Monotonicity properties of the ratio $$ \log \frac{f(x+a_1)\cdots f(x+a_n)}{f(x+b_1)\cdots f(x+b_n)}, $$ where $f$ is an entire function are investigated. Earlier results for Euler's gamma function and other entire functions of genus 1 are…
In this article, we characterize completely alternating functions on an abelian semigroup $S$ in terms of completely monotone functions on the product semigroup $S\times \mathbb Z_+$. We also discuss completely alternating sequences induced…
In the paper, by convolution theorem of the Laplace transforms, a monotonicity rule for the ratio of two Laplace transforms, Bernstein's theorem for completely monotonic functions, and other analytic techniques, the authors verify…
This work is about the synchronization of nonlinear coupled dynamical systems driven by $\alpha$-stable noise. Firstly, we provide a novel technique to construct the relationship between synchronized system and slow-fast system. Secondly,…
We study a nonlinear, nonlocal eigenvalue problem driven by the fractional p-Laplacian with an indefinite, singular weight chosen in an optimal class. We prove the existence of an unbounded sequence of positive variational eigenvalues and…
In this paper the incomplete gamma function $\gamma(\alpha,x)$ and its derivative is considered for negative values of $\alpha $ and the incomplete gamma type function $\gamma_*(\alpha,x_-)$ is introduced. Further the polygamma functions…
In this paper we develop the p-thinness and the p-fine topology for the asymptotic behavior of p-superharmonic functions at singular points. We consider these as extensions of earlier works on superharmonic functions in dimension 2, on the…
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.
In this paper we give some conditions for a class of functions related to Bessel functions to be positive definite or strictly positive definite . We present some properties and relationships involving logarithmically completely monotonic…
We give a $\mathrm{poly}(\log n, 1/\epsilon)$-query adaptive algorithm for testing whether an unknown Boolean function $f: \{-1,1\}^n \to \{-1,1\}$, which is promised to be a halfspace, is monotone versus $\epsilon$-far from monotone. Since…
We present some completely monotonic functions involving the $q$-gamma function that are inspired by their analogues involving the gamma function.
We prove the complete monotonicity on $(0,\infty)^n$ for suitable inverse powers of the spanning-tree polynomials of graphs and, more generally, of the basis generating polynomials of certain classes of matroids. This generalizes a result…
Many commonly used test statistics are based on a norm measuring the evidence against the null hypothesis. To understand how the choice of a norm affects power properties of tests in high dimensions, we study the consistency sets of…
We find uniform with respect to parameter $p \ (1\leq p\leq\infty)$ upper estimations of best approximations by trigonometric polynomials of classes $C^{\psi}_{\beta,p}$ of periodic functions generated by sequences $\psi(k)$, that decrease…
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…
If $\sigma$ is a symmetric mean and $f$ is an operator monotone function on $[0, \infty)$, then $$f(2(A^{-1}+B^{-1})^{-1})\le f(A\sigma B)\le f((A+B)/2).$$ Conversely, Ando and Hiai showed that if $f$ is a function that satisfies either one…
Many trace inequalities can be expressed either as concavity/convexity theorems or as monotonicity theorems. A classic example is the joint convexity of the quantum relative entropy which is equivalent to the Data Processing Inequality. The…
Let $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ be an i.i.d. sample from symmetric stable distribution with stability parameter $\alpha$ and scale parameter $\gamma$. Let $\varphi_n$ be the empirical characteristic function. We prove an uniform large deviation…
We continue the program initiated in \cite{SVGS}. In this paper, we focus on the infinite $d-$regular tree, and prove the monotonicity of a weighted Dirichlet energy, a Weiss-type monotonicity formula, and a generalization of the Almgren…
We produce trigonometric expansions for Jacobi theta functions\\ $\theta_j(u,\tau), j=1,2,3,4$\ where $\tau=i\pi t, t > 0$. This permits us to prove that\ $\log \frac{\theta_j(u, t)}{\theta_j(0, t)}, j=2,3,4$ and $\log \frac{\theta_1(u,…
