It was previously shown that $$H\ge cG,\tag{1}$$ where $c:=1/14334$, $$G:=E|X-Y|,\quad H:=E|X-Y|-\tfrac12\,E|X+Y-2Z|,$$ and $X,Y,Z$ are independent random variables with the same log-concave density. ...

The following question, somewhat edited here, was asked and then closed at The best bound of the integral of a nondecreasing real function in a closed interval. Let $F\colon[0,1]\to[0,1]$ be a ...

Imagine a probability density function $f(x)$, defined for positive $x$, and let's note its $n$th non-centred moment $x_{n}$. The mean $x_{1}$ is fixed (and positive). How can I find $f(x)$ that ...

Is anything known about the behavior of the function $$f(x)=\prod_{i=1}^n x_i^{x_i}$$ on the standard simplex, i.e. the set $\{x\in\mathbb{R}^n:\sum_{i=1}^n x_i=1, x_i\geq0\}$? I ask because I have ...
