Majorization of sequences, sharp vector Khinchin inequalities, and bisubharmonic functions

Albert Baernstein IIRobert C. Culverhouse — 2002

Studia Mathematica

Let X = i = 1 k a i U i , Y = i = 1 k b i U i , where the U i are independent random vectors, each uniformly distributed on the unit sphere in ℝⁿ, and a i , b i are real constants. We prove that if b ² i is majorized by a ² i in the sense of Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya, and if Φ: ℝⁿ → ℝ is continuous and bisubharmonic, then EΦ(X) ≤ EΦ(Y). Consequences include most of the known sharp L ² - L p Khinchin inequalities for sums of the form X. For radial Φ, bisubharmonicity is necessary as well as sufficient for the majorization inequality to always hold. Counterparts...

On Hölder regularity for elliptic equations of non-divergence type in the plane

Albert Baernstein IILeonid V. Kovalev — 2005

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

This paper is concerned with strong solutions of uniformly elliptic equations of non-divergence type in the plane. First, we use the notion of quasiregular gradient mappings to improve Morrey’s theorem on the Hölder continuity of gradients of solutions. Then we show that the Gilbarg-Serrin equation does not produce the optimal Hölder exponent in the considered class of equations. Finally, we propose a conjecture for the best possible exponent and prove it under an additional restriction.
