We prove a matrix trace inequality for completely monotone functions and for Bernstein functions. As special cases we obtain non-trivial trace inequalities for the power function x->x^q, which for certain values of q complement McCarthy's…

Permutation Matrices are a well known class of matrices which encode the elements of the symmetric group on $d$ elements as a square $d\times d$ matrix. Motivated by [4], we define a similar class of matrices which are a generalization of…

We establish an identity for E f (Y) -E f (X), when X and Y both have matrix variateskew-normal distributions and the function f fulfills some weak conditions. Thecharacteristic function of matrix variate skew normal distribution is then…

We consider the Schwarzian derivative $S_f$ of a complex polynomial $f$ and its iterates. We show that the sequence $S_{f^n}/d^{2n}$ converges to $-2(\partial G_f)^2$, for $G_f$ the escape-rate function of $f$. As a quadratic differential,…
