Divergence for s-concave and log concave functions
نویسنده
چکیده
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 valuation property. Applications are given in the theory of convex bodies.

Mixed f - divergence and inequalities for log concave functions ∗
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 Kull...
متن کاملAPPROXIMATION AND ESTIMATION OF s-CONCAVE DENSITIES VIA RÉNYI DIVERGENCES.
In this paper, we study the approximation and estimation of s-concave densities via Rényi divergence. We first show that the approximation of a probability measure Q by an s-concave density exists and is unique via the procedure of minimizing a divergence functional proposed by [Ann. Statist.38 (2010) 2998-3027] if and only if Q admits full-dimensional support and a first moment. We also show c...
متن کاملExistence and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for $p$-Laplacian system with nonlinearities of concave-convex type and sign-changing weight functions
This paper is concerned with the existence of multiple positive solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system involving concave-convex nonlinearities and sign-changing weight functions. With the help of the Nehari manifold and Palais-Smale condition, we prove that the system has at least two nontrivial positive solutions, when the pair of parameters $(lambda,mu)$ belongs to a c...
متن کاملBi-concave Functions Defined by Al-Oboudi Differential Operator
The purpose of the present paper is to introduce a class $D_{Sigma ;delta }^{n}C_{0}(alpha )$ of bi-concave functions defined by Al-Oboudi differential operator. We find estimates on the Taylor-Maclaurin coefficients $leftvert a_{2}rightvert $ and $leftvert a_{3}rightvert$ for functions in this class. Several consequences of these results are also pointed out in the form of corollaries.
متن کاملThe Sugeno fuzzy integral of concave functions
The fuzzy integrals are a kind of fuzzy measures acting on fuzzy sets. They can be viewed as an average membershipvalue of fuzzy sets. The value of the fuzzy integral in a decision making environment where uncertainty is presenthas been well established. Most of the integral inequalities studied in the fuzzy integration context normally considerconditions such as monotonicity or comonotonicity....
