In this paper, we discuss the Schur convexity, Schur geometric convexity and Schur harmonic convexity of the generalized geometric Bonferroni mean. Some inequalities related to the generalized geometric Bonferroni mean are established to illustrate the applications of the obtained results.

We describe a Jordan-algebraic version of E. Lieb convexity inequalities. A joint convexity of Jordan-algebraic version of quantum entropy is proven. A version of noncommutative Bernstein inequality is proven as an application of one of convexity inequalities. A spectral theory on semi-simple complex algebras is used as a tool to prove the convexity results. Possible applications to optimizatio...

After a brief introduction on gradient flows in metric spaces and on geodesically convex functionals, we give an account of the proof (following the outline of [3, 7]) of the existence and uniqueness of the gradient flow of the Entropy in the space of Borel probability measures over a compact geodesic metric space with Ricci curvature bounded from below.

This paper, the second of a series, deals with the function space of all smooth Kähler metrics in any given closed complex manifold M in a fixed cohomology class. This function space is equipped with a pre-Hilbert manifold structure introduced by T. Mabuchi [10], where he also showed formally it has non-positive curvature. The previous result of the second author [4] showed that the space is a ...

The d-convex sets in a metric space are those subsets which include the metric interval between any two of its elements. Weak modularity is a certain interval property for triples of points. The d-convexity of a discrete weakly modular space X coincides with the geodesic convexity of the graph formed by the two-point intervals in X. The Helly number of such a space X turns out to be the same as...

The range of a payoff function in an n-player finite strategic game is investigated using a novel approach, the notion of extreme points of a nonconvex set. A basic structural characteristic of a noncooperative payoff region is that any subregion must be non-strictly convex if it contains a relative neighborhood of a boundary point of the noncooperative payoff region. This can be proved efficie...

Photosynthesis in the intermediate light range is most efficient when the convexity of the photosynthetic light-response curve is high. Factors determining the convexity were examined for intact leaves using Salix sp. and for a plant cell culture using the green microalga Coccomyxa sp. It was found that the leaf had lower convexity than diluted plant cells because the light gradient through the...

Comparative convexity is a generalization of convexity relying on abstract notions of means. We define the (skew) Jensen divergence and the Jensen diversity from the viewpoint of comparative convexity, and show how to obtain the generalized Bregman divergences as limit cases of skewed Jensen divergences. In particular, we report explicit formula of these generalized Bregman divergences when con...
