We formulate conditions on a set of log-concave sequences, under which any linear combination of those sequences is log-concave, and further, of conditions under which linear combinations of log-concave sequences that have been transformed…
Menon's proof of the preservation of log-concavity of sequences under convolution becomes simpler when adapted to 2-sided infinite sequences. Under assumption of log-concavity of two 2-sided infinite sequences, the existence of the…
This paper is devoted to the study of the log-convexity of combinatorial sequences. We show that the log-convexity is preserved under componentwise sum, under binomial convolution, and by the linear transformations given by the matrices of…
In this paper, we investigate the properties of sequences and series under the action of the log-concave operator \(\mathcal{L}\). We explore the relationship between the convergence of a sequence \((a_k)\) and the convergence of sequences…
We review and formulate results concerning log-concavity and strong-log-concavity in both discrete and continuous settings. We show how preservation of log-concavity and strongly log-concavity on $\mathbb{R}$ under convolution follows from…
We introduce the notion of interlacing log-concavity of a polynomial sequence $\{P_m(x)\}_{m\geq 0}$, where $P_m(x)$ is a polynomial of degree m with positive coefficients $a_{i}(m)$. This sequence of polynomials is said to be interlacing…
We show that the large Cartesian powers of any graph have log-concave valencies with respect to a ffxed vertex. We show that the series of valencies of distance regular graphs is log-concave, thus improving on a result of (Taylor,…
In this paper, we provide criteria for the log-concavity of rows and the strong $q$-log-convexity of the generating functions of rows in more generalized triangles. Additionally, we prove that the bi$^s$nomial transformation not only…
A weak asynchronous system is a trace monoid with a partial action on a set. A polygonal morphism between weak asynchronous systems commutes with the actions and preserves the independence of events. We prove that the category of weak…
We show that the sequence of moments of order less than 1 of averages of i.i.d. positive random variables is log-concave. For moments of order at least 1, we conjecture that the sequence is log-convex and show that this holds eventually for…
We disprove a recent conjecture regarding discrete distributions and their generating polynomials stating that strong log-concavity implies log-submodularity.
It is proven that the logarithmic negativity does not increase on average under positive partial transpose preserving (PPT) operation including subselection (a set of operations that incorporate local operations and classical communication…
We show that the likelihood function for a multinomial vector observed under arbitrary interval censoring constraints on the frequencies or their partial sums is completely log-concave by proving that the constrained sample spaces comprise…
A notion of evolutionary $\Gamma$-convergence of weak type is introduced for sequences of operators acting on time-dependent functions. This extends the classical definition of $\Gamma$-convergence of functionals due to De Giorgi. The…
Chen proposed a conjecture on the log-concavity of the generating function for the symmetric group with respect to the length of longest increasing subsequences of permutations. Motivated by Chen's log-concavity conjecture, B\'{o}na,…
Many trace inequalities can be expressed either as concavity/convexity theorems or as monotonicity theorems. A classic example is the joint convexity of the quantum relative entropy which is equivalent to the Data Processing Inequality. The…
A family of random matrices is said to converge strongly to a limiting family of operators if the operator norm of every noncommutative polynomial of the matrices converges to that of the limiting operators. Recent developments surrounding…

We prove a sharp moment inequality for a log-concave or a log-convex function, on Gaussian random vectors. As an application we take a stability result for the classical logarithmic Sobolev inequality of L. Gross in the case where the…
In this paper, we primarily deal with approximately monotone and convex sequences. We start by showing that any sequence can be expressed as the difference between two nondecreasing sequences. One of these two monotone sequences act as the…
