Let $m,n$ be positive integers. For all $m\times n$ complex matrices $A, C$ and an $n\times m$ matrix $B$, we define a generalized commutator as $ABC-CBA$. We estimate the Frobenius norm of it, and finally get the inequality, which is a…

We present several operator and norm inequalities for Hilbert space operators. In particular, we prove that if $A_{1},A_{2},...,A_{n}\in {\mathbb B}({\mathscr H})$, then…

In this paper, we apply the Dirichlet convolution method to \begin{equation*} T_{k}(x)=\sum_{n \leq x} d_{k}(n), \end{equation*} for $k\ge 3$, where $d_{k}(n)$ is the number of ways to represent $n$ as a product of $k$ positive integer…

When $s\ge k\ge 3$ and $n_1,\ldots ,n_k$ are large natural numbers, denote by $A_{s,k}(\mathbf n)$ the number of solutions in non-negative integers $\mathbf x$ to the system \[ x_1^j+\ldots +x_s^j=n_j\quad (1\le j\le k). \] Under…

Let $n\geq 3$ be an integer and $p$ be a prime with $p\equiv 1\pmod{n}$. In this paper, we show that $${}_nF_{n-1}\bigg[\begin{matrix} \frac{n-1}{n}&\frac{n-1}{n}&\ldots&\frac{n-1}{n}\\ &1&\ldots&1\end{matrix}\bigg | \, 1\bigg]_{p-1}\equiv…

For $n$-by-$n$ and $m$-by-$m$ complex matrices $A$ and $B$, it is known that the inequality $w(A\otimes B)\le\|A\|w(B)$ holds, where $w(\cdot)$ and $\|\cdot\|$ denote, respectively, the numerical radius and the operator norm of a matrix. In…

The purpose of this paper is to establish several necessary and sufficient conditions to ensure the validity of a general functional inequality in terms of generalized quasi-arithmetic means. In particular cases, we consider H\"older-,…

Let $m$, $r$ and $n$ be positive integers. We denote by ${\bf k}\vdash n$ any tuple of odd positive integers ${\bf k}=(k_1,\dots,k_t)$ such that $k_1+\dots+k_t=n$ and $k_j\ge 3$ for all $j$. In this paper we prove that for every…

We present some reverse Young-type inequalities for the Hilbert-Schmidt norm as well as any unitarily invariant norm. Furthermore, we give some inequalities dealing with operator means. More precisely, we show that if $A, B\in {\mathfrak…

For each positive integer n greater than or equal to 2, a new approach to expressing real numbers as sequences of nonnegative integers is given. The n=2 case is equivalent to the standard continued fraction algorithm. For n=3, it reduces to…

In this note we associate a sequence of non-negative integers to any convergent series of positive real numbers and study this sequence for the series $\sum_{n \geq 1} n^{-k}$ where $k$ is an integer $\geq 2$.

We consider a continuous analogue of Babai et al.'s and Cai et al.'s problem of solving multiplicative matrix equations. Given $k+1$ square matrices $A_{1}, \ldots, A_{k}, C$, all of the same dimension, whose entries are real algebraic, we…

We prove several versions of reverse triangle inequality in Hilbert $C^*$-modules. We show that if $e_1, ..., e_m$ are vectors in a Hilbert module ${\mathfrak X}$ over a $C^*$-algebra ${\mathfrak A}$ with unit 1 such that $<e_i,e_j>=0…

Let $(X_{jk})_{j,k\geq 1}$ be an infinite array of i.i.d. complex random variables, with mean 0 and variance 1. Let $\la_{n,1},...,\la_{n,n}$ be the eigenvalues of $(\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}X_{jk})_{1\leq j,k\leq n}$. The strong circular law…

Let $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and suppose we are given $k$ integers $1 \leq a_1, \dots, a_k \leq n$. If $\sqrt{a_1} + \dots + \sqrt{a_k}$ is not an integer, how close can it be to one? When $k=1$, the distance to the nearest integer is $\gtrsim…

We prove an inequality that complements the famous Araki-Lieb-Thirring (ALT) inequality for positive matrices $A$ and $B$, by giving a lower bound on the quantity $\trace[A^r B^r A^r]^q$ in terms of $\trace[ABA]^{rq}$ for $0\le r\le 1$ and…

Let $A$ be an $n \times n$ random matrix with independent identically distributed non-constant subgaussian entries. Then for any $k \le c \sqrt{n}$, \[ \text{rank}(A) \ge n-k \] with probability at least $1-\exp(-c'kn)$.

Let n>=3 be an odd integer. For any integer a prime to n, define the permutation gamma_{a,n} of {1,...,(n-1)/2} by gamma_{a,n}(x)=n-\dec{ax}_n if {ax}_n>=(n+1)/2, and {ax}_n if {ax}_n<=(n-1)/2, where {x}_n denotes the least nonnegative…

In this paper we study higher-order difference equations which can be written as follows: $$ \mathbf{J} (y_0,y_1,...)^T = \lambda^N (y_0,y_1,...)^T, $$ where $\mathbf{J}$ is a $(2N+1)$-diagonal bounded banded matrix…

The long-standing Gaussian product inequality (GPI) conjecture states that $E [\prod_{j=1}^{n}X_j^{2m_j}]\geq\prod_{j=1}^{n}E[X_j^{2m_j}]$ for any centered Gaussian random vector $(X_1,\dots,X_n)$ and $m_1,\dots,m_n\in\mathbb{N}$. In this…
