P\'olya in 1926 showed that the hypergeometric function $F(z)=\null_2F_1(a,b;c;z)$ has a totally monotone sequence as its coefficients; that is, $F$ is the generating function of a Hausdorff moment sequence, when $0\le a\le 1$ and $0\le…

We study the fixed point for a non-linear transformation in the set of Hausdorff moment sequences, defined by the formula: $T((a_n))_n=1/(a_0+... +a_n)$. We determine the corresponding measure $\mu$, which has an increasing and convex…

Let $f$ be a rational function on an algebraic curve over the complex numbers. For a point $p$ and local parameter $x$ we can consider the Taylor series for $f$ in the variable $x$. In this paper we give an upper bound on the frequency with…

The class of generating functions for completely monotone sequences (moments of finite positive measures on $[0,1]$) has an elegant characterization as the class of Pick functions analytic and positive on $(-\infty,1)$. We establish this…

Using the reflection formula of the Gamma function, we derive a new formula for the Taylor coefficients of the reciprocal Gamma function. The new formula provides effective asymptotic values for the coefficients even for very small values…

We study a class of positive random variables having moments of Gamma type, whose density can be expressed by the three-parametric Mittag-Leffler functions. We give some necessary conditions and some sufficient conditions for their…

We establish a Sewing lemma in the regime $\gamma \in \left( 0, 1 \right]$, constructing a Sewing map which is neither unique nor canonical, but which is nonetheless continuous with respect to the standard norms. Two immediate corollaries…

Perturbation or error bounds of functions have been of great interest for a long time. If the functions are differentiable, then the mean value theorem and Taylor's theorem come handy for this purpose. While the former is useful in…

For a symmetric bounded measurable function W on [0,1]^2, "moments" of W can be defined as values t(F,W) indexed by simple graphs. We prove that every such function is determined by its moments up to a measure preserving transformation of…

In this paper, we prove that for $x+y>0$ and $y+1>0$ the inequality {equation*} \frac{[\Gamma(x+y+1)/\Gamma(y+1)]^{1/x}}{[\Gamma(x+y+2)/\Gamma(y+1)]^{1/(x+1)}} <\biggl(\frac{x+y}{x+y+1}\biggr)^{1/2} {equation*} is valid if $x>1$ and…

For a nice holomorphic function $f(s, z)$ in two variables, a respective holomorphic Gamma function $\Gamma = \Gamma_f$ is constructed, such that $f(s, \Gamma(s)) = \Gamma(s + 1)$. Along the way, we fall through a rabbit hole of infinite…

In a previous paper we considered a positive function f, uniquely determined for s>0 by the requirements f(1)=1, log(1/f) is convex and the functional equation f(s)=psi(f(s+1)) with psi(s)=s-1/s. We prove that the meromorphic extension of f…

If $f(x,y)$ is a real function satisfying $y>0$ and $\sum_{r=0}^{n-1}f(x+ry,ny)=f(x,y)$ for $n=1,2,3,\ldots$, we say that $f(x,y)$ is an invariant function. Many special functions including Bernoulli polynomials, Gamma function and Hurwitz…

This short note concerns the possible singular behaviour of moment generating functions of finite measures at the boundary of their domain of existence. We look closer at Example 7.3 in O. Barndorff-Nielsen's book "Information and…

This paper investigates additive processes with respect to several different independences in non-commutative probability in terms of the convolution hemigroups of the distributions of the increments of the processes. In particular, we…

We introduce a general class of generating functionals for the calculation of quantum-mechanical expectation values of arbitrary functionals of fluctuating paths with fixed end points in configuration or momentum space. The generating…

In this paper, we show a series of abstract results on fixed point regularity with respect to a parameter. They are based on a Taylor development taking into account a loss of regularity phenomenon, typically occurring for composition…

The aim of this paper is to develop analytic techniques to deal with certain monotonicity of combinatorial sequences. (1) A criterion for the monotonicity of the function $\sqrt[x]{f(x)}$ is given, which is a continuous analog for one…

We consider a class of two-dimensional functions f(x,y) with the property that the smallness of its rectangular norm implies the smallness of rectangular norm for f(x,x+y). Also we study a family of functions f(x,y) having a similar…

In this paper, a new calculus on sequences is defined. Also, the $\lambda$-derivative and the $\lambda$-integration are investigated. The fundamental theorem of $\lambda$-calculus is included. A suitable function basis for the…
