In this note we find optimal one-sided majorants of exponential type for the signum function subject to certain monotonicity conditions. As an application, we use these special functions to obtain a simple Fourier analysis proof of the…
In two preceding articles, we studied the problem of the existence and uniqueness of a solution to some general BSDE on manifolds. In these two articles, we assumed some Lipschitz conditions on the drift $f(b,x,z)$. The purpose of this…
In many classification tasks there is a requirement of monotonicity. Concretely, if all else remains constant, increasing (resp. decreasing) the value of one or more features must not decrease (resp. increase) the value of the prediction.…
In the paper, we present a monotonicity result of a function involving the gamma function and the logarithmic function, refine a double inequality for the gamma function, and improve some known results for bounding the gamma function.
We deal with monotonic regression of multivariate functions $f: Q \to \mathbb{R}$ on a compact rectangular domain $Q$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where monotonicity is understood in a generalized sense: as isotonicity in some coordinate directions…
We study the problem of estimating a monotone function $f:\{0,1\}^d\to[0,1]$ from noisy observations at uniformly random vertices of the Boolean hypercube. As a measure of complexity for the target~$f$, we use the total $L^1$-influence…
The aim of this paper is to develop analytic techniques to deal with certain monotonicity of combinatorial sequences. (1) A criterion for the monotonicity of the function $\sqrt[x]{f(x)}$ is given, which is a continuous analog for one…
In this article, logarithmically complete monotonicity properties of some functions such as $\frac1{[\Gamma(x+1)]^{1/x}}$, $\frac{[{\Gamma(x+\alpha+1)}]^{1/(x+\alpha)}}{[{\Gamma(x+1)}]^{1/x}}$, $\frac{[\Gamma(x+1)]^{1/x}}{(x+1)^\alpha}$ and…
In this paper, we first investigate the monotonicity and limit problem of the fractional integral functions. By fixed point theorem and these new results of the fractional integral functions, we present that the Riemann-Liouville fractional…
In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions on terms of monotone Fourier coefficients for a function to belong to a Nikol'ski\u{\i}--Besov type class are given.
We give some necessary and some sufficient conditions for the complete monotonicity on the negative half-line of a Mittag-Leffler function of Le Roy type. It is conjectured that the underlying positive random variable, when it exists, must…
In the article, a notion "logarithmically absolutely monotonic function" is introduced, an inclusion that a logarithmically absolutely monotonic function is also absolutely monotonic is revealed, the logarithmically complete monotonicity…
Our main result is the complete set of explicit conditions necessary and sufficient for isochronicity of a Hamiltonian system with one degree of freedom. The conditions are presented in terms of Taylor coefficients of the Hamiltonian…
Let a function $F: [0,1]^2\rightarrow [0,1]$ be given by $F(x,y)= f^{(-1)}(T(f(x), f(y)))$ where $f :[0,1]\rightarrow [0,1]$ is a monotone function, $f^{(-1)}$ is the pseudo-inverse of $f$ and $T$ is a triangular norm. This article…
In this note we consider a collection C of one parameter families of unimodal maps of [0,1]. Each family in the collection has the form uf where u is in [0,1]. Denoting the kneading sequence of uf by K(uf), we will prove that for each…
Given two continuous functions $f,g:I\to\mathbb{R}$ such that $g$ is positive and $f/g$ is strictly monotone, a measurable space $(T,A)$, a measurable family of $d$-variable means $m: I^d\times T\to I$, and a probability measure $\mu$ on…
In this work we prove that if an entire function $f(z)$ is of order strictly less than one and it has only negative zeros, then for each nonnegative integer $k,m$ the real function…
We show that for a convex function the following, rather modest conditions, are equivalent to monotonicity under local operations and classical communication. The conditions are: 1)invariance under local unitaries, 2) invariance under…
In this note our aim is to deduce some new monotonicity properties for a special combination of Bessel functions of the first kind by using a recently developed Mittag-Leffler expansion for the derivative of a normalized Bessel function of…
We prove a montonicity property of the new basis of C[(Z/2)^D]. We also study the matrix coefficients of the Fourier transform with respect to the new basis and formulate a conjecture for them.
