On the infimal convolution of two norms on $\mathbb R^n$

$\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb R}$For natural $n$, $a\in\R^n$, and real $t>0$, let \begin{equation*} K:=K_{n,t}(a):=\inf_{x\in\R^n}(\|a-x\|_2+t\|x\|_1), \end{equation*} \begin{equation*} M:=M_{n,...

Monotone likelihood ratio of densities based on power function

Given $p,\phi,\theta \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $p>2$ and $0 \le \phi,\theta\le \pi/2$ define the density function: $$f(\phi;\theta) = \mbox{$\Large\frac{1}{p B\big(\hspace{-1pt}\frac{3}{2},\frac{p+...
