We study operator log-convex functions on $(0,\infty)$, and prove that a continuous nonnegative function on $(0,\infty)$ is operator log-convex if and only if it is operator monotone decreasing. Several equivalent conditions related to…
Operator $k$-tone functions on an open interval of the real line, which are higher order extensions of operator monotone and convex functions, are characterized via certain inequalities for the real and imaginary parts of analytic…

In the paper, by establishing the monotonicity of some functions involving the sine and cosine functions, the authors provide concise proofs of some known inequalities and find some new sharp inequalities involving the Seiffert,…
An operator mean is a binary operation assigned to each pair of positive operators satisfying monotonicity, continuity from above, the transformer inequality and the fixed-point property. It is well known that there are one-to-one…
We look at Toeplitz operators $T_\nu$ on the Fock Space (also known as the Segal-Bargmann space) which have a positive Borel measure $\nu$ as a symbol. We characterize when $\left(T_\nu\right)^s$ for $0<s\leq 1$ is in the symmetrically…
An attempt toward the operational formulation of quantum thermodynamics is made by employing the recently proposed operations forming positive operator-valued measures for generating thermodynamic processes. The quantity of heat as well as…
A time operator $\hat T_\eps$ of the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator $ \hat h_\eps=\half(p^2+\eps q^2)$ is rigorously constructed. It is formally expressed as $ \hat T_\eps=\half\frac{1}{\sqrt \eps } (\arctan (\sqrt \eps \hat…
In this expository article, we discuss various monotonicity formulas for parabolic and elliptic operators and explain how the analysis of the function spaces and the geometry of the underlining spaces are intertwined. After briefly…
In the article, a notion "logarithmically absolutely monotonic function" is introduced, an inclusion that a logarithmically absolutely monotonic function is also absolutely monotonic is revealed, the logarithmically complete monotonicity…
A monotone function interval is the set of monotone functions that lie pointwise between two fixed monotone functions. We characterize the set of extreme points of monotone function intervals and apply this to a number of economic settings.…
We generalize Loewner's method for proving that matrix monotone functions are operator monotone. The relation x \leq y on bounded operators is our model for a definition for C*-relations of being residually finite dimensional. Our main…
We characterize the weighted Hardy's inequalities for monotone functions in ${\mathbb R^n_+}.$ In dimension $n=1$, this recovers the classical theory of $B_p$ weights. For $n>1$, the result was only known for the case $p=1$. In fact, our…
Some real functions f induce mean of positive numbers and the matrix monotonicity gives a possibility for means of positive definite matrices. Moreover, such a function f can define linear mapping beta on matrices (which is basic in the…
Let $T$ be a bounded operator. We say $T$ is a Ritt operator if $\sup_n n\lVert T^n-T^{n+1}\rVert<\infty$. It is know that when $T$ is a positive contraction and a Ritt operator in $L^p$, $1<p<\infty$, then for any integer $m\ge 1$, the…
According to a celebrated result by L\"owner, a real-valued function $f$ is operator monotone if and only if its L\"owner matrix, which is the matrix of divided differences $L_f=(\frac{f(x_i)-f(x_j)}{x_i-x_j})_{i,j=1}^N$, is positive…
All correlation measures, classical and quantum, must be monotonic under local operations. In this paper, we characterize monotonic formulas that are linear combinations of the von Neumann entropies associated with the quantum state of a…
From an analytical perspective, we introduce a sequence of Cartier operators that act on the field of formal Laurent series in one variable with coefficients in a field of positive characteristic $p$. In this work, we discover the binomial…
We consider the group $\mathrm{Aut}(T)$ of isometries of a semi-homogeneous tree $T=T_{q_+,q_-}$ with valencies $q_+ +1$ and $q_- +1$ and its two orbits $V_+$, $V_-$ respectively. We make use of the action of $\mathrm{Aut} (T)$ to equip the…
Let $\psi_q(x)$, $\psi_q'(x)$, and $\psi_q''(x)$ for $q>0$ stand respectively for the $q$-digamma, $q$-trigamma, and $q$-tetragamma functions. In the paper, the author proves along two different approaches that the functions…
