Limiting Sobolev inequalities for vector fields and canceling linear differential operators

Jean Van Schaftingen (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The estimate D k - 1 u L n / ( n - 1 ) A ( D ) u L 1 is shown to hold if and only if A ( D ) is elliptic and canceling. Here A ( D ) is a homogeneous linear differential operator A ( D ) of order k on n from a vector space V to a vector space E . The operator A ( D ) is defined to be canceling if ξ n { 0 } A ( ξ ) [ V ] = { 0 } . This result implies in particular the classical Gagliardo–Nirenberg–Sobolev inequality, the Korn–Sobolev inequality and Hodge–Sobolev estimates for differential forms due to J. Bourgain and H. Brezis. In the proof, the class of cocanceling homogeneous linear differential...

Matchings and the variance of Lipschitz functions

Franck Barthe, Neil O'Connell (2009)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We are interested in the rate function of the moderate deviation principle for the two-sample matching problem. This is related to the determination of 1-Lipschitz functions with maximal variance. We give an exact solution for random variables which have normal law, or are uniformly distributed on the Euclidean ball.

Modified log-Sobolev inequalities for convex functions on the real line. Sufficient conditions

Radosław Adamczak, Michał Strzelecki (2015)

Studia Mathematica

We provide a mild sufficient condition for a probability measure on the real line to satisfy a modified log-Sobolev inequality for convex functions, interpolating between the classical log-Sobolev inequality and a Bobkov-Ledoux type inequality. As a consequence we obtain dimension-free two-level concentration results for convex functions of independent random variables with sufficiently regular tail decay. We also provide a link between modified log-Sobolev inequalities...

Moduli of smoothness of functions and their derivatives

Z. Ditzian, S. Tikhonov (2007)

Studia Mathematica

Relations between moduli of smoothness of the derivatives of a function and those of the function itself are investigated. The results are for L p ( T ) and L p [ - 1 , 1 ] for 0 < p < ∞ using the moduli of smoothness ω r ( f , t ) p and ω φ r ( f , t ) p respectively.
