In this paper we prove a partial $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity result in dimension $N=2$ for the optimal $p$-compliance problem, extending for $p\not = 2$ some of the results obtained by A. Chambolle, J. Lamboley, A. Lemenant, E. Stepanov…

For $p\in (1,\infty)$ and $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$, we consider measurable functions $g$ on $\mathbb{S}^{N-1}$ that satisfy the following weighted Hardy inequality: \begin{equation}\label{abs} \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}\frac{ g…
In the note, the functions $\abs{\psi^{(i)}(e^x)}$ for $i\in\mathbb{N}$ are proved to be sub-additive on $(\ln\theta_i,\infty)$ and super-additive on $(-\infty,\ln\theta_i)$, where $\theta_i\in(0,1)$ is the unique root of equation…
We study positive solutions to the problem $-\Delta_p u + \vartheta |\nabla u|^q = \frac{1}{u^\gamma} + f(u)$ in $\mathbb{R}^N_+$ with the zero Dirichlet boundary condition, where $p>1$, $\gamma>0$, $0<q\le p$, $\vartheta\ge0$ and…
It is shown that the only functionals, within a natural class, which are monotonic in time for all solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations admitting a smooth ``piece'' of conformal null infinity Scri, are those depending on the metric…
We mainly establish a monotonicity property between some special Riemann sums of a convex function $f$ on $[a,b]$, which in particular yields that $\frac{b-a}{n+1}\sum_{i=0}^n f\left(a+i\frac{b-a}{n}\right)$ is decreasing while…
The authors establish the necessary and sufficient conditions under which certain combinations of Gaussian hypergeometric function and elementary function are monotone in the parameter, which generalize the recent results of generalized…
Extending previous analyses on function classes like linear functions, we analyze how the simple (1+1) evolutionary algorithm optimizes pseudo-Boolean functions that are strictly monotone. Contrary to what one would expect, not all of these…
This article presents in a self-contained way A. Uhlmann's celebrated Theorem of monotonicity of the relative entropy under completely positive and trace preserving maps. The Theorem is presented in its more general form and meaningful…
Motivated by the work of Alzer and Richards \cite{ar}, here authors study the monotonicity and convexity properties of the function $$\Delta_{p,q} (r) = \frac{{E_{p,q}(r) - \left( {r'} \right)^p K_{p,q}(r) }}{{r^p }} - \frac{{E'_{p,q}(r) -…
In this paper, we introduce and study the weighted $\alpha$-subharmonic measure associated with a weight function $\psi$, extending the usual $\alpha$-subharmonic measure and reducing to it when $\psi \equiv -1$. Furthermore, we study the…
Problems in econometrics, insurance, reliability engineering, and statistics quite often rely on the assumption that certain functions are non-decreasing. To satisfy this requirement, researchers frequently model the underlying phenomena…
We define $\overline{\psi}$ to be the multiplicative arithemtic function that satisfies \[\overline{\psi}(p^{\alpha})=\begin{cases} p^{\alpha-1}(p+1), & \mbox{if } p\neq 2; \\ p^{\alpha-1}, & \mbox{if } p=2 \end{cases}\] for all primes $p$…
An important tool to quantify the likeness of two probability measures are f-divergences, which have seen widespread application in statistics and information theory. An example is the total variation, which plays an exceptional role among…
Under the assumption that the approximating function $\psi$ is monotonic, the classical Khintchine-Groshev theorem provides an elegant probabilistic criterion for the Lebesgue measure of the set of $\psi$-approximable matrices in $\R^{mn}$.…
Assume that $f$ is Dunkl polyharmonic in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (i.e. $(\Delta_h)^p f=0$ for some integer $p$, where $\Delta_h$ is the Dunkl Laplacian associated to a root system $R$ and to a multiplicity function $\kappa$, defined on $R$ and…
We present some monotonicity results for Dirichlet $L$-functions associated to real primitive characters. We show in particular that these Dirichlet $L$-functions are far from being logarithmically completely monotonic. Also, we show that,…
We propose analogs of the classical Generalized Riemann Hypothesis and the Generalized Simplicity Conjecture for the characteristic p L-series associated to function fields over a finite field. These analogs are based on the use of absolute…
