Méthodes de réalisation de produit scalaire et de problème de moments avec maximisation d'entropie

Valerie Girardin (1997)

Studia Mathematica

We develop several methods of realization of scalar product and generalized moment problems. Constructions are made by use of a Hilbertian method or a fixed point method. The constructed solutions are rational fractions and exponentials of polynomials. They are connected to entropy maximization. We give the general form of the maximizing solution. We show how it is deduced from the maximizing solution of the algebraic moment problem.

Metric Characterizations of Superreflexivity in Terms of Word Hyperbolic Groups and Finite Graphs

Mikhail Ostrovskii (2014)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

We show that superreflexivity can be characterized in terms of bilipschitz embeddability of word hyperbolic groups.We compare characterizations of superrefiexivity in terms of diamond graphs and binary trees.We show that there exist sequences of series-parallel graphs of increasing topological complexitywhich admit uniformly bilipschitz embeddings into a Hilbert space, and thus do not characterize superrefiexivity.

Metric ellipses in Minkowski planes.

Wu Senlin, Ji Donghai, Javier Alonso (2005)

Extracta Mathematicae

An ellipse in R2 can be defined as the locus of points for which the sum of the Euclidean distances from the two foci is constant. In this paper we will look at the sets that are obtained by considering in the above definition distances induced by arbitrary norms.

Metric enrichment, finite generation, and the path coreflection

Alexandru Chirvasitu (2024)

Archivum Mathematicum

We prove a number of results involving categories enriched over CMet, the category of complete metric spaces with possibly infinite distances. The category CPMet of path complete metric spaces is locally 1 -presentable, closed monoidal, and coreflective in CMet. We also prove that the category CCMet of convex complete metric spaces is not closed monoidal and characterize the isometry- 0 -generated objects in CMet, CPMet and CCMet, answering questions by Di Liberti and Rosický. Other results include...

Metric entropy of convex hulls in Hilbert spaces

Wenbo Li, Werner Linde (2000)

Studia Mathematica

Let T be a precompact subset of a Hilbert space. We estimate the metric entropy of co(T), the convex hull of T, by quantities originating in the theory of majorizing measures. In a similar way, estimates of the Gelfand width are provided. As an application we get upper bounds for the entropy of co(T), T = t 1 , t 2 , . . . , | | t j | | a j , by functions of the a j ’s only. This partially answers a question raised by K. Ball and A. Pajor (cf. [1]). Our estimates turn out to be optimal in the case of slowly decreasing sequences ( a j ) j = 1 .

Metric Entropy of Homogeneous Spaces

Stanisław Szarek (1998)

Banach Center Publications

For a precompact subset K of a metric space and ε > 0, the covering number N(K,ε) is defined as the smallest number of balls of radius ε whose union covers K. Knowledge of the metric entropy, i.e., the asymptotic behaviour of covering numbers for (families of) metric spaces is important in many areas of mathematics (geometry, functional analysis, probability, coding theory, to name a few). In this paper we give asymptotically correct estimates for covering numbers for a large class of homogeneous...

Metric projections and best approximants in Bochner-Orlicz spaces.

Ryszard Pluciennik, Yuwen Wang (1994)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

In the first section of this paper there are given criteria for strict convexity and smoothness of the Bochner-Orlicz space with the Orlicz norm as well as the Luxemburg norm. In the second one that geometrical properties are applied to the characterization of metric projections and zero mean valued best approximants to Bochner-Orlicz spaces.
