The function $G(x)=(1-\ln x /\ln(1+x))x\ln x$ has been considered by Alzer, Qi and Guo. We prove that $G'$ is completely monotonic by finding an integral representation of the holomorphic extension of $G$ to the cut plane. A main difficulty…

In this paper, the logarithmically complete monotonicity property for a functions involving $q$-gamma function is investigated for $q\in(0,1).$ As applications of this results, some new inequalities for the $q$-gamma function are…

It is shown that the only functionals, within a natural class, which are monotonic in time for all solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations admitting a smooth ``piece'' of conformal null infinity Scri, are those depending on the metric…

In this article, we study exponents which preserve complete monotonicity of functions on lattices. We prove that for any completely monotone function $f$ on a finite lattice, $f^\alpha$ is completely monotone for all $\alpha\geq c$, where…

For positive integers $n, d$, consider the hypergrid $[n]^d$ with the coordinate-wise product partial ordering denoted by $\prec$. A function $f: [n]^d \mapsto \mathbb{N}$ is monotone if $\forall x \prec y$, $f(x) \leq f(y)$. A function $f$…

In this paper we study local unitary invariants of a multi-partite quantum state that are monotonic, on average, under local operations and classical communication (locc). In particular we focus on local unitary invariants that are…

The entropy $h(T_\alpha)$ of $\alpha$-continued fraction transformations is known to be locally monotone outside a closed, totally disconnected set $\EE$. We will exploit the explicit description of the fractal structure of $\EE$ to…

Top monotonicity is a relaxation of various well-known domain restrictions such as single-peaked and single-crossing for which negative impossibility results are circumvented and for which the median-voter theorem still holds. We examine…

We use the complexity function of an invariant, not necessary closed, subset of a two-sided shift space to compute the polynomial entropy of the induced dynamics on the hyperspace of continua for certain one-dimensional dynamical systems.…

Verifying lower-semicontinuity of integral functionals in the weak topology of Sobolev spaces is a central theme in the calculus of variations. For integral functionals with $p$-growth, quasiconvexity is a necessary condition for weak…

We study the number of queries needed to identify a monotone Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}$. A query consists of a 0-1-sequence, and the answer is the value of $f$ on that sequence. It is well-known that the number of…
