We show that analytic analogs of Brunn-Minkowski-type inequalities fail for functional intrinsic volumes on convex functions. This is demonstrated both through counterexamples and by connecting the problem to results of Colesanti, Hug, and…

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…

Investigating for interior regularity of viscosity solutions to the fully nonlinear elliptic equation $$F(x,u,\triangledown u,\triangledown ^2 u)=0,$$ we establish the interior $C^{1+1}$ continuity under the assumptions that $F$ is…

Let $f$ be a smooth real function with strictly monotone first $k$ derivatives. We show that for a finite set $A$, with $|A+A|\leq K|A|$, $|2^kf(A)-(2^k-1)f(A)|\gg_k |A|^{k+1-o(1)}/K^{O_k(1)}$. We deduce several new sum-product type…

We show that a problem by Yau can not be true in general. The counterexamples are constructed based on the recent work of Wu and Zheng.

In this paper we study the right differentiability of a parametric infimum function over a parametric set defined by equality constraints. We present a new theorem with sufficient conditions for the right differentiability with respect to…

The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the necessary conditions for unitarity of the spectrum of non-compact gauged WZNW models to some depth. In particular, we would like to investigate the necessity of integer weights and…

Recently Nikodem, Rajba and W\k{a}sowicz compared the classes of n-Wright-convex functions and n-Jensen-convex functions by showing that the first one is a proper subclass of the latter one, whenever n is an odd natural number. Till now the…

We show that Newton's method converges globally at a linear rate for objective functions whose Hessians are stable. This class of problems includes many functions which are not strongly convex, such as logistic regression. Our linear…

Here we answer a conjecture by Ron Graham about getting finer upper bounds for van der Waerden numbers in the affirmative, but without the application of double induction or combinatorics as applied to sets of integers that contain some van…

A classical argument was introduced by Khintchine in 1926 in order to exhibit the existence of totally irrational singular linear forms in two variables. This argument was subsequently revisited and extended by many authors. For instance,…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ denote the class of analytic and univalent ({\it i.e.}, one-to-one) functions $ f(z)= z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_n z^n$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in \mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$. For $f\in \mathcal{S}$, In 1999, Ma proposed the…

The Grassmann convexity conjecture gives a conjectural formula for the maximal total number of real zeros of the consecutive Wronskians of an arbitrary fundamental solution to a disconjugate linear ordinary differential equation with real…

Let $(r_k)$ be an increasing sequence and $(w_k)$ a positive sequence. We study the following question: is it true that for every sequence $(a_k)$ satisfying $\sum_{k=0}^\infty |a_k|^2 w_k^2 < \infty$ there exists a function $f\in…

We explore and generalize a Cauchy-Schwarz-type inequality originally proved in [Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra 35, 156-180 (2019)]: $\|\mathbf{v}^2\|\|\mathbf{w}^2\| - \langle\mathbf{v}^2,\mathbf{w}^2\rangle \leq…

For the functions $f$, which can be represented in the form of the convolution $f(x)=\frac{a_{0}}{2}+\frac{1}{\pi}\int\limits_{-\pi}^{\pi}\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}e^{-\alpha k^{r}}\cos(kt-\frac{\beta\pi}{2})\varphi(x-t)dt$,…

In this note we prove that for all $a \in \mathbb{N}$, $x \in \mathbb{R}_+ \cup \{0\}$, and $s \in \mathbb{C}$ with $\Re(s) > a + 2$, the (alternating) weighted series of the Hurwitz zeta function, $$ \sum_{k \geq 1} (\pm 1)^k (k +…

Given a function $f$ defined on a nonempty and convex subset of the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, we prove that if $f$ is bounded from below and it satisfies a convexity-type functional inequality with infinite convex combinations, then…

In [B1, Theorem 2.36] we proved the equivalence of six conditions on a continuous function f on an interval. These conditions define a subset of the set of operator convex functions, whose elements are called strongly operator convex. Two…

The quasi-variational inequalities play a significant role in analyzing a wide range of real-world problems. However, these problems are more complicated to solve than variational inequalities as the constraint set is based on the current…
