Cyclotomic polylogarithms are reviewed and new results concerning the special constants that occur are presented. This also allows some comments on previous literature results using PSLQ.
In this paper we give simple proofs for the bounds (some of them sharp) of the difference of the moduli of the second and the first logarithmic coefficient for the general class of univalent functions and for the class of convex univalent…
It is proved that harmonic functions are characterized by harmonicity of their spherical means, for which purpose the iterated spherical means are used. The similar characterization of solutions to the modified Helmholtz equation…
Our aim is to provide a short and self contained synthesis which generalise and unify various related and unrelated works involving what we call Phi-Sobolev functional inequalities. Such inequalities related to Phi-entropies can be seen in…
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…
In this paper we consider several families of potential non-isochronous systems and study their associated period functions. Firstly, we prove some properties of these functions, like their local behavior near the critical point or…
We prove a conjecture of Cuttler et al.~[2011] [A. Cuttler, C. Greene, and M. Skandera; \emph{Inequalities for symmetric means}. European J. Combinatorics, 32(2011), 745--761] on the monotonicity of \emph{normalized Schur functions} under…
We refine Epstein's method to prove joint concavity/convexity of matrix trace functions of Lieb type $\mathrm{Tr}\,f(\Phi(A^p)^{1/2}\Psi(B^q)\Phi(A^p)^{1/2})$ and symmetric (anti-) norm functions of the form…
We show that for a convex function the following, rather modest conditions, are equivalent to monotonicity under local operations and classical communication. The conditions are: 1)invariance under local unitaries, 2) invariance under…
Many trace inequalities can be expressed either as concavity/convexity theorems or as monotonicity theorems. A classic example is the joint convexity of the quantum relative entropy which is equivalent to the Data Processing Inequality. The…
The "finite intersection property" for bifunctions is introduced and its relationship with generalized monotonicity properties is studied. Some results concerning existence of solution for (quasi-)equilibrium problems are established and…
In this paper we investigate analytic inequalities related to a conjecture of Henry involving the difference between the Riemann zeta function and the digamma function. By treating $\zeta(s)-\psi(1-s)$ as a unified analytic object, we…
In the previous version of this paper we prove a theorem on the boundary behavior of the conical plurisubharmonic measure. However, the proof turns out to be incomplete. In the present version we give a corrected proof of this theorem. We…
In this paper, using the theory of category, we generalize known properties of symmetric polynomials and functions and characterize the multi-indicial symmetric functions. Examples have been given on Schur functions.
Let $ f:(0,\infty)\rightarrow \Bbb{R} $ be a completely monotonic function. In this paper, we present some properties of this functions and several new classes of completely monotonic functions. We also give some special functions such that…
In this paper, the Authors establish a new identity for differentiable functions. By the well-known H\"older and power mean inequality, they obtain some integral inequalities related to the convex functions and apply these inequalities to…
In this expository and survey paper, along one of main lines of bounding the ratio of two gamma functions, we look back and analyse some inequalities, several complete monotonicity of functions involving ratios of two gamma or $q$-gamma…
We give a characterization of harmonic and subharmonic functions in terms of their mean values in balls and on spheres. This includes the converse of an inequality of Beardon's for subharmonic functions. We also obtain integral inequalities…
The ratio monotonicity of a polynomial is a stronger property than log-concavity. Let P(x) be a polynomial with nonnegative and nondecreasing coefficients. We prove the ratio monotone property of P(x+1), which leads to the log-concavity of…
We point out the connection of the so-called H\^opital-style rules for monotonicity and oscillation to some well-known properties of concave/convex functions. From this standpoint, we are able to generalize the rules under no…
