Statistical properties of entropy production derived from fluctuation theorems

open access: yes, 2010
Several implications of well-known fluctuation theorems, on the statistical properties of the entropy production, are studied using various approaches. We begin by deriving a tight lower bound on the variance of the entropy production for a given mean of

On Logarithmic Convexity for Differences of Power Means

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2008
We proved a new and precise inequality between the differences of power means. As a consequence, an improvement of Jensen's inequality and a converse of Holder's inequality are obtained.

An interpolation of Jensen's inequality and its applications to mean inequalities

open access: yes, 2018
In this paper, we show operator versions of the inequality due to Cho, Matić and Pečarić in connection to Jensen’s inequality for convex functions. As applications, we obtain an interpolation of the weighted arithmetic-geometric mean inequality for the ...

Functions Like Convex Functions

open access: yesJournal of Function Spaces, 2015
The paper deals with convex sets, functions satisfying the global convexity property, and positive linear functionals. Jensen's type inequalities can be obtained by using convex combinations with the common center. Following the idea of the common center,

New bounds for Shannon, Relative and Mandelbrot entropies via Hermite interpolating polynomial

open access: yesDemonstratio Mathematica, 2018
To procure inequalities for divergences between probability distributions, Jensen’s inequality is the key to success. Shannon, Relative and Zipf-Mandelbrot entropies have many applications in many applied sciences, such as, in information theory, biology
