From the Prékopa-Leindler inequality to modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2007
We develop in this paper an improvement of the method given by S. Bobkov and M. Ledoux. Using the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality, we prove a modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality adapted for all measures on $\dR^n$, with a strictly convex and super-linear potential.

Caring Futures: Australian Attitudes About the Desirability of Care Work

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid increasing public and policy attention on the care and support sector, which millions of Australians rely upon for essential services, care workers continue to advocate for better pay and fairer conditions. This article draws on the concepts of recognition, value and social distribution from feminist ethics of care scholarship to explore ...

Novel inequalities for subadditive functions via tempered fractional integrals and their numerical investigations

open access: yesAIMS Mathematics
In this paper, we proposed some new integral inequalities for subadditive functions and the product of subadditive functions. Additionally, a novel integral identity was established and a number of inequalities of the Hermite-Hadamard type for ...

Functional affine-isoperimetry and an inverse logarithmic Sobolev inequality [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2011
We give a functional version of the affine isoperimetric inequality for log-concave functions which may be interpreted as an inverse form of a logarithmic Sobolev inequality inequality for entropy. A linearization of this inequality gives an inverse inequality to the Poincar'e inequality for the Gaussian measure.

Philanthropy and Indigenous Initiatives: Insights From Australian Donors

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper draws on a survey and interview data, collected from a group of 180 donors who made monetary gifts to an Australian higher education institution, to better understand what drives individuals and organisations to donate to Indigenous initiatives.

An improved energy‐efficient driving strategy for routes with various gradients and speed limits

open access: yesIET Intelligent Transport Systems
With the increasing concerns about railway energy efficiency, two typical driving strategies have been used in actual train operation. One includes a sequence of full power traction, cruising, coasting, and full braking (CC).

Log-Sobolev, isoperimetry and transport inequalities on graphs [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
In this paper, we study some functional inequalities (such as Poincar\'e inequalities, logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, generalized Cheeger isoperimetric inequalities, transportation-information inequalities and transportation-entropy inequalities) for reversible nearest-neighbor Markov processes on a connected finite graph by means of (random) path ...
