Remarks on recent fixed point theorems.
Some properties of strongly Wright-convex functions are presented. In particular it is shown that a function f:D → ℝ, where D is an open convex subset of an inner product space X, is strongly Wright-convex with modulus c if and only if it can be represented in the form f(x) = g(x)+a(x)+c||x||², x ∈ D, where g:D → ℝ is a convex function and a:X → ℝ is an additive function. A characterization of inner product spaces by strongly Wright-convex functions is also given.
We present comparison theorems for the weighted quasi-arithmetic means and for weighted Bajraktarević means without supposing in advance that the weights are the same.
We prove a stochastic formula for the Gaussian relative entropy in the spirit of Borell’s formula for the Laplace transform. As an application, we give simple proofs of a number of functional inequalities.
Strengthened forms of Ling's representation theorem concerning a class of continuous associative functions are given: Firstly the monotonicity condition is removed. Then the associativity condition is replaced by the power associativity.
We give a systematic discussion of the relation between q-difference equations which are conditionally -invariant and subsingular vectors of Verma modules over (the Drinfeld-Jimbo q-deformation of a semisimple Lie algebra over ℂg or ℝ). We treat in detail the cases of the conformal algebra, = su(2,2), and its complexification, = sl(4). The conditionally invariant equations are the q-deformed d’Alembert equation and a new equation arising from a subsingular vector proposed by Bernstein-Gel’fand-Gel’fand....
