A real valued function $f$ defined on a real open interval $I$ is called $\Phi$-monotone if, for all $x,y\in I$ with $x\leq y$ it satisfies $$ f(x)\leq f(y)+\Phi(y-x), $$ where $\Phi:[0,\ell(I)[\,\to\mathbb{R}_+$ is a given nonnegative…

We mainly establish a monotonicity property between some special Riemann sums of a convex function $f$ on $[a,b]$, which in particular yields that $\frac{b-a}{n+1}\sum_{i=0}^n f\left(a+i\frac{b-a}{n}\right)$ is decreasing while…

Starting from some of Norman Levinson's results, we construct interesting examples of functions $f(s)$ such that for $s=\frac12+it$, we have $Z(t)=2\Re\{\pi^{-\frac{s}{2}}\Gamma(s/2)f(s)\}$. For example one such function is…

Given a function f in the exterior of a convex curve in the real plane, we prove that if the restrictions of f to the tangent lines to the curve extend as entire functions, then the function f is an entire function of two variables.

Roughly speaking, functional analysis is the study of vector spaces of arbitrary dimension over the field of real or complex numbers, and the continuous linear mappings between such spaces. Naturally, the notion of continuity requires a…

In this paper Euler shows how, if we have recursive functions f,g,h and an infinite sequence A,B,C,... which satisfies fA=gB+hC, f'B=g'C+h'D, f''C=g''D+h''E, f'''D=g'''E+h'''F, etc., where the primes denote an index not a derivative, then…

By investigating a recurrence relation about functions, we first give alternative proofs of various identities on Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers, and then, make certain well known identities visible via certain trivalent graph…

We reduce the classification of finite extensions of function fields (of curves over finite fields) with the same class number to a finite computation; complete this computation in all cases except when both curves have base field…

We study sums of the shape $\sum_{n \leqslant x} f \left( \lfloor x/n \rfloor \right)$ where $f$ is either the von Mangoldt function or the Dirichlet-Piltz divisor functions. We improve previous estimates when $f = \Lambda$ and $f = \tau$,…

Suppose that in the four tests Alice's scores are 90, 95, 85, 90, and Bob's scores are 85, 95, 90, 90. How to evaluate their scores? In this paper, we introduce the concept of ordered probability mass function which can be used to find a…

In this study, several interesting iterative sequences were investigated. First, we define the iterative sequences. We fix function f(n). An iterative sequence starts with a natural number n, and calculates the sequence f(n),f(f(n)),…

Let $a, b$ be distinct, non-constant polynomials in ${\mathbb F}_2 [z]$. Let $\xi_{a, b}$ be the power series in ${\mathbb F}_2((z^{-1}))$ whose sequence of partial quotients is the Thue-Morse sequence over $\{a, b\}$. We establish that…

We show a pointwise estimate for the Fourier transform on the line involving the number of times the function changes monotonicity. The contrapositive of the theorem may be used to find a lower bound to the number of local maxima of a…

This work advances knowledge of the threshold of prox-boundedness of a function; an important concern in the use of proximal point optimization algorithms and in determining the existence of the Moreau envelope of the function. In finite…

Motivated by the problem of determining the values of $\alpha>0$ for which $f_\alpha(x)=e^\alpha - (1+1/x)^{\alpha x},\ x>0$ is a completely monotonic function, we combine Fourier analysis with complex analysis to find a family…

Let ftm = 0111010010001... be the analogue of the Thue-Morse sequence in Fibonacci representation. In this note we show how, using the Walnut theorem-prover, to obtain a measure of its complexity, previously studied by Jamet, Popoli, and…

Given a weakly almost additive sequence of continuous functions with bounded variation $\mathcal{F}=\{\log f_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ on a subshift $X$ over finitely many symbols, we study properties of a function $f$ on $X$ such that…

Two approximations, derived from continuous expansions of Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives into series involving integer order derivatives, are studied. Using those series, one can formally transform any problem that contains…

Let $f(n)$ denote the number of distinct unordered factorisations of the natural number $n$ into factors larger than 1.In this paper, we address some aspects of the function $f(n)$.

We consider a real-valued function $f$ defined on the set of infinite branches $X$ of a countably branching pruned tree $T$. The function $f$ is said to be a \textit{limsup function} if there is a function $u \colon T \to \mathbb{R}$ such…
