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…

We establish several new $\Omega$-theorems for logarithmic derivatives of the Riemann zeta function and Dirichlet $L$-functions. In particular, this improves on earlier work of Landau (1911), Bohr-Landau (1913), and recent work of Lamzouri.

Motivated by the work of Alzer and Richards \cite{ar}, here authors study the monotonicity and convexity properties of the function $$\Delta_{p,q} (r) = \frac{{E_{p,q}(r) - \left( {r'} \right)^p K_{p,q}(r) }}{{r^p }} - \frac{{E'_{p,q}(r) -…

For $m,n\in\mathbb{N}$, let $f_{m,n}(x)=\bigr[\psi^{(m)}(x)\bigl]^2+\psi^{(n)}(x)$ on $(0,\infty)$. In the present paper, we prove using two methods that, among all $f_{m,n}(x)$ for $m,n\in\mathbb{N}$, only $f_{1,2}(x)$ is nontrivially…

We settle a conjecture of B\'ona regarding the log-concavity of a certain statistic on parking functions by utilizing recent log-concavity results on matroids. This result allows us to also prove that connected, labeled graphs graded by…

We present a proof of the compositional shuffle conjecture, which generalizes the famous shuffle conjecture for the character of the diagonal coinvariant algebra. We first formulate the combinatorial side of the conjecture in terms of…

In this paper, we investigate the uniqueness problem of entire functions that share an entire function with their higher-order difference operators. We obtain two results that confirm the conjectures posed by Liu and Laine \cite{LL1} and by…

In this article, we characterize completely alternating functions on an abelian semigroup $S$ in terms of completely monotone functions on the product semigroup $S\times \mathbb Z_+$. We also discuss completely alternating sequences induced…

Using Talagrand's concentration inequality on the discrete cube {0,1}^m we show that given a real-valued function Z(x)on {0,1}^m that satisfies certain monotonicity conditions one can control the deviations of Z(x) above its median by a…

In this paper we prove the mean values of some multiplicative functions connected with the divisor function on the short interval of summation.

In this paper we establish a function field analogue of a conjecture in number theory which is a combination of several famous conjectures, including the Hardy-Littlewood prime tuple conjecture, conjectures on the number of primes in…

We substantially apply the Li criterion for the Riemann hypothesis to hold. Based upon a series representation for the sequence \{\lambda_k\}, which are certain logarithmic derivatives of the Riemann xi function evaluated at unity, we…

The psi function $\psi(x)$ is defined by $\psi(x)=\frac{\Gamma'(x)}{\Gamma(x)}$ and $\psi^{(i)}(x)$ for $i\in\mathbb{N}$ denote the polygamma functions, where $\Gamma(x)$ is the gamma function. In this paper we prove that a function…

We examine recursive monotonic functions on the Lindenbaum algebra of $\mathsf{EA}$. We prove that no such function sends every consistent $\varphi$ to a sentence with deductive strength strictly between $\varphi$ and…

We consider the almost sure asymptotic behavior of the periodogram of stationary and ergodic sequences. Under mild conditions we establish that the limsup of the periodogram properly normalized identifies almost surely the spectral density…

The work is devoted to the construction of a new type of intervals -- functional intervals. These intervals are built on the idea of expanding boundaries from numbers to functions. Functional intervals have shown themselves to be promising…

We show that the q-Digamma function psi_q for 0<q<1 appears in an iteration studied by Berg and Dur\'an. In addition we determine the probability measure \nu_q with moments 1/\sum_{k=1}^{n+1} (1-q)/(1-q^k), which are q-analogues of the…

We detail a simple procedure (easily convertible to an algorithm) for constructing from quasi-uniform samples of $f$ a sequence of linear spline functions converging to the monotone rearrangement of $f$, in the case where $f$ is an almost…

Given a function $f: (a,b) \rightarrow \mathbb{R},$ L\"owner's theorem states $f$ is monotone when extended to self-adjoint matrices via the functional calculus, if and only if $f$ extends to a self-map of the complex upper half plane. In…

In connection to a conjecture of W. L\"u. Q. Li and C. Yang we prove a result on small function sharing by a power of a meromorphic function with few poles and its derivative. Our results improve a number of known results.
