We extend the definition of weak symmetric continuity to be applicable for functions defined on any nonempty subset of $\R$. Then we investigate basic properties of weakly symmetrically continuous functions and compare them with those of…

If a multiplicative function $f$ satisfies $f(a^2+b^2+c^2) = f(a)^2+f(b)^2+f(c)^2$ for all positive integers $a$, $b$, and $c$, then $f$ is an identity function.

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between positive definite functions on the unit sphere $\sph$ and on the Euclidean space $\RR^d$. For the dimension $d$ to be odd, a new technique is developed to establish the inheritance of…

We introduce trace definability, a weak notion of interpretability, and trace equivalence, a weak notion of equivalence for first order structures and theories. In particular we get an interesting weak equivalence notion for $\mathrm{NIP}$…

We classify functions $f:(a,b)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ which satisfy the inequality $$\operatorname{tr} f(A)+f(C)\geq \operatorname{tr} f(B)+f(D)$$ when $A\leq B\leq C$ are self-adjoint matrices, $D= A+C-B$, the so-called trace minmax…

Let $F$ be an ordered topological vector space (over $\mathbb{R}$) whose positive cone $F_+$ is weakly closed, and let $E \subseteq F$ be a subspace. We prove that the set of positive continuous linear functionals on $E$ that can be…

This article characterizes the associativity of two-place functions $T: [0,1]^2\rightarrow [0,1]$ defined by $T(x,y)=f^{(-1)}(F(f(x),f(y)))$ where $F:[0,1]^2\rightarrow[0,1]$ is a triangular norm (even a triangular subnorm), $f:…

We consider functions of the type $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$ from a family of all analytic and univalent functions in the unit disk. Let $F$ be the inverse function of $f$, given by $F(z)=w+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}A_nw^n$ defined on some…

We introduce a notion of planar algebra, the simplest example of which is a vector space of tensors, closed under planar contractions. A planar algebra with suitable positivity properties produces a finite index subfactor of a II_1 factor,…

In this paper we consider Iterated Function Systems (IFS) on the real line consisting of continuous piecewise linear functions. We assume some bounds on the contraction ratios of the functions, but we do not assume any separation condition.…

We consider the class of positive bounded and semi-continuous functions defined on the two dimensional torus If f belongs to this class, then f will be considered as the symbol of a Toeplitz operator truncated on a triangle parametrised by…

In this paper we prove a basic theorem which says that if f : F_p^n -> [0,1] has the property that ||f^||_(1/3) is not too ``large''(actually, it also holds for quasinorms 1/2-\delta in place of 1/3), and E(f) = p^{-n} sum_m f(m) is not too…

This short note provides a sharper upper bound of a well known inequality for the sum of divisors function. This is a problem in pure mathematics related to the distribution of prime numbers. Furthermore, the technique is completely…

We give a sharp characterization of how additional integrability in the interior improves the integrability of boundary traces of $\mathrm{W}^{1,p}$-Sobolev functions. The optimality of our results relies on a novel nonlinear extension or…

In this note we define a $C^1$ function $F:[0,M]^2\to [0,2]$ that satisfies that its set of critical values has positive measure. This function provides an example, easier than those that usually appear in the literature, of how the order…

A generalization of Powers-St$\o$rmer's inequality for operator monotone functions on $[0, +\infty)$ and for positive linear functional on general $C^*$-algebras will be proved. It also will be shown that the generalized Powers-St$\o$rmer…

The function $ \tan(\pi x / 2) / (\pi x / 2) $ is expanded into a Laurent series of $ 1 - x^2 $, where the coefficients are given explicitly as combinations of zeta function of even integers. This is used to achieve a sequence of upper and…

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)…

We introduce small cap square function estimates for parabola and cone, and prove the sharp estimates. More precisely, we study the inequalities of form \[ \|f\|_p\le C_{\alpha,p}(R)…

We show that a compact operator $A$ is a multiple of a positive semi-definite operator if and only if $$ \sigma(AB) \subseteq \overline{W(A)W(B)}, \quad\text{for all (rank one) operators $B$}. $$ An example of a normal operator is given to…
