Methods and an algorithm for computing the generalized Marcum $Q-$function ($Q_{\mu}(x,y)$) and the complementary function ($P_{\mu}(x,y)$) are described. These functions appear in problems of different technical and scientific areas such…
We prove some new results and unify the proofs of old ones involving complete monotonicity of expressions involving gamma and $q$-gamma functions, $0 < q < 1$. Each of these results implies the infinite divisibility of a related probability…
We prove some properties of completely monotonic functions and apply them to obtain results on gamma and $q$-gamma functions.
For each $q\in{\mathbb{N}}_0$, we construct positive linear polynomial approximation operators $M_n$ that simultaneously preserve $k$-monotonicity for all $0\leq k\leq q$ and yield the estimate \[ |f(x)-M_n(f, x)| \leq c…
Let $[q] = \{0,1,\ldots,q-1\}$, let $\Delta[q]$ denote the simplex of probability measures on $[q]$, and let $\gamma$ denote the Lebesgue measure normalized on $\Delta[q]$. We prove that for any symmetric monotone function $f \colon[q]^n…

This paper presents a new connection between the generalized Marcum-Q function and the confluent hypergeometric function of two variables, phi3. This result is then applied to the closed-form characterization of the bivariate Nakagami-m…
We prove a conjecture of Cuttler et al.~[2011] [A. Cuttler, C. Greene, and M. Skandera; \emph{Inequalities for symmetric means}. European J. Combinatorics, 32(2011), 745--761] on the monotonicity of \emph{normalized Schur functions} under…
The study of exact quasi-normal modes [QNMs], and their associated quasi-normal frequencies [QNFs], has had a long and convoluted history - replete with many rediscoveries of previously known results. In this article we shall collect and…
Suppose that $(P,Q) \in \mathbb{N}_2^{\mathbb{N}} \times \mathbb{N}_2^{\mathbb{N}}$ and $x=E_0.E_1E_2\cdots$ is the $P$-Cantor series expansion of $x \in \mathbb{R}$. We define $\psi_{P,Q}(x):=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac {\min(E_n,q_n-1)} {q_1…

It is shown that, if nu >= 1/2 then the generalized Marcum Q function Q_nu(a, b) is log-concave in 0<=b <infty. This proves a conjecture of Sun, Baricz and Zhou (2010). We also point out relevant results in the statistics literature.
We introduce a notion of substitutability for correspondences and establish a monotone comparative static result, unifying results such as the inverse isotonicity of M-matrices, Berry, Gandhi and Haile's identification of demand systems,…
We characterize the extreme points of multidimensional monotone functions from $[0,1]^n$ to $[0,1]$, as well as the extreme points of the set of one-dimensional marginals of these functions. These characterizations lead to new results for…
We study the generalized q-dimensions of measures supported on non-autonomous conformal attractors, which are the generalizations of Moran sets and the attractors of iterated function systems. We first prove that the critical values of…
