Given a $C^{1,1}_\mathrm{loc}$ lower bounded function $f:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ definable in an o-minimal structure on the real field, we show that the singular perturbation $\epsilon \searrow 0$ in the heavy ball system…

We study the space $H(\SO)$ of all homomorphisms of the vector lattice of all slowly oscillating functions on the half-line $\HH=[0,\infty)$. In contrast to the case of homomorphisms of uniformly continuous functions, it is shown that a…

Motivated by results of Figalli and Jerison and Hern\'andez, we prove the following formula: \begin{equation*} \lim_{\epsilon\to 0^+}\frac{1}{|\ln{\epsilon}|}\big\|\eta_\epsilon*u\big\|^q_{W^{1/q,q}(\Omega)}=…

We exhibit a class of "relatively curved" $\vec{\gamma}(t) := (\gamma_1(t),\dots,\gamma_n(t))$, so that the pertaining multi-linear maximal function satisfies the sharp range of H\"{o}lder exponents, \[ \left\| \sup_{r > 0} \ \frac{1}{r}…

We prove that, if $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is an open bounded starshaped domain of class $C^2$, the constancy over $\partial \Omega$ of the function $$\varphi(y) = \int_0^{\lambda(y)} \prod_{j=1}^{n-1}[1-t \kappa_j(y)]\, dt$$ implies…

We generalize the classical Hardy and Faber-Krahn inequalities to arbitrary functions on a convex body $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, not necessarily vanishing on the boundary $\partial \Omega$. This reduces the study of the Neumann…

In the paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for a function involving a ratio of gamma functions to be logarithmically completely monotonic. This extends and generalizes the main result in [\emph{Inequalities and…

We introduce the notion of characteristic functions for commuting tuples of hypercontractions on Hilbert spaces, as a generalization of the notion of Sz.-Nagy and Foias characteristic functions of contractions. We present an explicit method…

Let $I$ be a homogeneous ideal in the polynomial ring $R = k[z_1, \cdots, z_n]$ , where $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Macaulay's Theorem provides constraints on the Hilbert function of $I$ or $R/I$ from one…

In this paper we generalize the classical theorems of Brown and Halmos about algebraic properties of Toeplitz operators to Bergman spaces over the unit ball in several complex variables. A key result, which is of independent interest, is…

Let $G$ be a finite-dimensional vector space over a prime field $\mathbb{F}_p$ with some subspaces $H_1, \dots, H_k$. Let $f \colon G \to \mathbb{C}$ be a function. Generalizing the notion of Gowers uniformity norms, Austin introduced…

Some subadditivity results involving symmetric (unitarily invariant) norms are obtained. For instance, if $g(t)=\sum_{k=0}^m a_kt^k$ is a polynomial of degree $m$ with non-negative coefficients, then, for all positive operators $A,\,B$ and…

Let $\Omega$ be an unbounded open subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$, $n \ge 2$, and $A : \Omega \times {\mathbb R}^n \to {\mathbb R}^n$ be a function such that $$ C_1 |\zeta|^p \le \zeta A (x, \zeta), \quad |A (x, \zeta)| \le C_2 |\zeta|^{p-1} $$…

This short but self-contained survey presents a number of elegant matrix/operator inequalities for general convex or concave functions, obtained with a unitary orbit technique. Jensen, sub or super-additivity type inequalities are…

Here is a sample of the results proved in this paper: Let $f:{\bf R}\to {\bf R}$ be a continuous function, let $\rho>0$ and let $\omega:[0,\rho[\to [0,+\infty[$ be a continuous increasing function such that $\lim_{\xi\to…

We determine those norms on B(H) whose unit ball is C*-convex. We call them M-norms and show that the class of M-norms less than a given norm enjoys a maximum element. These minimum and maximum elements will be determined in some cases.…

A normalized univalent function is uniformly convex if it maps every circular arc contained in the open unit disk with center in it into a convex curve. This article surveys recent results on the class of uniformly convex functions and on…

For a large class of unitarily invariant reproducing kernel functions $K$ on the unit ball $\mathbb B_d$ in $\mathbb C^d$, we characterize the $K$-inner functions on $\mathbb B_d$ as functions admitting a suitable transfer function…

We give a sufficient and necessary condition for an analytic function $f(z)$ on the unit ball $\BB$ in $\CC^n$ with Hadamard gaps, that is, for $f(z)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty P_{n_k}(z)$ where $P_{n_k}(z)$ is a homogeneous polynomial of degree…

Absolute continuity implies uniform continuity, but generally not vice versa. In this short note, we present one sufficient condition for a uniformly continuous function to be absolutely continuous, which is the following theorem: For a…
