On a Cauchy-Jensen functional inequality.
This is a part of a recent program by a number of authors to study information measures on open domain. In this series, this paper is devoted to the study of the functional equation (2) on an open domain. This functional equation is connected to the weighted entropy and weighted entropy of degree a.
The Shannon entropy has the sum form ∑f(pi) with f(x) = -x logx (x belonging to [0,1]). This together with the property of additivity leads to the 'sum' functional equation...
A continuous multifunction F:[a,b] → clb(Y) is *-concave if and only if the inclusion holds for every s,t ∈ [a,b], s < t.
K. Baron and Z. Kominek [2] have studied the functional inequality f(x+y) - f(x) - f(y) ≥ ϕ (x,y), x, y ∈ X, under the assumptions that X is a real linear space, ϕ is homogeneous with respect to the second variable and f satisfies certain regularity conditions. In particular, they have shown that ϕ is bilinear and symmetric and f has a representation of the form f(x) = ½ ϕ(x,x) + L(x) for x ∈ X, where L is a linear function. The purpose of the present...
