On compactness in Sion's minimax theorem

Sions minimax theorem (wiki, paper) can be stated as follows: Let $X$ be a compact convex subset of a linear topological space and $Y$ a convex subset of a linear topological space. Let $f$ be a …

Minimization over a convex function of equal vs unequal success probabilities of Bernoulli r...

Let $U_1,U_2,\ldots,U_n$ be $n\geq 2$ mutually independent Bernoulli random variables. There are two cases of interest: $1.$ The random variables $U_1,U_2,\ldots,U_n$ are identically distributed; $U_ …

Does maximizing $D_u$ imply stochastic ordering?

Let $\mathscr P _0$ and $\mathscr P _1$ be two non-overlapping sets of probability distributions defined on $(\Omega,\mathcal{A})$. Consider the distance defined as $$D_u(P_0,P_1)=\int_\Omega \left(\f …
