Positive definite functions are fundamental to many areas of applied mathematics, probability theory, spatial statistics and machine learning, amogst others. Motivated by a problem coming from the maximum likelihood estimation under fixed…

Motivated by various problems in physics and applied mathematics, we look for constraints and properties of real Fourier-positive functions, i.e. with positive Fourier transforms. Properties of the "Dirac comb" distribution and of its…

Numerous results on self-reciprocal polynomials over finite fields have been studied. In this paper we generalize some of these to a-self reciprocal polynomials defined in [4]. We consider some properties of the divisibility of a-reciprocal…

We define and study entanglement of continuous positive definite functions on products of compact groups. We formulate and prove an infinite-dimensional analog of Horodecki Theorem, giving a necessary and sufficient criterion for…

This work is devoted to Lipschitz conditions on bounded harmonic functions on the upper half-space in $\mathbb {R}^n$. Among other results we prove the following one. Let $U(x',x_n)$ be a real-valued bounded harmonic function on the upper…

We give an extension to certain \textit{RD-space} $\X$, i.e space of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman and Weiss, which has the reverse doubling property, of the definition and various properties of the product of functions in…

Isotropic positive definite functions on spheres play important roles in spatial statistics, where they occur as the correlation functions of homogeneous random fields and star-shaped random particles. In approximation theory, strictly…

We give two variations on a result of Wilkie's on unary functions defianble in $\mathbb{R}_{an,\exp}$ that take integer values at positive integers. Provided that the functions grows slower than the function $2^x$, Wilkie showed that is…

This survey is an introduction to positive definite kernels and the set of methods they have inspired in the machine learning literature, namely kernel methods. We first discuss some properties of positive definite kernels as well as…

On any metric space, I provide an intrinsic characterization of those complex-valued functions which are uniform limits of Lipschitz functions. There are applications to function theory on complete Riemannian manifolds and, in particular,…

We define an extension of operator-valued positive definite functions from the real or complex setting to topological algebras, and describe their associated reproducing kernel spaces. The case of entire functions is of special interest,…

We study a positive-definite function associated to a measure-preserving equivalence relation on a standard probability space and use it to measure quantitatively the proximity of subequivalence relations. This is combined with a recent…

We call positive integer n a near-perfect number, if it is sum of all its proper divisors, except of one of them ("redundant divisor"). We prove an Euclid-like theorem for near-perfect numbers and obtain some other results for them.

Characterizations of all continuous, additive and $\mathrm{GL}(n)$-equivariant endomorphisms of the space of convex functions on a Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, of the subspace of convex functions that are finite in a neighborhood of the…

We calculate the fractional Laplacian for functions of the form $u(x)=(1-|x|^2)_+^p$ and $v(x)=x_d u(x)$. As an application, we estimate the first eigenvalues of the fractional Laplacian in a ball.

For a function of a type $ \left| \mathbf{r}_1{+}\ldots {+}\mathbf{r}_{_N} \right|^{-\nu} \in \mathbb{R} $ from the many-dimensional vectors $ \mathbf{r}_s $ in Euclidean space, the successive algebraic approach is the derivation of the…

In this paper we develop a classification of real functions based on growth rates of repeated iteration. We show how functions are naturally distinguishable when considering inverses of repeated iterations. For example, $n+2\to 2n\to 2^n\to…

In this paper, strongly $(\alpha,T)$-convex functions, i.e., functions $f:D\to \R$ satisfying the functional inequality $$ f(tx+(1-t)y)\leq tf(x)+(1-t)f(y)-t\alpha\big((1-t)(x-y)\big)-(1-t)\alpha\big(t(y-x)\big)$$ for $x,y\in D$ and $t\in…

We prove bounds for the covering numbers of classes of convex functions and convex sets in Euclidean space. Previous results require the underlying convex functions or sets to be uniformly bounded. We relax this assumption and replace it…

Under different assumptions on the potential functions $b$ and $c$, we study the fractional equation $\left( I-\Delta \right)^{\alpha} u = \lambda b(x) |u|^{p-2}u+c(x)|u|^{q-2}u$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$. Our existence results are based on compact…
