A Square Function Inequality

A Remark on a Norm Inequality for Square Matrices

Square Inequality and Strong Order Relation

It is well-known that for Hilbert space linear operators 0 ≤ A and 0 ≤ C, inequality C ≤ A does not imply C ≤ A. We introduce a strong order relation 0 ≤ B≪ A, which guarantees that C ≤ BAB for all 0 ≤ C ≤ B, and that C ≤ A when B commutes with A. Connections of this approach with the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality of Bhatia–Kittaneh as well as the Kantorovich constant of A are mentioned.

Equivalence of the Poincaré inequality with a transport-chi-square inequality in dimension one

In this paper, we prove that, in dimension one, the Poincaré inequality is equivalent to a new transport-chi-square inequality linking the square of the quadratic Wasserstein distance with the chi-square pseudo-distance. We also check tensorization of this transport-chi-square inequality. For q ≥ 1, the Wasserstein distance with index q between two probability measures µ and ν on R d is denoted...

The Intrinsic Square Function

We show that the Lusin area function and essentially all of its realvariable generalizations are pointwise dominated by an “intrinsic” square function, and that this latter function is, for all practical purposes, no larger than a “generic” square function. 0. Introduction. The Lusin area (or “square”) function is a familiar object. If f : R 7→ R is such that u(x, y) ≡ Py ∗ f(x), the Poisson in...

Steganographic strategies for a square distortion function

Recent results on the information theory of steganography suggest, and under some conditions prove, that the detectability of payload is proportional to the square of the number of changes caused by the embedding. Assuming that result in general, this paper examines the implications for an embedder when a payload is to be spread amongst multiple cover objects. A number of variants are considere...
