A seminal result of Nisan and Szegedy (STOC, 1992) shows that for any total Boolean function, the degree of the real polynomial that computes the function, and the minimal degree of a real polynomial that point-wise approximates the…
The most important open problem in Monotone Operator Theory concerns the maximal monotonicity of the sum of two maximal monotone operators provided that Rockafellar's constraint qualification holds. In this note, we provide a new maximal…
Let $(X_{i}, \mathcal{F}_{i})_{i\geq 1}$ be a sequence of supermartingale differences and let $S_k=\sum_{i=1}^k X_i$. We give an exponential moment condition under which $P(\max_{1\leq k \leq n} S_k \geq n)=O(\exp\{-C_1 n^{\alpha}\}),$…
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…
In this paper we present several new classes of logarithmically completely monotonic functions. Our functions have in common that they are defined in terms of the $q-$gamma and $q-$digamma functions. As an applications of this results, some…
We consider convexity and monotonicity properties for some functions related to the $q$-gamma function. As applications, we give a variety of inequalities for the $q$-gamma function, the $q$-digamma function $\psi_q(x)$, and the $q$-series.…

In this note, we present new properties for a sequence arising in some refinements of Carleman's inequality. Our results extend some results of Yang [Approximations for constant e and their applications J. Math. Anal. Appl. 262 (2001)…
We prove explicit uniform two-sided bounds for the phase functions of Bessel functions and of their derivatives. As a consequence, we obtain new enclosures for the zeros of Bessel functions and their derivatives in terms of inverse values…

In this note we prove a condition of monotonicity for the integral functional $ F(g) = \int_a^b h(x)\, d[-g(x)] $ with respect to $g$, a function of bounded variation. This condition is applied to analyze the behavior of a generalized…
In this paper, we focus on the difference analogue of the Stothers-Mason theorem for entire functions of order less than 1, which can be seen as difference $abc$ theorem for entire functions. We also obtain the difference analogue of…

Zeros of Bessel functions $J_\alpha$ play an important role in physics. They are a motivation for studying zeros of exponential polynomials defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, and more generally of $E$-functions. In this paper we…

We consider the classical Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces defined via differences and prove a homogeneity property for functions with bounded support in the frame of these spaces. As the proof is based on compact embeddings between the…

In this note our aim is to point out that certain inequalities for modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind, deduced recently by Laforgia and Natalini, are in fact equivalent to the corresponding Tur\'an type inequalities for…
