by Ricceri on variational inequalities (Ref. 1).     

Analytic inequalities with applications to special functions

Sharp inequalities are derived for certain (polynomial-like) functions of the real variables p_i (i = 1(1)σ) by interpreting p_i as the probabilities that various switches be thrown in certain directions. Parameters m_v in the inequalities are at first taken to be integers; later the inequalities are established when m_v are arbitrary real numbers. The side condition ∑p_i = 1 occurs throughout analysis, so there are many corollaries. Examples of the inequalities established are

$\text{∑}\text{i=1}\text{σ}\text{(1?p}{}_{\mathrm{i}}{}^{\mathrm{m}}\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{m}}\text{>K?1,}$

valid ifm>1

$\text{∑}\text{j=0}\text{r}\text{n}\text{j}\text{p}{}^{\mathrm{jm}}\text{(1?p}{}^{\mathrm{m}}\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{m?j}}\text{+}\text{1?}\text{∑}\text{j=0}\text{r}\text{n}\text{j}\text{p}{}^{\mathrm{j}}\text{(1?p?s)}{}^{\mathrm{n?j}}{}^{\mathrm{m}}\text{> 1+s}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>max</mtext><mtext>[m,n]</mtext>}}$

valid if m > 1, n > r + 1, 0 < p, s, p + s ? 1, and also valid if $\text{0 < m < 1, 0 < n < r + 1 (1 ? x)}{}^{\mathrm{u}}\text{+ x}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>u</mtext>}}\text{< 1,}\text{if}\text{1}\text{2}\text{< x < 1, u > 1}$. (1.03)     

Some probability inequalities connected with Schur functions

Bounds for several integrals (tail probabilities, for example) are established by showing that each integral is a Schur function.     

Symmetric multivariate orthogonal refinable functions

In this paper, we shall investigate the symmetry property of a multivariate orthogonal M-refinable function with a general dilation matrix M. For an orthogonal M-refinable function such that is symmetric about a point (centro-symmetric) and provides the approximation order k, we show that must be an orthogonal M-refinable function that generates a generalized coiflet of order k. Next, we show that there does not exist a real-valued compactly supported orthogonal 2I_s-refinable function in any dimension such that is symmetric about a point and generates a classical coiflet. Finally, we prove that if a real-valued compactly supported orthogonal dyadic refinable function L₂(R^s) has the axis symmetry, then cannot be a continuous function and can provide the approximation order at most one. The results in this paper may provide a better picture about symmetric multivariate orthogonal refinable functions. In particular, one of the results in this paper settles a conjecture in [D. Stanhill, Y.Y. Zeevi, IEEE Trans. Signal Process. 46 (1998), 183–190] about symmetric orthogonal dyadic refinable functions.     

Symmetric functions in noncommuting variables

Consider the algebra of formal power series in countably many noncommuting variables over the rationals. The subalgebra of symmetric functions in noncommuting variables consists of all elements invariant under permutation of the variables and of bounded degree. We develop a theory of such functions analogous to the ordinary theory of symmetric functions. In particular, we define analogs of the monomial, power sum, elementary, complete homogeneous, and Schur symmetric functions as well as investigating their properties.

     

Symmetric functions and Springer representations

The characters of the (total) Springer representations afford the Green functions, that can understood as generalizations of Hall–Littlewood’s $Q$-functions. In this paper, we present a purely algebraic proof that the (total) Springer representations of $GL\left(n\right)$ are $\mathrm{Ext}$-orthogonal to each other, and show that it is compatible with the natural categorification of the ring of symmetric functions.     

Norm inequalities for vector functions

We study vector functions of Rn into itself, which are of the form x?g(|x|)x, where g:(0,∞)→(0,∞) is a continuous function and call these radial functions. In the case when g(t)=tc for some c∈R, we find upper bounds for the distance of image points under such a radial function. Some of our results refine recent results of L. Maligranda and S.S. Dragomir. In particular, we study quasiconformal mappings of this simple type and obtain norm inequalities for such mappings.     

Some inequalities for characteristic functions

In a recent paper, Matysiak and Szablowski [V. Matysiak, P.J. Szablowski, Theory Probab. Appl. 45 (2001) 711-713] posed an interesting conjecture about a lower bound of real-valued characteristic functions. Under a suitable moment condition on distributions, we prove the conjecture to be true. The unified approach proposed here enables us to obtain new inequalities for characteristic functions. We also show by example that the improvement in the bounds is significant if more information about the distribution is available.

Functional inequalities involving special functions

Let up(x) be the generalized and normalized Bessel function depending on parameters b,c,p and let σ(r)=up(1−r²)/up(r²), r∈(0,1). Motivated by an open problem of Anderson, Vamanamurthy, and Vuorinen we prove that for all r₁,r₂∈(0,1) for certain conditions on the parameters b,c,p.     

Nonconvex functions and variational inequalities

In this paper, we study some properties of a class of nonconvex functions, called semipreinvex functions, which includes the classes of preinvex functions and arc-connected convex functions. It is shown that the minimum of an arcwise directionally differentiable semi-invex functions on a semi-invex set can be characterized by a class of variational inequalities, known as variational-like inequalities. We use the auxiliary principle technique to prove the existence of a solution of a variational-like inequality and suggest a novel iterative algorithm.
