This paper gives a proof of the H\"older Inequality by using supersolutions of the Heat Equation. The proof is based on a monotonicity formula for the heat equation presented in Tobias Colding's lectures at MIT.
I show that the general implicit-function problem (or parametrized fixed-point problem) in one complex variable has an explicit series solution given by a trivial generalization of the Lagrange inversion formula. I give versions of this…
This paper studies two classical inequalities, namely the Hausdorff-Young inequality and equal-exponent Young's convolution inequality, for discrete functions supported in the binary cube $\{0,1\}^d\subset\mathbb{Z}^d$. We characterize the…
We investigate some weighted integer partitions whose generating functions are double-series. We will establish closed formulas for these $q$-double series and deduce that their coefficients are non-negative. This leads to inequalities…
The duality relation of one-variable multiple polylogarithms was proved by Hirose, Iwaki, Sato and Tasaka by means of iterated integrals. In this paper, we give a new proof using the method of connected sums, which was recently invented by…

We study the existence of formal power series solutions to q-algebraic equations. When a solution exists, we give a sufficient condition on the equation for this solution to have a positive radius of convergence. We emphasize on the case…

Maesaka, Seki, and Watanabe recently discovered an equality called the MSW formula. This paper provides a $q$-analogue of the MSW formula. It discusses the new proof of the duality relation for finite multiple harmonic $q$-series at…
With the help of the partial derivative operator and several summation formulas for hypergeometric series, we find three double series for $\pi$. In terms of the operator just stated and several summation formulas for basic hypergeometric…
In this paper, we study the Liouville-type equation \[\Delta ^2 u-\lambda_1\kappa\Delta u+\lambda_2\kappa^2(1-\mathrm e^{4u})=0\] on a closed Riemannian manifold \((M^4,g)\) with \(\operatorname{Ric}\geqslant 3\kappa g\) and \(\kappa>0\).…
We study the equilibrium problem on general Riemannian manifolds. The results on existence of solutions and on the convex structure of the solution set are established. Our approach consists in relating the equilibrium problem to a suitable…
By applying the partial derivative operator to several summation formulas for hypergeometric series, we prove several double series for $\pi$ in this paper. Similarly, we also establish several $q$-analogues of them.
In this paper, we consider a q-analogue of the Borel-Laplace summation where q>1 is a real parameter. In particular, we show that the Borel-Laplace summation of a divergent power series solution of a linear differential equation can be…
Recently Albert and Bousquet-M\'elou \cite{AB15} obtained the solution to the long-standing problem of the number of permutations sortable by two stacks in parallel (tsip). Their solution was expressed in terms of functional equations. We…
