Angles, Majorization, Wielandt Inequality and Applications [PDF]

, 2013
In this thesis we revisit two classical definitions of angle in an inner product space: real-part angle and Hermitian angle. Special attention is paid to Krein’s inequality and its analogue.

Majorization-type inequalities for (m, M, ψ)-convex functions with applications

Open Mathematics
In 2001, S. S. Dragomir introduced a generalized class of convexity, the so-called (m,M,ψ)\left(m,M,\psi )-convex functions, which covers many other classes of convexity.

A new characterization of the holographic entropy cone

SciPost Physics
Entanglement entropies computed using the holographic Ryu-Takayanagi formula are known to obey an infinite set of linear inequalities, which define the so-called RT entropy cone.

Majorization and inequalities among complete homogeneous symmetric functions

European Journal of Combinatorics
Inequalities among symmetric functions are fundamental in various branches of mathematics, thus motivating a systematic study of their structure. Majorization has been shown to characterize inequalities among commonly used symmetric functions, except for complete homogeneous symmetric functions (shortened as CHs). In 2011, Cuttler, Greene, and Skandera

Measuring Inequality in CIS Countries: Theory and Empirics [PDF]

Distributions of many variables of interest in developed economic and financial markets, including income and wealth, exhibit heavy tails as in the case of Pareto or power laws.

The optimization for the inequalities of power means

Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2006
Let be the th power mean of a sequence of positive real numbers, where , and . In this paper, we will state the important background and meaning of the inequality ; a necessary and sufficient condition and another interesting sufficient condition that

Rank reduction of correlation matrices by majorization [PDF]

In this paper a novel method is developed for the problem of finding a low-rank correlation matrix nearest to a given correlation matrix. The method is based on majorization and therefore it is globally convergent. The method is computationally efficient,

Do redistributive schemes reduce inequality between individuals? [PDF]

Redistribution schemes (taxes or benefits) are generally performed at the household level. The issue is to know whether intra-household inequality magnifies or hampers the redistributive effect of the transfers, when the policy-maker focuses on the ...
