Lebesgue-stieltjes integral inequalities in several variables with retardation

The aim of this paper is to establish some new Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral inequalities inn independent variables with retardation which generalize and unify continuous and discrete inequalities of the Gronwall-Bellman-Bihari type inn independent variables.     

Some Inequalities for Superharmonic Functions on Graphs

An inequality for superharmonic functions on Riemannian manifolds due to S.Y. Cheng and S-T. Yau is adapted to the setting of graphs. A number of corollaries are discussed, including a Harnack inequality for graphs having at most quadratic growth and satisfying a certain connectedness condition.     

Bifractional inequalities and convex cones

In this paper we give a systematic study of a class of linear inequalities related to convex cones in linear spaces. In particular, Chebyshev and Andersson type inequalities are discussed. Some classical and new inequalities are derived from the results.     

Generalized Nash equilibrium problem, variational inequality and quasiconvexity

It is well known that the generalized Nash equilibrium problem, a model for multi-leader–follower games, can be reformulated as a quasivariational inequality. We show that, in fact, a reformulation in terms of a variational inequality can be obtained in the general setting of quasiconvex nondifferentiable decision functions. An existence result is deduced.     

Some Applications of a Polynomial Inequality to Global Optimization

In this paper, we use the Ehlich-Zeller-Gärtel inequality to derive an algorithm for finding the global minima of polynomials over hyperrectangles as well as to provide a bounding method for the branch-and-bound algorithm. The latter application of the inequality results in an improved algorithm which gives simultaneously a decreasing upper bound and an increasing lower bound for the global minimum at each iteration. The algorithm can be used also to find the Lipschitz constant of a polynomial.     

Local Realism and Conditional Probability

Emilio Santos has argued (Santos, Studies in History and Philosophy of Physics http: //arxiv-org/abs/quant-ph/0410193) that to date, no experiment has provided a loophole-free refutation of Bell’s inequalities. He believes that this provides strong evidence for the principle of local realism, and argues that we should reject this principle only if we have extremely strong evidence. However, recent work by Malley and Fine (Non-commuting observables and local realism, http: //arxiv-org/abs/quant-ph/0505016) appears to suggest that experiments refuting Bell’s inequalities could at most confirm that quantum mechanical quantities do not commute. They also suggest that experiments performed on a single system could refute local realism. In this paper, we develop a connection between the work of Malley and Fine and an argument by Bub from some years ago [Bub, The Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, Chapter VI(Reidel, Dodrecht,1974)]. We also argue that the appearance of conflict between Santos on the one hand and Malley and Fine on the other is a result of differences in the way they understand local realism.     

The optimal size of the exchange hole and reduction to one-particle Hamiltonians

We use the concept of the exchange hole introduced by Slater to bound the energy of atoms, molecules, and other systems interacting by Coulomb forces from below by one-particle Hamiltonians with an effective screening potential and an exchange hole around each electron. Interestingly enough the optimal size of the exchange hole is smaller than Slater proposed: the best lower bound is obtained when the exchange hole carries charge 1/2 instead of 1. To highlight the quality of our estimate we show that the Dirac exchange energy with a slightly different constant bounds the exchange–correlation energy from below, an estimate previously derived by Lieb and later improved by Lieb and Oxford.

Hardy-Hilbert型积分不等式的一个改进及其应用

In this paper,it is shown that Hardy-Hilbert's integral inequality with parameter is improved by means of a sharpening of Hlder's inequality.A new inequality is established as follows: (integral fromαto∞)(integral fromαto∞)(f(x)g(y)/(x y 2β))dxdy <(π/sin(π/p)){(integral fromαto∞)f~p(x)dx}~(1/p)·{(integral fromαto∞)g~q(x)dx}~(1/q)·(1-R)~m, where R=(S_p(F,h)-S_q(G,h))~2,m=min{1/p,1/q}.As application;an extension of Hardy-Littlewood's inequality is given.
