We prove that, for all positive integers $n_1, \ldots, n_m$, $n_{m+1}=n_1$, and non-negative integers $j$ and $r$ with $j\leqslant m$, the following two expressions \begin{align*} &\frac{1}{[n_1+n_m+1]}{n_1+n_{m}\brack…

In 2008, M. Marshall settled a long-standing open problem by showing that if f(x,y) is a polynomial that is non-negative on the strip [0,1] x R, then there exist sums of squares s(x,y) and t(x,y) such that f(x,y) = s(x,y) + (x - x^2)…

A real sequence $(b_k)_{k=0}^\infty$ is called totally positive if all minors of the infinite matrix $ \left\| b_{j-i} \right\|_{i, j =0}^\infty$ are nonnegative (here $b_k=0$ for $k<0$). In this paper, we investigate the problem of…

We show that if $A$ is a set of mutually orthogonal exponentials with respect to the unit disk then $|A \cap [-R, R]^2| \lesssim_\varepsilon R^{3/5+\varepsilon}$ holds. This improves the previous bound of $R^{2/3}$ by…

Base on some simple facts of Hadamard product, characterizations of positive definite preserving linear transformations on real symmetric matrix spaces with an additional assumption "$\ra T(E_{ii})=1, i=1,2,..., n$" or "$T(A)>0\to A> 0$",…

If $a,b$ are $n\times n$ matrices, Ando proved that Young's inequality is valid for their singular values: if $p>1$ and $1/p+1/q=1$, then $$ \lambda_k|ab^*|\le \lambda_k( \frac1p |a|^p+\frac 1q |b|^q ) \, \textit{ for all }k. $$ Later, this…

We show that for any sufficiently large integer $Q$ and a real $0\leq\lambda\leq\frac34$ there exists a value $c(n,f,J)>0$ such that all strips $L(Q,\lambda)=\{(x,y):|y-f(x)|<Q^{-\lambda}, x\in J=[a,b]\}$ contain at least $c(n, f,…

We introduce a new family $\mathcal{A}_{n,k}$ of Schur positive symmetric functions, which are defined as sums over totally symmetric plane partitions. In the first part, we show that, for $k=1$, this family is equal to a multivariate…

In order to find a suitable expression of an arbitrary square matrix over an arbitrary finite commutative ring, we prove that every such a matrix is always representable as a sum of a potent matrix and a nilpotent matrix of order at most…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ denote an algebraically closed field with characteristic $0$, and let $q$ denote a nonzero scalar in $\mathbb{F}$ that is not a root of unity. Let $\mathbb{Z}_4$ denote the cyclic group of order $4$. Let $\square_q$ denote…

Let $r(z)$ be a rational function with at most $n$ poles, $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n,$ where $|a_j| > 1,$ $1\leq j\leq n.$ This paper investigates the estimate of the modulus of the derivative of a rational function $r(z)$ on the unit circle.…

It is well-known that a quiver Q of type A_n is representation-finite, and that its indecomposable representations are thin (all Jordan-Hoelder multiplicities are 0 or 1). By now, various methods of proof are known. The aim of this note is…

Let $\mathcal{B}(n)$ denote the collection of all set partitions of $[n]$. Suppose $\mathcal{A} \subseteq \mathcal{B}(n)$ is a non-trivial $t$-intersecting family of set partitions i.e. any two members of $\A$ have at least $t$ blocks in…

Let $A, B$ be positive definite matrices, $p=1, 2$ and $r\ge 0$. It is shown that \begin{equation*} ||A+ B + r(A\sharp_t B+A\sharp_{1-t} B)||_p \le ||A+ B + r(A^{t}B^{1-t} + A^{1-t}B^t)||_p. \end{equation*} We also prove that for positive…

We prove that the positive mass theorem applies to Lipschitz metrics as long as the singular set is low-dimensional, with no other conditions on the singular set. More precisely, let $g$ be an asymptotically flat Lipschitz metric on a…

We prove that the algebraic set of pairs of matrices with a diagonal commutator over a field of positive prime characteristic, its irreducible components, and their intersection are $F$-pure when the size of matrices is equal to 3.…

Let $r(k,A,n)$ denote the number of representations of $n$ as a sum of $k$ elements of a set $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$. In 2002, Dombi conjectured that if $A$ is co-infinite, then the sequence $(r(k,A,n))_{n \geq 0}$ cannot be strictly…

We show that for fixed $A,B$, hermitian nonnegative definite matrices, and fixed $k$ the coefficients of the $t^k$ in the polynomial $\tr (A+tB)^m$ is positive if $\tr AB >0$ and $m>N(A,B,k)$.

We derive lower and upper bounds on possible growth rates of certain sets of positive integers $A_k=\{1= a_1 < a_2 < ... < a_{k}\}$ such that all integers $n\in \{0, 1, 2, ..., ka_{k}\}$ can be represented as a sum of no more than $k$…

In the theory of orthogonal polynomials, as well as in its intersection with harmonic analysis, it is an important problem to decide whether a given orthogonal polynomial sequence $(P_n(x))_{n\in\mathbb{N}_0}$ satisfies nonnegative…
