In many classification tasks there is a requirement of monotonicity. Concretely, if all else remains constant, increasing (resp. decreasing) the value of one or more features must not decrease (resp. increase) the value of the prediction.…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the P\'olya--Szeg\"o type inequality with variable exponent of summability.
We display several examples of generalized gamma convoluted and hyperbolically completely monotone random variables related to positive $\alpha$-stable laws. We also obtain new factorizations for the latter, refining Kanter's and…
In the paper, the authors establish some asymptotic formulas and double inequalities for the factorial $n!$ and the gamma function $\Gamma$ in terms of the tri-gamma function $\psi'$.
We obtain an explicit analytical sufficient condition on $E$ that ensures the monotonicity of the matrix $M+E$, where $M$ is an $M$-matrix.
In this paper, it is shown that every polynomial function is mixed monotone globally with a polynomial decomposition function. For univariate polynomials, the decomposition functions can be constructed from the Gram matrix representation of…
In this note we prove two monotonicity formulas for solutions of $\Delta_H f = c$ and $\Delta_H f - \p_t f = c$ in Carnot groups. Such formulas involve the right-invariant \emph{carr\'e du champ} of a function and they are false for the…
The aim of this sequence of work is to investigate polynomial equations satisfied by additive functions. As a result of this, new characterization theorems for homomorphisms and derivations can be given. More exactly, in this paper the…
We introduce new generalizations of the Gamma and the Beta functions. Their properties are investigated and known results are obtained as particular cases.
This paper studies the problem of testing whether a function is monotone from a nonparametric Bayesian perspective. Two new families of tests are constructed. The first uses constrained smoothing splines, together with a hierarchical…
The most important open problem in Monotone Operator Theory concerns the maximal monotonicity of the sum of two maximally monotone operators provided that the classical Rockafellar's constraint qualification holds, which is called the "sum…
For $\alpha\geq 0$, $\beta<1$ and $\gamma\geq 0$, the class $\mathcal{W}_{\beta}(\alpha,\gamma)$ satisfies the condition \begin{align*} {\rm Re\,} \left( e^{i\phi}\left((1-\alpha+2\gamma)f/z+(\alpha-2\gamma)f'+ \gamma…
Let $\gamma(t)=(P_1(t),\ldots,P_n(t))$ where $P_i$ is a real polynomial with zero constant term for each $1\leq i\leq n$. We will show the existence of the configuration $\{x,x+\gamma(t)\}$ in sets of positive density $\epsilon$ in…
The probabilistic satisfiability of a logical expression is a fundamental concept known as the partition function in statistical physics and field theory, an evaluation of a related graph's Tutte polynomial in mathematics, and the…
Let $P_1,\dots, P_n$ and $Q_1,\dots, Q_n$ be convex polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that $P_i\subset Q_i$. It is well-known that the mixed volume has the monotonicity property: $V(P_1,\dots,P_n)\leq V(Q_1,\dots,Q_n)$. We give two criteria…
Let $F_{p}(x) =L( t^{p}f(t)) =\int_{0}^{\infty }t^{p}f(t) e^{-xt}dt$ converge on $(0,\infty)$ for $p\in \mathbb{N}_{0}=\mathbb{N}\cup{0}$, where $f(t)$ is positive on $(0,\infty)$. In a recent paper [Z.-H. Yang, A complete monotonicity…
We define an absolutely convergent series for the upper incomplete Gamma function $\Gamma(s,z)$ for $z\geq 1$ and $s\in \mathbb{C}$. We express this series using certain polynomials which we define using the Stirling numbers of the first…
Problems in econometrics, insurance, reliability engineering, and statistics quite often rely on the assumption that certain functions are non-decreasing. To satisfy this requirement, researchers frequently model the underlying phenomena…
This work has a purpose to collect selected facts about the completely monotone (CM) functions that can be found in books and papers devoted to different areas of mathematics. We opted for lesser known ones, and for those which may help…
We derive monotone properties of positive harmonic functions on three dimensional manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature, with an asymptotically flat end. Rigidity characterization of spatial Schwarzschild manifolds with two ends is…
