We prove that the functions t -> (t^q-1)(t^p-1)^{-1} are operator monotone in the positive half-axis for 0 < p < q < 1, and we calculate the two associated canonical representation formulae. The result is used to find new monotone metrics…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ denote the class of functions analytic and univalent (i.e. one-to-one) in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\, |z|<1\}$ normalized by $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$. The logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n$ of $f\in\mathcal{S}$…

In this paper we provide sufficient conditions that ensure the monotonicity, respectively the global injectivity of an operator. Further, some new analytical conditions that assure the injectivity/univalence of a complex function of one…

We give elementary and explicit sufficient conditions (in particular, a functional correlation bound) for deterministic homogenisation (convergence to a stochastic differential equation) for discrete-time fast-slow systems of the form \[…

The note contains two remarks to the authors note (Mathematical Notes, Vol. 94, 2013, p. 154 -- 156; in Russian) which was also devoted to sufficient conditions of global operator monotonicity.

Consider a complete asymptotically flat 3-manifold $M$ with non-negative scalar curvature and non-empty minimal boundary $\Sigma$. Fix a number $1 < p < 3$. We derive monotone quantities for $p$-harmonic functions on $M$ which become…

We obtain global explicit numerical bounds, with best possible constants, for the differences $\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k\leq n}\omega(k)-\log\log n$ and$ \frac{1}{n}\sum_{k\leq n}\Omega(k)-\log\log n$, where $\omega(k)$ and $\Omega(k)$ refer to…

The beta distribution is a two-parameter family of probability distributions whose distribution function is the (regularised) incomplete beta function. In this paper, the inverse incomplete beta function is studied analytically as…

We propose a notion of operator monotonicity for functions of several variables, which extends the well known notion of operator monotonicity for functions of only one variable. The notion is chosen such that a fundamental relationship…

We establish some monotonicity results and functional inequalities for modified Lommel functions of the first kind. In particular, we obtain new Tur\'{a}n type inequalities and bounds for ratios of modified Lommel functions of the first…

We prove new exact formulas for the generalized sum-of-divisors functions, $\sigma_{\alpha}(x) := \sum_{d|x} d^{\alpha}$. The formulas for $\sigma_{\alpha}(x)$ when $\alpha \in \mathbb{C}$ is fixed and $x \geq 1$ involves a finite sum over…

Some years ago, the harmonic polynomial was introduced in order to understand better the harmonic topological index; for instance, it allows to obtain bounds of the harmonic index of the main products of graphs. Here, we obtain several…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions on a function $f:[0,1]\to {0,1,2,...,\omega,\continuum}$ under which there exists a continuous function $F:[0,1]\to [0,1]$ such that for every $y\in[0,1]$ we have $|F^{-1}(y)|=f(y)$.

In the first part of the note we prove that a sufficient condition (due to Simons) for the convexity of the closure of the domain/range of a monotone operator is also necessary when the operator has bounded domain and is maximal. Simons'…

We prove new l'Hopital rules for monotonicity valid on an arbitrary time scale. Both delta and nabla monotonic l'Hopital rules are obtained. As an example of application, we give some new upper and lower bounds for the exponential function…

We present here a large collection of harmonic and quadratic harmonic sums, that can be useful in applied questions, e.g., probabilistic ones. We find closed-form formulae, that we were not able to locate in the literature.

Harmonic functions $u:{\mathbb R}^n \to {\mathbb R}^m$ are equivalent to integral manifolds of an exterior differential system with independence condition $(M,{\mathcal I},\omega)$. To this system one associates the space of conservation…

In the present paper we introduce the notion of harmonicity modulus and harmonicity K-functional and apply these notions to prove a Jackson type theorem for approximation of continuous functions by polyharmonic functions. For corresponding…
