We define an integral of real-valued functions with respect to a measure that takes its values in the extended positive cone of a partially ordered vector space $E$. The monotone convergence theorem, Fatou's lemma, and the dominated…
Fractional powers and polynomial maps preserving structured totally positive matrices, one-sided Polya frequency functions, or totally positive kernels are treated from a unifying perspective. Besides the stark rigidity of the polynomial…
The (e,n)-complexity functions describe total instability of trajectories in dynamical systems. They reflect an ability of trajectories going through a Borel set to diverge on the distance $\epsilon$ during the time interval n. Behavior of…
Functions preserving Loewner positivity when applied entrywise to positive semidefinite matrices have been widely studied in the literature. Following the work of Schoenberg [Duke Math. J. 9], Rudin [Duke Math. J. 26], and others, it is…
We introduce a notion being a $k$-fold Lebesgue function for measure preserving transformations, where any $2$-fold Lebesgue function is just ordinary Lebesgue. We discuss how this new metrical isomorphisms invariant of dynamical systems is…
We propose a necessary and sufficient condition for a real-valued function on the real line to be a characteristic function of a probability measures. The statement is given in terms of harmonic functions and completely monotonic functions.
We prove that the range of sequence of vector measures converging widely satisfies a weak lower semicontinuity property, that the convergence of the range implies the strict convergence (convergence of the total variation) and that the…
We simplify the proof of some widely used theoretical theorems, extending their applicability, while correcting some erroneous results. We also generalize key results and present new results that contribute to the development of the theory.…
For an $n$-by-$n$ matrix $A$, let $f_A$ be its "field of values generating function" defined as $f_A\colon x\mapsto x^*Ax$. We consider two natural versions of the continuity, which we call strong and weak, of $f_A^{-1}$ (which is of course…
In this article we establish two fundamental results for the sublevel set persistent homology for stationary processes indexed by the positive integers. The first is a strong law of large numbers for the persistence diagram (treated as a…
Functions whose composition with every metric is a metric are said to be metric-preserving. In this article, we investigate a variation of the concept of metric-preserving functions where metrics are replaced by ultrametrics.
Henkin functionals on non-commutative $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras have recently emerged as a pivotal link between operator theory and complex function theory in several variables. Our aim in this paper is characterize these functionals through…
We study qualitative properties of the set of recurrent points of finitely generated free semigroups of measurable maps. In the case of a single generator the classical Poincare recurrence theorem shows that these properties are closely…
We analyze matrix convex functions of a fixed order defined on a real interval by differential methods as opposed to the characterization in terms of divided differences given by Kraus. We obtain for each order conditions for matrix…
This paper concerns three classes of real-valued functions on intervals, operator monotone functions, operator convex functions, and strongly operator convex functions. Strongly operator convex functions were previously treated in [3] and…
In this paper first we give a partial answer to a question of L. Moln\'ar and W. Timmermann. Namely, we will describe those linear (not necessarily bijective) transformations on the set of self-adjoint matrices which preserve a unitarily…
We consider the space of convex functions defined in the Euclidean $n$-dimensional space, which are lower semi-continuous and tend to infinity at infinity. We study real-valued valuations defined on this space of functions, which are…
We continue the study of truncated matrix-valued moment problems begun in arXiv:2310.00957. Let $q\in\mathbb{N}$. Suppose that $(\mathcal{X},\mathfrak{X})$ is a measurable space and $\mathcal{E}$ is a finite-dimensional vector space of…
Convolution admits a natural formulation as a functional operation on matrices. Motivated by the functional and entrywise calculi, this leads to a framework in which convolution defines a matrix transform that preserves positivity. Within…
Characterization and quantification of multipartite entanglement is one of the challenges in state-of-the-art experiments in quantum information processing. According to theory, this is achieved via entanglement monotones, that is,…
