On fine properties of mixtures with respect to concentration of measure and Sobolev type inequalities

Djalil Chafaï, Florent Malrieu (2010)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Mixtures are convex combinations of laws. Despite this simple definition, a mixture can be far more subtle than its mixed components. For instance, mixing gaussian laws may produce a potential with multiple deep wells. We study in the present work fine properties of mixtures with respect to concentration of measure and Sobolev type functional inequalities. We provide sharp Laplace bounds for Lipschitz functions in the case of generic mixtures, involving a transportation cost diameter of the mixed...

On finitely generated closed ideals in H ( D )

Jean Bourgain (1985)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Assume f 1 , ... , f N a finite set of functions in H ( D ) , the space of bounded analytic functions on the open unit disc. We give a sufficient condition on a function f in H ( D ) to belong to the norm-closure of the ideal I ( f 1 , ... , f N ) generated by f 1 , ... , f N , namely the property | f ( z ) | α ( | f 1 ( z ) | + ... + | f N ( z ) | ) for z D for some function α : R + R + satisfying lim t 0 α ( t ) / t = 0 . The main feature in the proof is an improvement in the contour-construction appearing in L. Carleson’s solution of the corona-problem. It is also shown that the property | f ( z ) | C max 1 j N | f j ( z ) | for z D for some constant C , does not necessary imply that f is...

On Fréchet differentiability of convex functions on Banach spaces

Wee-Kee Tang (1995)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Equivalent conditions for the separability of the range of the subdifferential of a given convex Lipschitz function f defined on a separable Banach space are studied. The conditions are in terms of a majorization of f by a C 1 -smooth function, separability of the boundary for f or an approximation of f by Fréchet smooth convex functions.
