Jessen's functional, its properties and applications

Analele Stiintifice ale Universitatii Ovidius Constanta: Seria Matematica, 2012
In this paper we consider Jessen's functional, defined by means of a positive isotonic linear functional, and investigate its properties. Derived results are then applied to weighted generalized power means, which yields extensions of some recent results,

Power means of probability measures and Ando-Hiai inequality

, 2018
Let $ $ be a probability measure of compact support on the set $\mathbb{P}_n$ of all positive definite matrices, let $t\in(0,1]$, and let $P_t( )$ be the unique positive solution of $X=\int_{\mathbb{P}_n}X\sharp_t Z d (Z)$. In this paper, we show that $$ P_t( )\leq I\quad \Longrightarrow\quad P_{\frac{t}{p}}( )\leq P_t( )$$ for every $p\geq1 ...

Scaled evolution of the reversed power mean inequalities

Filomat
Motivated by the Hanin inequality, in this paper we study a class of reversed power mean inequalities that does not depend on a weight function. We first give the reverse of the basic power mean inequality describing the monotonic behavior of means. Then, we establish the scaled, i.e. two-parametric versions of the obtained inequalities. By scaling, we

Testing instrument validity for LATE identification based on inequality moment constraints [PDF]

This paper proposes bootstrap tests for the validity of instrumental variables (IV) in just identified treatment effect models with endogeneity. We demonstrate that the IV assumptions required for the identification of the local average treatment effect (
