Aug 25, 2015 at 23:50 comment added Marek Adamczyk Ok, that will not work. When we take a lot lot of isolated vertices with $a_v=1$ with small $\gamma_v$, then the LHS essentially becomes $e^\lambda$
Aug 25, 2015 at 23:27 comment added Marek Adamczyk Now, if $a_v = 0$, then the exponent with decrease in the system plus the gain is clearly less than 1. Therefore, one can maybe argue that the expected value of the $E \exp( -(e^\lambda-1)decrease + \lambda \cdot gain)$ will be bigger if we would condition on choosing only $v$-s for which $a_v=1$. This expectation with conditioning may be easier to handle.
Aug 25, 2015 at 23:27 comment added Marek Adamczyk Thank you Fedor for your help. From the case of $k=1$ it seems like we can drop the assumption of $\sum \gamma_v = 1$, and we can substitute it with $\sum \gamma_v \leq 1$. Also in place of integer $k$ we can just take the sum $\sum \gamma_v$. With this maybe the following idea from probabilistic interpretation will be helpful plus your remark that only 0-1 $a$-s are important: if we pick $\gamma_v$ with probability $\gamma_v/\sum \gamma_v$, then $a_v$ is the gain we collect, and $\sum_{u\in \delta(f)} a_u\gamma_u$ is the decrease in the system.
Aug 25, 2015 at 17:59 comment added Fedor Petrov Alas, it becomes false. But maybe this could be modified.
Aug 25, 2015 at 17:24 comment added Fedor Petrov Maybe, it makes sense to estimate $\gamma e^{\lambda a}\leq \gamma-1+e^{\gamma a (e^{\lambda}-1)}$ in each summand. At least it becomes more pretty, though maybe false.
Aug 25, 2015 at 15:11 comment added Marek Adamczyk Good point, can it be combined with the argument below?

Aug 25, 2015 at 15:06 comment added Fedor Petrov LHS is convex in any of variables $a_v$, hence it suffices to take $a_v\in \{0,1\}$

Aug 25, 2015 at 14:22 comment added Marek Adamczyk Yes, the neighbors of $v$.
Aug 25, 2015 at 14:17 comment added Steve Huntsman What is $\delta(v)$? Is it the set of vertices adjacent to $v$?
