From the Prékopa-Leindler inequality to modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality

Ivan Gentil (2008)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We develop in this paper an improvement of the method given by S. Bobkov and M. Ledoux in [BL00]. Using the Prékopa-Leindler inequality, we prove a modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality adapted for all measures on n , with a strictly convex and super-linear potential. This inequality implies modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality, developed in [GGM05, GGM07], for all uniformly strictly convex potential as well as the Euclidean logarithmic Sobolev inequality.

Functional calculus for a class of unbounded linear operators on some non-archimedean Banach spaces

Dodzi Attimu, Toka Diagana (2009)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

This paper is mainly concerned with extensions of the so-called Vishik functional calculus for analytic bounded linear operators to a class of unbounded linear operators on c 0 . For that, our first task consists of introducing a new class of linear operators denoted W ( c 0 ( J , ω , 𝕂 ) ) and next we make extensive use of such a new class along with the concept of convergence in the sense of resolvents to construct a functional calculus for a large class of unbounded linear operators.

Functional inequalities and uniqueness of the Gibbs measure — from log-Sobolev to Poincaré

Pierre-André Zitt (2008)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In a statistical mechanics model with unbounded spins, we prove uniqueness of the Gibbs measure under various assumptions on finite volume functional inequalities. We follow Royer's approach (Royer, 1999) and obtain uniqueness by showing convergence properties of a Glauber-Langevin dynamics. The result was known when the measures on the box [-n,n]d (with free boundary conditions) satisfied the same logarithmic Sobolev inequality. We generalize this in two directions: either the constants may be...

Functions characterized by images of sets

Krzysztof Ciesielski, Dikran Dikrajan, Stephen Watson (1998)

Colloquium Mathematicae

For non-empty topological spaces X and Y and arbitrary families 𝒜 𝒫 ( X ) and 𝒫 ( Y ) we put 𝒞 𝒜 , =f ∈ Y X : (∀ A ∈ 𝒜 )(f[A] ∈ ) . We examine which classes of functions Y X can be represented as 𝒞 𝒜 , . We are mainly interested in the case when = 𝒞 ( X , Y ) is the class of all continuous functions from X into Y. We prove that for a non-discrete Tikhonov space X the class = 𝒞 (X,ℝ) is not equal to 𝒞 𝒜 , for any 𝒜 𝒫 ( X ) and 𝒫 (ℝ). Thus, 𝒞 (X,ℝ) cannot be characterized by images of sets. We also show that none of the following classes of...

Functions of Baire class one

Denny H. Leung, Wee-Kee Tang (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let K be a compact metric space. A real-valued function on K is said to be of Baire class one (Baire-1) if it is the pointwise limit of a sequence of continuous functions. We study two well known ordinal indices of Baire-1 functions, the oscillation index β and the convergence index γ. It is shown that these two indices are fully compatible in the following sense: a Baire-1 function f satisfies β ( f ) ω ξ · ω ξ for some countable ordinals ξ₁ and ξ₂ if and only if there exists a sequence (fₙ) of Baire-1 functions...

Functions of bounded variation on compact subsets of the plane

Brenden Ashton, Ian Doust (2005)

Studia Mathematica

A major obstacle in extending the theory of well-bounded operators to cover operators whose spectrum is not necessarily real has been the lack of a suitable variation norm applicable to functions defined on an arbitrary nonempty compact subset σ of the plane. In this paper we define a new Banach algebra BV(σ) of functions of bounded variation on such a set and show that the function-theoretic properties of this algebra make it better suited to applications in spectral theory than those used previously....

Functions of bounded variation, signed measures, and a general Koksma-Hlawka inequality

Christoph Aistleitner, Josef Dick (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

We prove a correspondence principle between multivariate functions of bounded variation in the sense of Hardy and Krause and signed measures of finite total variation, which allows us to obtain a simple proof of a generalized Koksma-Hlawka inequality for non-uniform measures. Applications of this inequality to importance sampling in Quasi-Monte Carlo integration and tractability theory are given. We also discuss the problem of transforming a low-discrepancy sequence with respect to the uniform measure...
