We deduce new properties of the orbicyclic function $E$ of several variables investigated in a recent paper by V. A. Liskovets. We point out that the function $E$ and its connection to the number of solutions of certain linear congruences…
The purpose of this paper is to study a generalization of strongly $\eta$-convex functions using the fractal calculus developed by Yang \cite{Yang}, namely generalized strongly $\eta$-convex function. Among other results, we obtain some…
The paper is devoted to a comprehensive second-order study of a remarkable class of convex extended-real-valued functions that is highly important in many aspects of nonlinear and variational analysis, specifically those related to…
In this paper, the authors establish some inequalities involving the $q$-extension of the classical Gamma function. These inequalities provide bounds for certain ratios of the $q$-extended Gamma function. The procedure makes use of…
We prove some "power" generalizations of Marcus-Lopes-style (including McLeod and Bullen) concavity inequalities for elementary symmetric polynomials, and convexity inequalities (of McLeod and Baston) for complete homogeneous symmetric…
We continue the analysis in [3] of matrix convex functions of a fixed order defined in a real interval by differential methods as opposed to the characterization in terms of divided differences given by Kraus [5]. We amend and improve some…
In this paper, we consider an unconventional overdetermined problem through a property of concavity, which provides some characterizations of balls via Brunn-Minkowski inequalities. In this setting, our rsults can be viewed as the…
In the present paper, the following convexity principle is proved: any closed convex multifunction, which is metrically regular in a certain uniform sense near a given point, carries small balls centered at that point to convex sets, even…
We continue the development of real noncommutative (nc) convexity, building on the recent and profound complex theory of Davidson and Kennedy. The present paper focuses on the theory of nc extreme points (and pure and maximal points) and…
This paper studies the log-convexity of the extended beta functions. As a consequence, Tur\'an-type inequalities are established.The monotonicity, log-convexity, log-concavity of extended hypergeometric functions are deduced by using the…
In this paper we associate with an infinite family of real extended functions defined on a locally convex space, a sum, called robust sum, which is always well-defined. We also associate with that family of functions a dual pair of problems…
We give a sharp convexity estimate for L-functions which have a functional equation and an Euler product.
A real random variable admits median(s) and quantiles. These values minimize convex functions on $\mathbb R$. We show by "Convex Analysis" arguments that the function to be minimized is very natural. The relationship with some notions about…
Recently Andrews and Bryan [3] discovered a comparison function which allows them to shorten the classical proof of the well-known fact that the curve shortening flow shrinks embedded closed curves in the plane to a round point. Using this…
This is an expository paper, giving a simplified proof of the cubic case of the main conjecture for Vinogradov's mean value theorem.
In the paper, the authors establish an inequality involving exponential functions and sums, introduce a ratio of many gamma functions, discuss properties, including monotonicity, logarithmic convexity, (logarithmically) complete…
We develop a notion of computability and complexity of functions over the reals, which seems to be very natural when one tries to determine just how "difficult" a certain function is. This notion can be viewed as an extension of both BSS…
The aim of this paper is to provide a complete and simple characterization of functions with domain in a topological real vector space whose epigraph is strictly convex.
In the paper we prove criteria for convexity and concavity of $f$-potentials ($f$-means, Kolmogorov means, weighted quasi-arithmetic means), which particular cases are the arithmetic, geometric, harmonic means, the thermodynamic potential…
We give a sufficient condition for the strict parabolic power concavity of the convolution in space variable of a function defined on $\mathbb{R}^n \times (0,+\infty)$ and a function defined on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Since the strict parabolic…
