We provide a programmable recursive algorithm for the $\mathbb{S}_n$-representations on the cohomology of the moduli spaces $\overline{\mathcal M}_{0,n}$ of $n$-pointed stable curves of genus 0. As an application, we find explicit inductive…
We prove a Santal\'{o} and a reverse Santal\'{o} inequality for the polarity transform, which was recently re-discovered by Artstein-Avidan and Milman, in the class consisting of (even) log-concave functions attaining their maximal value 1…
In this paper, we present some criteria for the $2$-$q$-log-convexity and $3$-$q$-log-convexity of combinatorial sequences, which can be regarded as the first column of certain infinite triangular array $[A_{n,k}(q)]_{n,k\geq0}$ of…
A subset $R$ of integers is a set of Bohr recurrence if every rotation on $\mathbb{T}^d$ returns arbitrarily close to zero under some non-zero multiple of $R$. We show that the set $\{k!\, 2^m3^n\colon k,m,n\in \mathbb{N}\}$ is a set of…
We find sufficient conditions for log-convexity and log-concavity for the functions of the forms $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}(a)_kx^k$, $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}\Gamma(a+k)x^k$ and $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}x^k/(a)_k$. The most useful examples of such functions are…
Two conjectures of Su and Wang (2008) concerning binomial coefficients are proved. For $n\geq k\geq 0$ and $b>a>0$, we show that the finite sequence $C_j=\binom{n+ja}{k+jb}$ is a P\'{o}lya frequency sequence. For $n\geq k\geq 0$ and…
A long-standing conjecture asserts that the polynomial \[p(t) = \text{Tr}[(A+tB)^m]\] has nonnegative coefficients whenever $m$ is a positive integer and $A$ and $B$ are any two $n \times n$ positive semidefinite Hermitian matrices. The…
In this paper, we develop the theory of relative log convergent cohomology. We prove the coherence of relative log convergent cohomology in certain case by using the comparison theorem between relative log convergent cohomlogy and relative…
We present an elementary proof of a conjecture by I. Ra\c{s}a which is an inequality involving Bernstein basis polynomials and convex functions. It was affirmed in positive very recently by the use of stochastic convex orderings. Moreover,…
Horizontal and vertical generating functions and recursion relations have been investigated by Comtet for triangular double sequences. In this paper we investigate the horizontal and vertical log-concavity of triangular sequences assigned…
We study certain kind of polynomials associated with Lissajous curves, called Chebyshev-Lissajous polynomials. We investigate their irreducibilities over the real numbers and complex numbers, thus comfirming two conjectures proposed by…
We introduce an expressive subclass of non-negative almost submodular set functions, called strongly 2-coverage functions which include coverage and (sums of) matroid rank functions, and prove that the homogenization of the generating…
Lucas polynomials are polynomials in $s_1$ and $s_2$ defined recursively by $\{0\}=0$, $\{1\}=1$, and $\{m\}=s_1\{m-1\}+s_2\{m-2\}$ for $m \geq 2$. We generalize Lucas polynomials from 2-variable polynomials to multivariable polynomials.…
In recent years, the log-concavity or log-convexity of combinatorial sequences and their root sequences, higher order Tur{\'a}n inequalities, and Laguerre inequalities of order two have been widely studied. However, the research of the…
Some changes in a recent convolution formula are performed here in order to clean it up by using more conventional notations and by making use of more referrenced and documented components (namely Sierpi\'nski's polynomials, the Thue-Morse…
Let $Q_n(z)$ be the polynomials associated with the Nekrasov-Okounkov formula $$\sum_{n\geq 1} Q_n(z) q^n := \prod_{m = 1}^\infty (1 - q^m)^{-z - 1}.$$ In this paper we partially answer a conjecture of Heim and Neuhauser, which asks if…
In this article, we consider Bergman kernels with respect to modules at boundary points, and obtain a log-subharmonicity property of the Bergman kernels, which deduces a concavity property related to the Bergman kernels. As applications, we…
In this paper, we develop a quantitative inverse theory for the Gowers uniformity norm $\|\cdot\|_{\mathsf{U}^4}$ in general finite abelian groups. We identify a new type of obstructions to uniformity, which we call almost-cubic…
In this note we offer some log-concavity properties of certain functions related to Bessel functions of the first kind and modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind, by solving partially a recent conjecture on the…
In his study of Ramanujan-Sato type series for $1/\pi$, Sun introduced a sequence of polynomials $S_n(q)$ as given by $$S_n(q)=\sum\limits_{k=0}^n{n\choose k}{2k\choose k}{2(n-k)\choose n-k}q^k,$$ and he conjectured that the polynomials…
