Equivalence of the spectral gap, exponential integrability of hitting times and Lyapunov conditions is well known. We give here the correspondence (with quantitative results) for reversible diffusion processes. As a consequence, we generalize results of Bobkov in the one dimensional case on the value of the Poincaré constant for log-concave measures to superlinear potentials. Finally, we study various functional inequalities under different hitting times integrability conditions (polynomial,…)....
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.
In 1978 P. M. Gruber (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 245 (1978), 263–277) imposed the following general problem or Ulam type problem: “Suppose a mathematical object satisfies a certain property approximately. Is it then possible to approximate this objects by objects, satisfying the property exactly?" The afore-mentioned problem of P. M. Gruber is more general than the following problem imposed by S. M. Ulam in 1940 (Intersci, Publ., Inc., New York 1960): “Give conditions in order for a linear mapping...
In 1940 S. M. Ulam (Intersci. Publ., Inc., New York 1960) imposed at the University of Wisconsin the problem: “Give conditions in order for a linear mapping near an approximately linear mapping to exist”. According to P. M. Gruber (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 245 (1978), 263–277) the afore-mentioned problem of S. M. Ulam belongs to the following general problem or Ulam type problem: “Suppose a mathematical object satisfies a certain property approximately. Is it then possible to approximate this objects...
The paper is devoted to some functional inequalities related to the exponential mapping.
