We give sufficient conditions for a positive stochastic matrix to be similar and strong shift equivalent over $\mathbb{R}_+$ to a positive doubly stochastic matrix through matrices of the same size. We also prove that every positive…

In the paper, the authors discover the best constants $\alpha_{1}$, $\alpha_{2}$, $\beta_{1}$, and $\beta_{2}$ for the double inequalities $$ \alpha_{1}\bar{C}(a,b)+(1-\alpha_{1}) A(a,b)< T(a,b) <\beta_{1} \bar{C}(a,b)+(1-\beta_{1})A(a,b)…

For positive semidefinite matrices $A$ and $B$, Ando and Zhan proved the inequalities $||| f(A)+f(B) ||| \ge ||| f(A+B) |||$ and $||| g(A)+g(B) ||| \le ||| g(A+B) |||$, for any unitarily invariant norm, and for any non-negative operator…

For $N\geq 3$, by the seminal paper of Brezis and V\'eron (Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 75(1):1--6, 1980/81), no positive solutions of $-\Delta u+u^q=0$ in $\mathbb R^N\setminus \{0\}$ exist if $q\geq N/(N-2)$; for $1<q<N/(N-2)$ the existence…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions on weights $u_1, u_2, v_1, v_2$, i.e. measurable, positive, and finite, a.e. on $(a,b)$, for which there exists a positive constant $C$ such that for given $0 < p_1,q_1,p_2,q_2 <\infty$ the…

We show that, for Hankel matrices, total nonnegativity (resp. total positivity) of order r is preserved by sum, Hadamard product, and Hadamard power with real exponent t \ge r-2. We give examples to show that our results are sharp relative…

In this paper, we study the function $H(a,b)$, which associates to every pair of positive integers $a$ and $b$ the number of positive integers $c$ such that the triangle of sides $a,b$ and $c$ is Heron, i.e., has integral area. In…

The classical Perron-Frobenius theory asserts that for two matrices $A$ and $B$, if $0\leq B \leq A$ and $r(A)=r(B)$ with $A$ being irreducible, then $A=B$. This was recently extended in Bernik et al. (2012) to positive operators on…

We investigate a rearrangement inequality for pairs of n-square matrices: Let |A\|_p denote the C^p trace norm of an n-square matrix A. Consider the quantity |A+B|_p^p + |A-B|_p^p. Under certain positivity conditions, we show that this is…

It is widely believed that hadronisation leads to 1/Q corrections to e+e- event shapes. We show that there are further corrections, proportional to (ln Q)^A/Q with A=4C_A/beta_0~=1.6, associated with hadron masses and whose relative…

Let $\pi(A)$, $\xi(A)$ and $\nu(A)$, respectively, denote the number of positive, zero and negative eigenvalues of the matrix $A$. Then the triplet $(\pi(A), \xi(A), \nu(A))$ is called the \emph{inertia} of $A$ and is denoted by…

In this article, we prove that the double inequality $$\alpha G(a,b)+(1-\alpha)C(a,b)<M(a,b)<\beta G(a,b)+(1-\beta)C(a,b)$$ holds true for all $a,b>0$ with $a\neq b$ if and only if $\alpha\geq 5/9$ and $\beta\leq…

We establish two inequalities in real inner product spaces. The first is a multiplicative strengthening of the classical Hornich-Hlawka inequality: for all vectors $x, y, z$ in a real inner product space $H$ \[ \|x\|\,\|y\| +…

For $n \times n$ matrices $A$ and $B$ define $$\eta(A,B)=\sum_{S}\det(A[S])\det(B[S']),$$ where the summation is over all subsets of $\{1,..., n\}$, $S'$ is the complement of $S$, and $A[S]$ is the principal submatrix of $A$ with rows and…

We prove that the superlinear indefinite equation \begin{equation*} u" + a(t)u^{p} = 0, \end{equation*} where $p > 1$ and $a(t)$ is a $T$-periodic sign-changing function satisfying the (sharp) mean value condition $\int_{0}^{T} a(t)~\!dt <…

We obtain generalisations of some inequalities for positive unital linear maps on matrix algebra. This also provides several positive semidefinite matrices and we get some old and new inequalities involving the eigenvalues of a Hermitian…

Let $B$ be some invertible Hermitian or skew-Hermitian matrix. A matrix $A$ is called $B$-normal if $AA^\star = A^\star A$ holds for $A$ and its adjoint matrix $A^\star := B^{-1}A^HB$. In addition, a matrix $Q$ is called $B$-unitary, if…

Consider the matrix equation $X+ A^*\widehat{X}^{-1}A=Q$, where $Q$ is an $n \times n$ Hermitian positive definite matrix, $A$ is an $mn\times n$ matrix, and $\widehat{X}$ is the $m\times m$ block diagonal matrix with $X$ on its diagonal.…

Following an idea of Lin, we prove that if $A$ and $B$ be two positive operators such that $0<mI\le A\le m'I\le M'I\le B\le MI$, then \begin{equation*} {{\Phi }^{2}}\left( \frac{A+B}{2} \right)\le \frac{{{K}^{2}}\left( h \right)}{{{\left(…

For a,b>0 with a\not=b, let N(a,b) denote the Neuman-S\'andor mean defined by N(a,b)=((a-b)/(2arcsinh((a-b)/(a+b)))) and A_{r}(a,b) denote the r-order power mean. We present the sharp power means bounds for the Neuman-S\'andor mean:…
