Let f_n denote a kernel density estimator of a continuous density f in d dimensions, bounded and positive. Let \Psi(t) be a positive continuous function such that \|\Psi f^{\beta}\|_{\infty}<\infty for some 0<\beta<1/2. Under natural…

This paper considers the question of characterizing the behavior of waves reflected by a fractional singularity of the wave speed profile, i.e., of the form \[ c(x_1, x_2, x_3) = c_0 \left(1 + \left( \frac{x_1}{\ell}\right)_{+}^\alpha…

For $-1\le B<A\le 1$, let $\mathcal{S}^*(A,B)$ denote the class of normalized analytic functions $f(z)= z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_n z^n$ in $|z|<1$ which satisfy the subordination relation $zf'(z)/f(z)\prec (1+Az)/(1+Bz)$ and $\Sigma^*(A,B)$…

It is known that a real analytic CR function f on a real analytic, generic submanifold M in C^N can be holomorphically extended. A stronger result on a finite type, real analytic, generic submanifold M is found in which we assume f a…

An identity in law for the area of a spectrally positive L\'evy stable process stopped at zero is established. Extending that of Lefebvre for Brownian motion, it involves an inverse Beta random variable and the square of a positive stable…

Given a positive definite, bounded linear operator $A$ on the Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_0:=l^2(E)$, we consider a reproducing kernel Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_+$ with a reproducing kernel $A(x,y)$. Here $E$ is any countable set and…

We use nearly parallel pure states to characterize positive linear functionals $\phi$ on $\mathbb{M}_n$ as positive multiples of the trace if and only if $\phi(A \natural B) \leq \sqrt{\phi(A) \phi(B)}$ for all positive definite matrices…

We review the discovery of reflection positivity. We also explain a new geometric approach and proof of the reflection positivity property.

We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the strict positive definiteness of a real, continuous, isotropic and positive definite kernel on a two-point compact homogeneous space. The characterization adds to others previously…

In this paper we show that for a non-negative operator monotone function $f$ on $[0, \infty)$ such that $f(0)= 0$ and for any positive semidefinite matrices $A$ and $B$, $$ Tr((A-B)(f(A)-f(B))) \le Tr(|A-B|f(|A-B|)). $$ When the function…

The problem to decide whether a given rational function in several variables is positive, in the sense that all its Taylor coefficients are positive, goes back to Szeg\H{o} as well as Askey and Gasper, who inspired more recent work. It is…

The main object under consideration is a class $\Phi_n\backslash\Phi_{n+1}$ of radial positive definite functions on $\R^n$ which do not admit \emph{radial positive definite continuation} on $\R^{n+1}$. We find certain necessary and…

It is generally believed that Veselago's criterion for negative refraction cannot be fulfilled in natural materials. However, considering imaginary parts of the permittivity ({\epsilon}) and permeability ({\mu}) and for metals at not too…

The paper is devoted to study the inversion of the integral transform $$(\mbox{\boldmath$H$}f)(x)=\int^\infty_0H^{m,n}_{\thinspace p,q} \left[xt\left|\begin{array}{c}(a_i,\alpha_i)_{1,p}\\[1mm](b_j,\beta_j)_{1,q}…

The condition for a negative index of refraction with respect to the vacuum index is established in terms of permittivity and permeability susceptibilities. It is found that the imposition of analyticity to satisfy the Kramers-Kronig…

Let $L$ be a L\'evy operator. A function $h$ is said to be harmonic with respect to $L$ if $L h = 0$ in an appropriate sense. We prove Liouville's theorem for positive functions harmonic with respect to a general L\'evy operator $L$: such…

We prove some general recursions for the numbers of representations of positive integers as a sum x+y, x in X, y in Y, where X,Y are increasing sequences. In particular, we obtain recursions for the number of the Goldbach, Lemoine-Levy,…

On each nonreflexive Banach space X there exists a positive continuous convex function f such that 1/f is not a d.c. function (i.e., a difference of two continuous convex functions). This result together with known ones implies that X is…

This work constructs a hypothesis test for detecting whether an data-generating function $h: R^p \rightarrow R$ belongs to a specific reproducing kernel Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_0$ , where the structure of $\mathcal{H}_0$ is only…

We first introduce the arithmetic subderivative of a positive integer with respect to a non-empty set of primes. This notion generalizes the concepts of the arithmetic derivative and arithmetic partial derivative. More generally, we then…
