We provide a general theoretical framework to derive Bernstein-von Mises theorems for matrix functionals. The conditions on functionals and priors are explicit and easy to check. Results are obtained for various functionals including…
Uhlmann showed that there exists a positive, unital and trace-preserving map transforming a Hermitian matrix $A$ into another $B$ if and only if the vector of eigenvalues of $A$ majorizes that of $B$. In this work I characterize the…
We discuss the possibility to represent smooth nonnegative matrix-valued functions as finite linear combinations of fixed matrices with positive real-valued coefficients whose square roots are Lipschitz continuous. This issue is reduced to…
The demand for formal verification tools for neural networks has increased as neural networks have been deployed in a growing number of safety-critical applications. Matrices are a data structure essential to formalising neural networks.…
A symmetric positive semi-definite matrix A is called completely positive if there exists a matrix B with nonnegative entries such that A=BB^T. If B is such a matrix with a minimal number p of columns, then p is called the cp-rank of A. In…
Quantum monotone metric was introduced by Petz,and it was proved that quantum monotone metrics on the set of quantum states with trace one were characterized by operator monotone functions. Later, these were extended to monotone metrics on…
We define positive and strictly positive definite functions on a domain and study these functions on a list of regular domains. The list includes the unit ball, conic surface, hyperbolic surface, solid hyperboloid, and simplex. Each of…
Generalisations of the bent property of a boolean function are presented, by proposing spectral analysis with respect to a well-chosen set of local unitary transforms. Quadratic boolean functions are related to simple graphs and it is shown…
In this paper, we prove logarithmically complete monotonicity properties of certain ratios of the $k$-gamma function. As a consequence, we deduce some inequalities involving the $k$-gamma and $k$-trigamma functions.
We derive conditions for the existence of fixed points of cone mappings without assuming scalability of functions. Monotonicity and scalability are often inseparable in the literature in the context of searching for fixed points of…
Given a positive function $f$ on $(0,\infty)$ and a non-zero real parameter $\theta$, we consider a function $I_f^\theta(A,B,X)=Tr X^*(f(L_AR_B^{-1})R_B)^\theta(X)$ in three matrices $A,B>0$ and $X$. In the literature $\theta=\pm1$ has been…
One may identify the general properties of the neutrino mass matrix by generating many random mass matrices and testing them against the results of the neutrino experiments.
First conformal transformations of the $S$-matrix are derived in massless $\phi^4$-theory. Then it is shown that the anomalous transformations can be rewritten as a symmetry once one has introduced a local coupling and interprets the charge…
The logarithmic convexity of restrictions of the Beta functions to rays parallel to the main diagonal and the functional equation \[ \phi\left( x+1\right) =\frac{x\left( x+k\right) }{\left( 2x+k+1\right) \left( 2x+k\right) }\phi\left(…
Matrix completion results deal with the question of when a partially specified symmetric matrix can be completed to a member of certain matrix cones. Results from positive semidefinite matrix completion and completely positive matrix…
We introduce new generalizations of the Gamma and the Beta functions. Their properties are investigated and known results are obtained as particular cases.
We consider the construction of insurance premiums that are monotonically increasing with respect to a loading parameter. By introducing weight functions that are totally positive of higher order, we derive higher monotonicity properties of…
We determine a necessary and sufficient condition for a polynomial over an algebraically closed field $k$ to induce a surjective map on matrix algebras $M_n(k)$ for $n \ge 2$. The criterion is given in terms of critical points and uses…
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, the complete monotonicity of several functions involving ratios of two gamma or $q$-gamma…
Let $\mathcal A$ be an $\mathbb F$-algebra and $\omega \in \mathcal A\langle x_1, \ldots, x_m \rangle$ which defines a map $\mathcal A^m \rightarrow \mathcal A$ by evaluation, called a polynomial map with constant. We consider $\mathcal {A}…
