Let $V$ be society whose members express preferences about two alternatives, indifference included. Identifying anonymous binary social choice functions with binary functions $f=f(k,m)$ defined over the integer triangular grid $G=\{(k,m)\in…

It is shown that, if nu >= 1/2 then the generalized Marcum Q function Q_nu(a, b) is log-concave in 0<=b <infty. This proves a conjecture of Sun, Baricz and Zhou (2010). We also point out relevant results in the statistics literature.

Let $\mathtt{PRIMES}$ be the set of all primes. We show that a multiplicative function which satisfies \[ f(p+q-2) = f(p) + f(q) - f(2) \text{ for }p,q \in \mathtt{PRIMES} \] is one of the following: \begin{enumerate} \item $f$ is the…

Invertible map equivalences are approximations of graph isomorphism that refine the well-known Weisfeiler-Leman method. They are parametrised by a number k and a set Q of primes. The intuition is that two graphs G and H which are equivalent…

Under very general conditions it is shown that if $A$ is a uniform algebra generated by real-analytic functions, then either $A$ consists of all continuous functions or else there exists a disc on which every function in $A$ is holomorphic.…

A banded matrix is a real square matrix where nonzero entries appear around the main diagonal. In this article, we consider linear complementarity properties of (variants) of banded matrices. Focusing on triangular matrices and the newly…

We determine the {\em real} counting function $N(q)$ ($q\in [1,\infty)$) for the hypothetical "curve" $C=\overline {\Sp \Z}$ over $\F_1$, whose corresponding zeta function is the complete Riemann zeta function. Then, we develop a theory of…

In this paper, inspired by the elegant work of Good and Meddaugh \cite{GM} and the graph models for zero-dimensional systems developed by several authors, like Gambaudo and Martens \cite{GM06}, Shimomura \cite{Sh14}. We try to discover a…

Let $f$ be a multiplicative function which satisfies \[ f(a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2) = f(a^2+b^2)+f(c^2+d^2) \] for positive integers $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$. We show that $f$ is the identity function provided that $f(3)\,f(11) \ne 0$. Otherwise,…

In this paper, we study matrix valued positive definite functions on a unimodular group. We generalize two important results of Godement on square integrable positive definite functions to matrix valued square integrable positive definite…

We study one variable meromorphic functions mapping a planar real algebraic set $A$ to another real algebraic set in the complex plane. By using the theory of Schwarz reflection functions, we show that for certain $A$, these meromorphic…

We consider the partial theta function $\theta (q,z):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}z^j$, where $z\in \mathbb{C}$ is a variable and $q\in \mathbb{C}$, $0<|q|<1$, is a parameter. Set $D(a):=\{ q\in \mathbb{C}$, $0<|q|\leq a$, $\arg (q)\in…

We define the algebra of Colombeau generalized functions on a subset A of the space of d-dimensional generalized points. If the domain A is open, such generalized functions can be identified with pointwise maps from A into the ring of…

A finite number of rational functions are compatible if they satisfy the compatibility conditions of a first-order linear functional system involving differential, shift and q-shift operators. We present a theorem that describes the…

Let $\mathbb N$ be the set of positive integers, and denote by $\lambda(A)=\inf\{t>0:\sum_{a\in A} a^{-t}<\infty\}$ the convergence exponent of $A\subset\mathbb N$. For $0<q\le 1$, $0\le q\le 1$, respectively, the admissible ideals…

We prove a q-identity in the dendriform dialgebra of colored free quasi-symmetric functions. For q=1, we recover identities due to Ebrahimi-Fard, Manchon, and Patras, in particular the noncommutative Bohnenblust-Spitzer identity.

We prove that all the zeros of certain meromorphic functions are on the critical line $\text{Re}(s)=1/2$, and are simple (except possibly when $s=1/2$). We prove this by relating the zeros to the discrete spectrum of an unbounded…

By using Liu's $q$-partial differential equations theory, we prove that if an analytic function in several variables satisfies a system of $q$-partial differential equations, if and only if it can be expanded in terms of homogeneous…

We study properties of the quantale spectrum Max A of an arbitrary unital C*-algebra A. In particular we show that the spatialization of Max A with respect to one of the notions of spatiality in the literature yields the locale of closed…

We study the dynamics of the one-dimensional quasi-affine map $x\mapsto \left\lfloor \lambda x +\mu \right\rfloor$, providing a complete description of the map's periodic points, and of the limit points of every $x\in\mathbb{R}$ under the…
