ABSTRACT
In this paper we provide sharp bounds for the Jensen divergence generated by different classes of functions including functions of bounded variation, absolutely continuous, Lipschitz continuous, convex functions and differentiable functions whose derivatives enjoy various properties as mentioned above. The bounds are expressed in terms of known and simpler divergence measures that are of importance in various applications such as the analysis of diversity as between and within populations and to cluster analysis.

The use of a metric to assess distance between probability densities is an important practical problem. In this work, a particular metric induced by an a-divergence is studied. The Hellinger metric can be interpreted as a particular case within the framework of generalized Tsallis divergences...

Let $\varphi _0$ and $\varphi _1$ be regular functions on the boundary $\partial D$ of the unit disk $D$ in $\mathbb {R}^2$, such that $\int _{0}^{2\pi }\varphi _1\,d\theta =0$ and $\int _{0}^{2\pi }\sin \theta (\varphi _1-\varphi _0)\,d\theta =0$. It is proved that there exist a linear...

We prove estimates for certain square functions of solutions to divergence form linear parabolic equations. The estimates are related to singularity and mutual absolute continuity of caloric measure with respect to surface measure of non-cylindrical domains. The square functions and the results...

GrÃ¼nwald-Marcinkiewicz type theorems with respect to barycentric Lagrange interpolation based on equidistant and Chebyshev node-sytems in [-1, 1] are proved. It turns out that the results are very similar to the ones known for the classical Lagrange interpolation.

The article discusses the developments in the field of mathematics. It focuses on the error terms for the Jensen's Inequality and Levinson's Inequality. It examines the claim that a function, f, defined on [a, b] is convex when for any x, y âˆˆ [a, b], f (tx + (1 - t)y) â‰¤ tf (x) + (1 -...

Let $( \mu,\Omega )$ be a probability measure space. We consider the so-called 'Jensen gap' for some classes of functions Ï†. Several new estimates and equalities are derived and compared with other results of this type. Especially the case when Ï† has a Taylor expansion is treated and...

In this paper, we investigate n-exponential convexity and log-convexity using the positive functional defined as the difference of the left-hand side and right-hand side of the inequality from (PeÄariÄ‡ and JaniÄ‡ in Facta Univ., Ser. Math. Inform. 3:39-42, ). We also give mean value...
