Sufficient conditions are obtained on the parameters of Lommel function of the first kind, generalized Struve function of the first kind and the confluent hypergeometric function under which these special functions become exponential convex…
In this paper, we establish some Hadamard-type inequalities based on coordinated quasi-convexity. Also we define a new mapping associated to coordinated convexity and we prove some properties of this mapping.
We systematically exploit a new generalized hypergeometric identity to obtain new hypergeometric summation formulas. As a consistency test, alternative proofs for some special cases are also provided. As a byproduct new summation formulas…
In this paper we prove the concavity of the $k$-trace functions, $A\mapsto (\text{Tr}_k[\exp(H+\ln A)])^{1/k}$, on the convex cone of all positive definite matrices. $\text{Tr}_k[A]$ denotes the $k_{\mathrm{th}}$ elementary symmetric…
The logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n$ of an analytic and univalent function $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ with the normalization $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$ are defined by $\log \frac{f(z)}{z}= 2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}…
We study the Heckman-Opdam hypergeometric functions associated to a root system of type $BC$ and a multiplicity function which is allowed to assume some non-positive values (a standard multiplicity function). For such functions, we obtain…
Given a frequency $\lambda$, we study general Dirichlet series $\sum a_n e^{-\lambda_n s}$. First, we give a new condition on $\lambda$ which ensures that a somewhere convergent Dirichlet series defining a bounded holomorphic function in…
We consider convexity and monotonicity properties for some functions related to the $q$-gamma function. As applications, we give a variety of inequalities for the $q$-gamma function, the $q$-digamma function $\psi_q(x)$, and the $q$-series.…
We establish general versions of a variety of results for quasiconvex, lower-semicontinuous, and law-invariant functionals. Our results extend well-known results from the literature to a large class of spaces of random variables. We…
We give an alternative proof of a recent result of Klartag on the existence of almost subgaussian linear functionals on convex bodies. If $K$ is a convex body in ${\mathbb R}^n$ with volume one and center of mass at the origin, there exists…
In this work we present a new, natural, definition for the mean width of log-concave functions. We show that the new definition coincide with a previous one by B. Klartag and V. Milman, and deduce some properties of the mean width,…
Anari, Gharan, and Vinzant proved (complete) log-concavity of the basis generating functions for all matroids. From the viewpoint of combinatorial Hodge theory, it is natural to ask whether these functions are "strictly" log-concave for…
In the paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for a function involving a ratio of gamma functions to be logarithmically completely monotonic. This extends and generalizes the main result in [\emph{Inequalities and…
We prove a conjecture of Liu and Wang on the q-log-convexity of the polynomial sequence $\{\sum_{k=0}^n{n\choose k}^2q^k\}_{n\geq 0}$. By using Pieri's rule and the Jacobi-Trudi identity for Schur functions, we obtain an expansion of a sum…
Let $U_{n,d}$ be the uniform matroid of rank $d$ on $n$ elements. Denote by $g_{U_{n,d}}(t)$ the Speyer's $g$-polynomial of $U_{n,d}$. The Tur\'{a}n inequality and higher order Tur\'{a}n inequality are related to the Laguerre-P\'{o}lya…
We introduce a new type of $p$-adic hypergeometric functions, which are generalizations of $p$-adic hypergeometric functions of logarithmic type defined by Asakura, and show that these functions satisfy the congruence relations similar to…
This paper investigates the generalized convexity properties of the Lambert $W$ function, defined as the solution to $W(z)e^{W(z)}=z$. Focusing on $H_{p,q}$-convexity and concavity with respect to H\"older means, we derive necessary and…
We formulate a plausible conjecture for the optimal Ehrhard-type inequality for convex symmetric sets with respect to the Gaussian measure. Namely, letting $J_{k-1}(s)=\int^s_0 t^{k-1} e^{-\frac{t^2}{2}}dt$ and $c_{k-1}=J_{k-1}(+\infty)$,…
We prove that for any two centrally-symmetric convex shapes $K,L \subset \mathbb{R}^2$, the function $t \mapsto |e^t K \cap L|$ is log-concave. This extends a result of Cordero-Erausquin, Fradelizi and Maurey in the two dimensional case.…
In this paper we extend some notions, previously defined for log-concave functions, to the larger domain of so-called {\alpha}-concave functions. We begin with a detailed discussion of support functions - first for log-concave functions,…
