In 1993 one of the authors formulated some conjectures on monotonicity of ratios for exponential series sections. They lead to more general conjecture on monotonicity of ratios of Kummer hypergeometric functions and was not proved from…
In this paper we prove monotonicity of some ratios of $q$--Kummer confluent hypergeometric and $q$--hypergeometric functions. The results are also closely connected with Tur\'an type inequalities. In order to obtain main results we apply…
We prove a conjecture of Cuttler et al.~[2011] [A. Cuttler, C. Greene, and M. Skandera; \emph{Inequalities for symmetric means}. European J. Combinatorics, 32(2011), 745--761] on the monotonicity of \emph{normalized Schur functions} under…
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…
In 2017, He [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 145 (2017), 501--508] established two spuercongruences on truncated hypergeometric series and further proposed two related conjectures. Subsequently, Liu [Results Math. 72 (2017), 2057--2066] extended…
In this paper we investigate the monotonicity properties related to the ratio of gamma functions, from which some related asymptotics and inequalities are established. Some special cases also confirm the conjectures of C.-P. Chen…
Investigation of the generalized trigonometric and hyperbolic functions containing two parameters has been a very active research area over the last decade. We believe, however, that their monotonicity and convexity properties with respect…
We find two-sided inequalities for the generalized hypergeometric function of the form ${_{q+1}}F_{q}(-x)$ with positive parameters restricted by certain additional conditions. Both lower and upper bounds agree with the value of…
In upcoming papers by Conrey, Farmer and Zirnbauer there appear conjectural formulas for averages, over a family, of ratios of products of shifted L-functions. In this paper we will present various applications of these ratios conjectures…
We develop techniques to deal with monotonicity of sequences z_{n+1}/z_n and \sqrt[n]{z_n}. A series of conjectures of Zhi-Wei Sun and of Amdeberhan et al. are verified in certain unified approaches.
We provide a geometric proof of the Schubert calculus interpretation of the Horn conjecture, and show how the saturation conjecture follows from it. The geometric proof gives a strengthening of Horn and saturation conjectures. We also…
We develop $L$-functions ratios conjecture with one shift in the numerator and denominator in certain ranges for the family of cubic Hecke $L$-functions of prime moduli over the Eisenstein field using multiple Dirichlet series under the…
We introduce a new method for studying murmurations, based on random matrix theory. With this method, we exhibit murmurations or similar phenomena: assuming ratios conjectures, for elliptic curves ordered by height, quadratic twists of a…
Even though Zaremba's conjecture remains open, Bourgain and Kontorovich solved the problem for a full density subset. Nevertheless, there are only a handful of explicit sequences known to satisfy the strong version of the conjecture, all of…
We provide quantitative and abstract strong convergence results for sequences from a compact metric space satisfying a certain form of \emph{generalized Fej\'er monotonicity} where (1) the metric can be replaced by a much more general type…
This is a detailed survey on the QWEP conjecture and Connes' embedding problem. Most of contents are taken from Kirchberg's paper [Invent. Math. 112 (1993)].
We find sufficient conditions for log-convexity and log-concavity for the functions of the forms $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}(a)_kx^k$, $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}\Gamma(a+k)x^k$ and $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}x^k/(a)_k$. The most useful examples of such functions are…
In this paper, we give three different new proofs of the validity of the geometry conjecture about cycles of projections onto nonempty closed, convex subsets of a Hilbert space. The first uses a simple minimax theorem, which depends on the…
Fej\'er monotonicity is a well-established property often observed in sequences generated by optimization algorithms. In this paper, we study an extension of this property, called Fej\'er* monotonicity, which was initially proposed in [SIAM…
In the abstract of [1] we read: "We obtain so far unproved properties of a ratio involving a classof Hermite and parabolic cylinder functions." However, we explain how some of the main results in that paper were already proved in [2],…
