Positive, monotone decreasing function, with derivative limit in 0 equal to ∞ submultiplicat...

Define $f$ on $]0,e^{-2}]$ by $$f(x) = \frac{1}{-\sqrt{x}\ln(x)}.$$ Then $f$ is positive, decreasing since $$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\big(-\sqrt{x}\ln(x)\big) = \frac{-\ln(x)-2}{2\sqrt{x}} \ge 0 …

Equality cases in a certain case of Jensen's inequality

Since the distribution of the r.v. $X$ is zero-mean, $X$ integrable (hence also the copy $Y$). The equality is attained iff the distribution of $X$ is carried by at most two points. Indeed, by indepen …
