In this paper, it is shown that every polynomial function is mixed monotone globally with a polynomial decomposition function. For univariate polynomials, the decomposition functions can be constructed from the Gram matrix representation of…

Let $\exp[x_0,x_1,\dots,x_n]$ denote the divided difference of the exponential function. (i) We prove that exponential divided differences are log-submodular. (ii) We establish the four-point inequality $…

We obtain a sharp lower bound on the isoperimetric deficit of a general polygon in terms of the variance of its side lengths, the variance of its radii, and its deviation from being convex. Our technique involves a functional minimization…

In this short note we prove that every Jordan derivation of triangular algebras is a derivation.

We recall the definition of quasinearly subharmonic functions, point out that this function class includes, among others, subharmonic functions, quasisubharmonic functions, nearly subharmonic functions and essentially almost subharmonic…

This short article aims at demonstrate that the Intersection over Union (or Jaccard index) is not a submodular function. This mistake has been made in an article which is cited and used as a foundation in another article. The Intersection…

We prove a weak-type (1,1) inequality for square functions of non-commutative martingales that are simultaneously bounded in $L^2$ and $L^1$. More precisely, the following non-commutative analogue of a classical result of Burkholder holds:…

The aim of this note is to give two new conceptual proofs of Ionescu-Weitzenb\"ock's inequality. The first one, which is a vector proof, provides us a geometric interpretation of the difference between the two sides of this inequality and…

This preprint is a text for students and teachers on inequalities. Some standard topics are covered on application of calculus to inequality proving. Many examples are considered, stated, solved or partially solved. Some problems are…

The paper is concerned with the properties of the distance function from a closed subset of a Riemannian manifold, with particular attention to the set of singularities.

Let $G$ be a nonempty bounded domain in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space. The main results are general estimates from below at points from $G$ for an arbitrary subharmonic function $u\not\equiv -\infty$ on the closure of the domain $G$…

Short nonstandard proofs are given for some results about infinite systems of equations in infinitely many variables.

In this paper our aim is to prove some monotonicity and convexity results for the modified Struve function of the second kind by using its integral representation. Moreover, as consequences of these results, we present some functional…

Numerous inequalities involving moments of integrated intensities and revealing nonclassicality and entanglement in bipartite optical fields are derived using the majorization theory, non-negative polynomials, the matrix approach, as well…

A geometric inequality among three triangles, originating in circle packing problems, is introduced. In order to prove it, we reduce the original formulation to the nonnegativity of a particular polynomial in four real indeterminates.…

An argument is provided for the equality case of the high dimensional Bonnesen inequality for sections. The known equality case of the Bonnesen inequality for projections is presented as a consequence.

In the paper a theorem of Piccard's type is proved and, consequently, the continuity of $\mathcal{D}$-measurable polynomial functions of $n$-th order as well as $\mathcal{D}$-measurable $n$-convex functions is shown. The paper refers to the…

Some sharp two-sided Tur\'an type inequalities for parabolic cylinder functions and Tricomi confluent hypergeometric functions are deduced. The proofs are based on integral representations for quotients of parabolic cylinder functions and…

This is a note of purely didactical purpose as the proof of the Jordan measure decomposition is often omitted in the related literature. Elementary proofs are provided for the existence, the uniqueness, and the minimality property of the…
