In this paper, we prove the convexity of trace functionals $$(A,B,C)\mapsto \text{Tr}|B^{p}AC^{q}|^{s},$$ for parameters $(p,q,s)$ that are best possible, where $B$ and $C$ are any $n$-by-$n$ positive definite matrices, and $A$ is any…

For logarithmically divergent one-loop lattice Feynman integrals I(p,a), subject to mild general conditions, we prove the following expected and crucial structural result: I(p,a) = f(p)log(aM)+g(p)+h(p,M) up to terms which vanish for…

Given an F-sigma-delta subset A of the real line R of Lebesgue measure zero, we construct a monotone absolutely continuous function f from R to R such that the little Lipschitz constant of f is equal to infinity exactly at points of A.

We first propose two conjectural estimates on Diophantine approximation of logarithms of algebraic numbers. Next we discuss the state of the art and we give further partial results on this topic.

Let $p>2$ be prime and $g$ a primitive root modulo $p$. We present an argument for the fact that discrete logarithms of the numbers in any arithmetic progression are uniformly distributed in $[1,p]$ and raise some questions on the subject.

We prove the following results: let x,y be (n,n) complex matrices such that x,y,xy have no eigenvalue in ]-infinity,0] and log(xy)=log(x)+log(y). If n=2, or if n>2 and x,y are simultaneously triangularizable, then x,y commute. In both cases…

The bivariate series $\theta (q,x):=\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$ defines a {\em partial theta function}. For fixed $q$, $\theta (q,.)$ is an entire function. We show that for $|q|\leq 0.108$ the function $\theta (q,.)$ has no…

We consider logarithmic averages, over friable integers, of non-negative multiplicative functions. Under logarithmic, one-sided or two-sided hypotheses, we obtain sharp estimates that improve upon known results in the literature regarding…

In the present paper, we give two new proofs for the necessary and sufficient condition $\alpha\le1$ such that the function $x^\alpha[\ln x-\psi(x)]$ is completely monotonic on $(0,\infty)$.

We discuss the inequalities for $q$-integrals because of the fact that the inequalities can be very useful in the future mathematical research. Since $q$-integral of a function over an interval $[a,b]$ is defined by the difference of two…

We prove a continued fraction expansion for a certain $q$-tangent function that was conjectured by the present writer, then proved by Fulmek, now in a completely elementary way.

In this work we study complete asymptotic expansions for the q-series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^{b}}q^{n^{a}}$ and $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\sigma_{\alpha}(n)}{n^{b}}q^{n^{a}}$ in the scale function $(\log q)^{n}$ as $q\to1^{-}$,…

We evaluate some finite and infinite sums involving $q$-trigonometric and $q$-digamma functions. Upon letting $q$ approach $1$, one obtains corresponding sums for the classical trigonometric and the digamma functions. Our key argument is a…

We give a new heuristic for all of the main terms in the integral moments of various families of primitive L-functions. The results agree with previous conjectures for the leading order terms. Our conjectures also have an almost identical…

Let $\alpha>0$ be a constant, let $\ell\ge0$ be an integer, and let $\Gamma(z)$ denote the classical Euler gamma function. With the help of the integral representation for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(z)$, by virtue of a monotonicity…

We study the stationary Stokes system with variable coefficients in the whole space, a half space, and on bounded Lipschitz domains. In the whole and half spaces, we obtain a priori $\dot W^1_q$-estimates for any $q\in [2,\infty)$ when the…

In this paper we derive some asymptotic formulas for the $q$-Gamma function $\Gamma_{q}(z)$ for $q$ tending to 1.

We consider the conjecture of Brutman and Pasow on a totality divided differences and prove the conjecture for continuous functions.

We conjecture a formula for the rational $q,t$-Catalan polynomial $\mathcal{C}_{r/s}$ that is symmetric in $q$ and $t$ by definition. The conjecture posits that $\mathcal{C}_{r/s}$ can be written in terms of symmetric monomial strings…

We investigate conditions for logarithmic complete monotonicity of a quotient of two products of gamma functions, where the argument of each gamma function has different scaling factor. We give necessary and sufficient conditions in terms…
