Equivalence (allowing for convex combinations) of microcanonical, canonical and grandcanonical ensembles for states of classical systems is established under very mild assumptions on the limiting state. We introduce the notion of conditional equilibrium (C.E.), a property of states of infinite systems which characterizes convex combinations of limits of microcanonical ensembles. It is shown tha...

We find the greatest values $alpha_{1} $ and $alpha_{2} $, and the least values $beta_{1} $ and $beta_{2} $ such that the inequalities $alpha_{1} C(a,b)+(1-alpha_{1} )H(a,b)

If X is a vector space and E is a subset of X, the convex hull of E is defined to be the intersection of all convex sets containing E, and is denoted by co(E). One checks that the convex hull of E is equal to the set of all finite convex combinations of elements of E. If X is a topological vector space, the closed convex hull of E is the intersection of all closed convex sets containing E, and ...

This is a review paper on some new inequalities for convex functions of one and several variables. The most important result presented for convex functions of one variable is the extension of Jensen’s inequality to affine combinations. The most interesting results presented for convex functions of several variables refer to inequalities concerning simplexes and its cones. Mathematics subject cl...
