Popoviciu's inequality for functions of several variables

T. Popoviciu (1965) [13] has proved an interesting characterization of the convex functions of one real variable, based on an inequality relating the values at any three points x₁,x₂,x₃, with the values at their means of different orders: (x₁+x₂)/2, (x₂+x₃)/2, (x₃+x₁)/2 and (x₁+x₂+x₃)/3. The aim of our paper is to develop a higher dimensional analogue of the usual convexity based on his characterization.     

Direct sums of balanced functions,perfect nonlinear functions,and orthogonal cocycles

Determining if a direct sum of functions inherits nonlinearity properties from its direct summands is a subtle problem. Here, we correct a statement by Nyberg on inheritance of balance and we use a connection between balanced derivatives and orthogonal cocycles to generalize Nyberg's result to orthogonal cocycles. We obtain a new search criterion for PN functions and orthogonal cocycles mapping to non‐cyclic abelian groups and use it to find all the orthogonal cocycles over Z ₂^t, 2 ≤ t ≤ 4. We conjecture that any orthogonal cocycle over Z ₂^t, t ≥ 2, must be multiplicative. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 16: 173–181, 2008

Moment inequalities for the partial sums of random variables

This paper discusses the conditions under which Rosenthal type inequality is obtained from M-Z-B type inequality. And M-Z-B type inequality is proved for a wide class of random variables. Hence Rosenthal type inequalities for some classes of random variables are obtained.     

On some congruence with application to exponential sums

We will study the solution of a congruence,x ≡g ^1/2)ωg(2 ⁿ ) mod 2 ⁿ , depending on the integersg andn, where ω _g (2 ⁿ ) denotes the order ofg modulo 2 ⁿ . Moreover, we introduce an application of the above result to the study of an estimation of exponential sums.

Components identification based method for box constrained variational inequality problems with almost linear functions

We present a method for solving a class of box constrained variational inequality problems. The method makes use of a procedure for identifying some components of the solution by bounding it with an interval vector. It is shown that the method computes an approximate solution of the variational inequality problem by solving at most n reduced systems of equations, where n is the dimension of the problem. Among those systems, only the one of the smallest dimension has to be solved with high accuracy. The others are solved merely to identify some components of the solution, and so the computation can be done under a very mild requirement of accuracy. Numerical results are presented for the obstacle problem, to illustrate the efficiency of the method. AMS subject classification (2000)  90C33, 65G30, 65K10

Regularized gap functions for nonsmooth variational inequality problems

Under the condition that the involved function F is locally Lipschitz, but not necessarily differentiable, we investigate the regularized gap function defined by a generalized distance function for the variational inequality problem (VIP). First, we compute exactly the Clarke-Rockafellar directional derivatives of the regularized gap functions (and of some modified ones). Second, using these results, we show that, under the strongly monotonicity assumption, the regularized gap functions have fractional exponent error bounds, and thereby we provide an algorithm of Armijo type to solve the VIP.     

Existence of extremal functions for a Hardy-Sobolev inequality

We present the best constant and the extremal functions for an Improved Hardy-Sobolev inequality. We prove that, under a proper transformation, this inequality is equivalent to the Sobolev inequality in RN.     

Distribution of the maxima of random Takagi functions

This paper concerns the maximum value and the set of maximum points of a random version of Takagi’s continuous, nowhere differentiable function. Let F(x):=∑ _n=1^∞ ε _n ϕ(2 ⁿ⁻¹ x), x ∈ R, where ɛ ₁, ɛ ₂, ... are independent, identically distributed random variables taking values in {−1, 1}, and ϕ is the “tent map” defined by ϕ(x) = 2 dist (x, Z). Let p:= P (ɛ ₁ = 1), M:= max {F(x): x ∈ R}, and := {x ∈ [0, 1): F(x) = M}. An explicit expression for M is given in terms of the sequence {ɛ _n }, and it is shown that the probability distribution μ of M is purely atomic if p < , and is singular continuous if p ≧ . In the latter case, the Hausdorff dimension and the multifractal spectrum of μ are determined. It is shown further that the set is finite almost surely if p < , and is topologically equivalent to a Cantor set almost surely if p ≧ . The distribution of the cardinality of is determined in the first case, and the almost-sure Hausdorff dimension of is shown to be (2p − 1)/2p in the second case. The distribution of the leftmost point of is also given. Finally, some of the results are extended to the more general functions Σa ^{n − 1} ɛ _n ϕ(2 ^{n − 1} x), where 0 < a < 1.

Support-type properties of convex functions of higher order and Hadamard-type inequalities

It is well known that every convex function (where I⊂R is an interval) admits an affine support at every interior point of I (i.e. for any x₀∈IntI there exists an affine function such that a(x₀)=f(x₀) and a?f on I). Convex functions of higher order (precisely of an odd order) have a similar property: they are supported by the polynomials of degree no greater than the order of convexity. In this paper the attaching method is developed. It is applied to obtain the general result—Theorem 2, from which the mentioned above support theorem and some related properties of convex functions of higher (both odd and even) order are derived. They are applied to obtain some known and new Hadamard-type inequalities between the quadrature operators and the integral approximated by them. It is also shown that the error bounds of quadrature rules follow by inequalities of this kind.     

An extremal function for the Chang-Marshall inequality over the Beurling functions

S.-Y. A. Chang and D. E. Marshall showed that the functional is bounded on the unit ball of the space of analytic functions in the unit disk with and Dirichlet integral not exceeding one. Andreev and Matheson conjectured that the identity function is a global maximum on for the functional . We prove that attains its maximum at over a subset of determined by kernel functions, which provides a positive answer to a conjecture of Cima and Matheson.

     

Remarks on a main inequality for several special functions

It is shown that the main inequality for several special functions derived in [Masjed-Jamei M. A main inequality for several special functions. Comput Math Appl. 2010;60:1280–1289] can be put in a concise form, and that the main inequalities of the first kind Bessel function, Laplace and Fourier transforms are not valid as presented in the aforementioned paper. To provide alternative inequalities, we give a generalization, being in some cases an improvement, of the Cauchy–Bunyakovsky–Schwarz inequality which can be applied to real functions not necessarily of constant sign. The corresponding discrete inequality is also obtained, which we use to improve the inequalities of the Riemann zeta and the generalized Hurwitz–Lerch zeta functions. Finally, from the main concise inequality, we derive a Turán-type inequality.     

Sensitivity analysis of gap functions for vector variational inequality via coderivatives

The aim of this article is to investigate codifferential properties of a class of set-valued maps and gap function involving vector variational inequality. Relationships between their coderivatives are discussed. Formulae for computing coderivatives of the gap function are established. Optimality conditions of solutions for vector variational inequalities are obtained. The finite-dimensional cases are also discussed.
