In this paper, we study completete monotonicity properties of the function $f_{a,k}(x)=\psi^{(k)}(x+a) - \psi^{(k)}(x) - \frac{ak!}{x^{k+1}}$, where $a\in(0,1)$ and $k\in \mathbb{N}_0$. Specifically, we consider the cases for $k\in \{ 2n:…

In this note we study restrictions on the recently introduced super-additive and sub-additive transformations, $A\mapsto A^*$ and $A\mapsto A_*$, of an aggregation function $A$. We prove that if $A^*$ has a slightly stronger property of…

Let $\psi(x)$ be the di-gamma function, the logarithmic derivative of the classical Euler's gamma function $\Gamma(x)$. In the paper, the author shows that the completely monotonic degree of the function $[\psi'(x)]^2+\psi''(x)$ is $4$,…

In this note we give a short and self-contained proof that, for any $\delta > 0$, $\sum_{x \leq n \leq x+x^\delta} \lambda(n) = o(x^\delta)$ for almost all $x \in [X, 2X]$. We also sketch a proof of a generalization of such a result to…

Let $\psi$ be a positive function defined near the origin such that $\lim_{t\to 0^{+}}\psi(t)=0$. We consider the operator \begin{equation*} T_\theta f(x) = \lim_{\varepsilon\to 0^+} \int_\varepsilon^1 e^{i\gamma(t)}f(x-t)…
