We prove a lower bound of $\tilde{\Omega}(n^{1/3})$ for the query complexity of any two-sided and adaptive algorithm that tests whether an unknown Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^n\rightarrow \{0,1\}$ is monotone or far from monotone. This…

Let $ f:(0,\infty)\rightarrow \Bbb{R} $ be a completely monotonic function. In this paper, we present some properties of this functions and several new classes of completely monotonic functions. We also give some special functions such that…
In 1974, Gautschi proved an intriguing inequality involving the gamma function $\Gamma$. Precisely, he proved that, for $z>0$, the harmonic mean of $\Gamma(z)$ and $\Gamma(1/z)$ can never be less than 1. In 2017, Alzer and Jameson extended…
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…

Threshold phenomena are investigated using a general approach, following Talagrand [Ann. Probab. 22 (1994) 1576--1587] and Friedgut and Kalai [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 12 (1999) 1017--1054]. The general upper bound for the threshold width of…
In the paper, we establish an inequality involving the gamma and digamma functions and use it to prove the negativity and monotonicity of a function involving the gamma and digamma functions.
Simple upper and lower bounds are obtained for the integral $\int_0^x\mathrm{e}^{-\gamma t}t^\nu I_\nu(t)\,\mathrm{d}t$, $x>0$, $\nu>-\frac{1}{2}$, $0<\gamma<1$. Most of our bounds for this integral are tight as $x\rightarrow\infty$. We…

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…
