Subadditive functions and partial converses of Minkowski's and Mulholland's inequalities

J. Matkowski, T. Świątkowski (1993)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let ϕ be an arbitrary bijection of + . We prove that if the two-place function ϕ - 1 [ ϕ ( s ) + ϕ ( t ) ] is subadditive in + 2 then ϕ must be a convex homeomorphism of + . This is a partial converse of Mulholland’s inequality. Some new properties of subadditive bijections of + are also given. We apply the above results to obtain several converses of Minkowski’s inequality.

Sur les paires d'équations pré-Schröder et leur équivalence

Józef Kalinowski (2004)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Pairs of functional pre-Schröder equations (Sₙ) are considered. We show that under some assumptions the system of two equations (S₃), (Sₙ) for some n ≥ 4 is equivalent to the system of all equations (Sₙ) for n ≥ 2. The results answer a question of Gy. Targonski [5] in a particular case.

The structure of disjoint iteration groups on the circle

Krzysztof Ciepliński (2004)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The aim of the paper is to investigate the structure of disjoint iteration groups on the unit circle 𝕊 1 , that is, families = { F v 𝕊 1 𝕊 1 v V } of homeomorphisms such that F v 1 F v 2 = F v 1 + v 2 , v 1 , v 2 V , and each F v either is the identity mapping or has no fixed point ( ( V , + ) is an arbitrary 2 -divisible nontrivial (i.e., c a r d V > 1 ) abelian group).

Weighted entropies

Bruce Ebanks (2010)

Open Mathematics

We present an axiomatic characterization of entropies with properties of branching, continuity, and weighted additivity. We deliberately do not assume that the entropies are symmetric. The resulting entropies are generalizations of the entropies of degree α, including the Shannon entropy as the case α = 1. Such “weighted” entropies have potential applications to the “utility of gambling” problem.
