Remarks on strongly Wright-convex functions

Nelson Merentes, Kazimierz Nikodem, Sergio Rivas (2011)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

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.

Representation formula for the entropy and functional inequalities

Joseph Lehec (2013)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

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.
