Note on an elementary inequality and its application to the regularity of p-harmonic functions

We study the Sobolev regularity of \(p\)-harmonic functions. We show that \(|Du|^{\frac{p-2+s}{2}}Du\) belongs to the Sobolev space \(W^{1,2}_{\operatorname{loc}}\), \(s>-1-\frac{p-1}{n-1}\), for any \(p\)-harmonic function \(u\). The proof is based on an elementary inequality.

THE TOTAL DISTANCE FOR TOTALLY POSITIVE ALGEBRAIC INTEGERS

Let $\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}P(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $d$ with zeros $\alpha _1, \ldots, \alpha _d$. Stulov and Yang [‘An elementary inequality about the Mahler measure’, Involve6(4) (2013), 393–397] defined the total distance of$P$ as ${\rm td}(P)=\sum _{i=1}^{d} | | \alpha _i| -1|$. In this paper, using the method of explicit auxiliary functions, we study the spectrum of the total distance for totally positive algebraic integers and find its five smallest points. Moreover, for totally positive algebraic integers, we establish inequalities comparing the total distance with two standard measures and also the trace. We give numerical examples to show that our bounds are quite good. The polynomials involved in the auxiliary functions are found by a recursive algorithm.

Zero and coefficient inequalities for stable polynomials

In this paper an elementary inequality and Cardan-Vi?te formulae are used to obtain some inequalities involving the zeros and coefficients of stable polynomials with complex coefficients.

A note on a paper by S. Haber

A technique used by S. Haber to prove an elementary inequality is applied here to obtain a more general inequality for convex sequences.
