Mixed f - divergence and inequalities for log concave functions ∗

نویسنده

  • Elisabeth M. Werner
چکیده

Mixed f -divergences, a concept from information theory and statistics, measure the difference between multiple pairs of distributions. We introduce them for log concave functions and establish some of their properties. Among them are affine invariant vector entropy inequalities, like new Alexandrov-Fenchel type inequalities and an affine isoperimetric inequality for the vector form of the Kullback Leibler divergence for log concave functions. Special cases of f -divergences are mixed Lλ-affine surface areas for log concave functions. For those, we establish various affine isoperimetric inequalities as well as a vector Blaschke Santaló type inequality.

Divergence for s-concave and log concave functions

We prove new entropy inequalities for log concave and s-concave functions that strengthen and generalize recently established reverse log Sobolev and Poincaré inequalities for such functions. This leads naturally to the concept of f -divergence and, in particular, relative entropy for s-concave and log concave functions. We establish their basic properties, among them the affine invariant valua...

On multivariate Newton-like inequalities

We study multivariate entire functions and polynomials with non-negative coefficients. A class of Strongly Log-Concave entire functions, generalizingMinkowski volume polynomials, is introduced: an entire function f in m variables is called Strongly Log-Concave if the function (∂x1) c1 ...(∂xm) mf is either zero or log((∂x1) c1 ...(∂xm) mf) is concave on R + . We start with yet another point of ...

Stability results for some geometric inequalities and their functional versions ∗

The Blaschke Santaló inequality and the Lp affine isoperimetric inequalities are major inequalities in convex geometry and they have a wide range of applications. Functional versions of the Blaschke Santaló inequality have been established over the years through many contributions. More recently and ongoing, such functional versions have been established for the Lp affine isoperimetric inequali...

Mixed Integrals and Related Inequalities

In this paper we define an addition operation on the class of quasiconcave functions. While the new operation is similar to the well-known supconvolution, it has the property that it polarizes the Lebesgue integral. This allows us to define mixed integrals, which are the functional analogs of the classic mixed volumes. We extend various classic inequalities, such as the Brunn-Minkowski and the ...

Α-concave Functions and a Functional Extension of Mixed Volumes

Mixed volumes, which are the polarization of volume with respect to the Minkowski addition, are fundamental objects in convexity. In this note we announce the construction of mixed integrals, which are functional analogs of mixed volumes. We build a natural addition operation ⊕ on the class of quasi-concave functions, such that every class of α-concave functions is closed under ⊕. We then defin...
