A family of recently investigated Bernstein functions is revisited and those functions for which the derivatives are logarithmically completely monotonic are identified. This leads to the definition of a class of Bernstein functions, which…
We discuss interplays between log-concave functions and log-concave sequences. We prove a Bernstein-type theorem, which characterizes the Laplace transform of log-concave measures on the half-line in terms of log-concavity of the…
We investigate the log-concavity on the half-line of the Wright function $\phi(-\alpha,\beta,-x),$ in the probabilistic setting $\alpha\in (0,1)$ and $\beta \ge 0.$ Applications are given to the construction of generalized entropies…
The Lambert W function has utility for solving various exponential and logarithmic equations arranged in the form of $g(x)e^{g(x)}$. Using the Lambert W function and tetration, a variety of categorized inversion formulas are presented.…
Modular graph functions associate to a graph an $SL(2,Z)$-invariant function on the upper half plane. We obtain the Fourier series of modular graph functions of arbitrary weight $w$ and two-loop order. The motivation for this work is to…

In this survey, we use (more or less) elementary means to establish the well-known result that for any given smooth multivariate function, the respective multivariate Bernstein polynomials converge to that function in all derivatives on…
Motivated by permutation statistics, we define for any complex reflection group W a family of bivariate generating functions. They are defined either in terms of Hilbert series for W-invariant polynomials when W acts diagonally on two sets…
The purpose of this note is to propose an application of the Lambert W function in linear viscoelasticity based on the Bernstein and Stieltjes properties of this function. In particular we recognize the role of the main branch W_0(t) in a…
A polynomial is said to be unimodal if its coefficients are non-decreasing and then non-increasing. The domination polynomial of a graph $G$ is the generating function of the number of dominating sets of each cardinality in $G$. In…
The main aim of this paper is to provide a unified approach to deriving identities for the Bernstein polynomials using a novel generating function. We derive various functional equations and differential equations using this generating…
We show that each member of a doubly infinite sequence of highly nonlinear expressions of Bernoulli polynomials, which can be seen as linear combinations of certain higher-order convolutions, is a multiple of a specific product of linear…
We obtain some new results on the unimodal sequences of the real values of rational functions by polynomials with positive integer coefficients. Thus, we introduce the notion of merged-log-concavity of rational functions. Roughly speaking,…
A Lambert series generating function is a special series summed over an arithmetic function $f$ defined by \[ L_f(q) := \sum_{n \geq 1} \frac{f(n) q^n}{1-q^n} = \sum_{m \geq 1} (f \ast 1)(m) q^m. \] Because of the way the left-hand-side…
We consider the pointwise weighted approximation by Bernstein operators with inner singularities. The related weight functions are weights $\bar{w}(x)=|x-\xi|^\alpha(0<\xi<1,\ \alpha>0).$ In this paper we give direct and inverse results of…
In this paper, we examine the unimodality and strict unimodality of certain formal bivariate Laurent series with non-negative coefficients. We show that the sets of these formal bivariate Laurent series form commutative semirings under the…
In this work, we study the relation between the roots of the Bernstein polynomial $\widetilde{b}$ and the value set of differentials $\Lambda$ for plane branches. For plane branches defined by semiquasihomogeneous polynomial we describe the…

Euler's gamma function is logarithmically convex on positive semi-axis. Additivity of logarithmic convexity implies that the function sum of gammas with non-negative coefficients is also log-convex. In this paper we investigate the series…
In this brief note, it is shown that the function p^TW log(p) is convex in p if W is a diagonally dominant positive definite M-matrix. The techniques used to prove convexity are well-known in linear algebra and essentially involves…
