Two-sided bounds are explored for concentration functions and Renyi entropies in the class of discrete log-concave probability distributions. They are used to derive certain variants of the entropy power inequalities.

We establish concentration inequalities in the class of ultra log-concave distributions. In particular, we show that ultra log-concave distributions satisfy Poisson concentration bounds. As an application, we derive concentration bounds for the intri
nsic volumes of a convex body, which generalizes and improves a result of Lotz, McCoy, Nourdin, Peccati, and Tropp (2019).
In this paper we show that the family P_d of probability distributions on R^d with log-concave densities satisfies a strong continuity condition. In particular, it turns out that weak convergence within this family entails (i) convergence in total va
riation distance, (ii) convergence of arbitrary moments, and (iii) pointwise convergence of Laplace transforms. Hence the nonparametric model P_d has similar properties as parametric models such as, for instance, the family of all d-variate Gaussian distributions.
Nonparametric statistics for distribution functions F or densities f=F under qualitative shape constraints provides an interesting alternative to classical parametric or entirely nonparametric approaches. We contribute to this area by considering a n
ew shape constraint: F is said to be bi-log-concave, if both log(F) and log(1 - F) are concave. Many commonly considered distributions are compatible with this constraint. For instance, any c.d.f. F with log-concave density f = F is bi-log-concave. But in contrast to the latter constraint, bi-log-concavity allows for multimodal densities. We provide various characterizations. It is shown that combining any nonparametric confidence band for F with the new shape-constraint leads to substantial improvements, particularly in the tails. To pinpoint this, we show that these confidence bands imply non-trivial confidence bounds for arbitrary moments and the moment generating function of F.
In this paper, the functional Quermassintegrals of log-concave functions in $mathbb R^n$ are discussed, we obtain the integral expression of the $i$-th functional mixed Quermassintegrals, which are similar to the integral expression of the $i$-th Quermassintegrals of convex bodies.
Affine invariant points and maps for sets were introduced by Grunbaum to study the symmetry structure of convex sets. We extend these notions to a functional setting. The role of symmetry of the set is now taken by evenness of the function. We show t
hat among the examples for affine invariant points are the classical center of gravity of a log-concave function and its Santalo point. We also show that the recently introduced floating functions and the John- and Lowner functions are examples of affine invariant maps. Their centers provide new examples of affine invariant points for log-concave functions.
