We improve the classical discrete Hardy inequality for $ 1<p<\infty $ for functions on the natural numbers. For integer values of $ p $ the Hardy weight is an absolutely monotonic function.
We derive properties of $\pi(x)$ reminiscent of those of the logarithm and absolute value functions. Two of these properties are similar to the relations defining the linearity of a function. Several applications of these properties of…
We obtain asymptotic results for well known summatory arithmetic functions, such as $\psi(x),$ and establish connections to new summatory functions. A new Volterra integral equation is offered, which is solved by summatory arithmetic…
We characterize the complete monotonicity of the Kilbas-Saigo function on the negative half-line. We also provide the exact asymptotics at $-\infty$, and uniform hyperbolic bounds are derived. The same questions are addressed for the…
The purpose of this paper is to study various monotonicity conditions of the period function $T(c)$ (energy-dependent) for potential systems $\ddot x + g(x)=0$ with a center at the origin 0. We had before identified a family of new criteria…
We consider the following question: if a function of the form $\int_0^{\infty}\varphi(t)\, e^{-xt}dt$ is completely monotonic, is it then $\varphi\ge0$? It turns out that the question is related to a moment problem. In the end we apply…
We propose a new framework for imposing monotonicity constraints in a Bayesian nonparametric setting based on numerical solutions of stochastic differential equations. We derive a nonparametric model of monotonic functions that allows for…
The harmonic numbers and generalized harmonic numbers appear frequently in many diverse areas such as combinatorial problems, many expressions involving special functions in analytic number theory and analysis of algorithms. The aim of this…
In the paper, the author establishes inequalities, monotonicity, convexity, and unimodality for functions concerning the modified Bessel functions of the first kind and compute the completely monotonic degrees of differences between the…
In this paper, we obtain some Simpson type inequalities for functions whose derivatives in absolute value are $\varphi$-convex.
We prove several sharp distortion and monotonicity theorems for spherically convex functions defined on the unit disk involving geometric quantities such as spherical length, spherical area and total spherical curvature. These results can…
We introduce completely monotonic functions of order $r>0$ and show that the remainders in asymptotic expansions of the logarithm of Barnes double gamma function and Euler's gamma function give rise to completely monotonic functions of any…
The purpose of this paper is to study the Schwarz-Pick type inequalities for harmonic or pluriharmonic functions. By analogy with the generalized Khavinson conjecture, we first give some sharp estimates of the norm of harmonic functions…
In this article we derive some polynomial inequalities for Mertens functions.
The logarithm function and the exponential function are, by nature, base dependent. Thus, in this paper I introduces an arbitrary base in the logarithm and exponential functions, both dependent on $q$, in order to have $\log_a(x;q)$ and…
Recently, it has been shown by Ighachanea and Akkouchia \cite{0.1} that using binomial coefficients, one can derive some new refinements of Holder's inequalities. This inequalities then can be applied to a wide class of special functions…
The generalized Marcum functions $Q_{\mu}(x,y)$ and $P_{\mu}(x,y)$ have as particular cases the non-central $\chi^2$ and gamma cumulative distributions, which become central distributions (incomplete gamma function ratios) when the…
In this paper we show how the superquadratic functions can be used as a tool for researching other types of convex functions like $\phi $-convexity, strong-convexity and uniform convexity. We show how to use inequalities satisfied by…
We improve our previous generalizations to Arsove's and Ko\lodziej's and Thorbi\"ornson's results concerning the subharmonicity of a function subharmonic with respect to the first variable and harmonic with respect to the second.
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…
