In 1939 P\'al Tur\'an and J\'anos Er\H{o}d initiated the study of lower estimations of maximum norms of derivatives of polynomials, in terms of the maximum norms of the polynomials themselves, on convex domains of the complex plane. As a…

Originally, Tur\'{a}n's inequality states that if $(P_n(x))_{n\in\mathbb{N}_0}$ is the sequence of Legendre polynomials, then $\Delta_n(x):=P_n^2(x)-P_{n+1}(x)P_{n-1}(x)\geq0$ for all $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $x\in[-1,1]$. Gasper specified the…

In 1937, Rademacher refined the circle method of Hardy and Ramanujan to derive an exact convergent series for the partition function $p(n)$. In 1942, Hua derived an exact formula for the distinct part partition function, and in 1971, Hagis…

Here we study the roots of the doubly infinite family of Jensen polynomials $J_{\mathrm{PL}}^{d,n}(x)$ associated to MacMahon's plane partition function $\mathrm{PL}(n)$. Recently, Ono, Pujahari, and Rolen proved that $\mathrm{PL}(n)$ is…

Recently, the higher order Tur\'{a}n inequalities for the Boros-Moll sequences $\{d_\ell(m)\}_{\ell=0}^m$ were obtained by Guo. In this paper, we show a different approach to this result. Our proof is based on a criterion derived by Hou and…

Inequalities are important features in the context of sequences of numbers and polynomials. The Bessenrodt--Ono inequality for partition numbers and Nekrasov--Okounkov polynomials has only recently been discovered. In this paper we study…

Let $p(n)$ denote the partition function. Desalvo and Pak proved the log-concavity of $p(n)$ for $n>25$ and the inequality $\frac{p(n-1)}{p(n)}\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)>\frac{p(n)}{p(n+1)}$ for $n>1$. Let $r(n)=\sqrt[n]{p(n)/n}$ and…

In 1939 P. Tur\'an started to derive lower estimations on the norm of the derivatives of polynomials of (maximum) norm 1 on $I:=[-1,1]$ (interval) and $D:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}~:~|z|\le 1\}$ (disk), under the normalization condition that the…

Let $\bar{p}(n)$ denote the overpartition function. In this paper, we study the asymptotic higher order $\log$-concavity property of the overpatition function in a similar framework done by Hou and Zhang for the partition function. This…

We prove log-concavity for the function counting partitions without sequences. We use an exact formula for a mixed-mock modular form of weight zero, explicit estimates on modified Kloosterman sums and analytic techniques. Finally, we…

The polynomials $p_n$ orthogonal on the interval $[-1,1],$ normalized by $p_n(1)=1,$ satisfy Tur\'an's inequality if $p_n^2(x)-p_{n-1}(x)p_{n+1}(x)\ge 0$ for $n\ge 1$ and for all $x$ in the interval of orthogonality. We give a general…

Some 76 years ago P. Tur\'an was the first to establish lower estimations of the ratio of the maximum norm of the derivatives of polynomials and the maximum norm of the polynomials themselves on the interval I:=[-1,1] and on the unit disk…

Let $M_0(n)$ (resp. $M_1(n)$) denote the number of partitions of $n$ with even (reps. odd) crank. Choi, Kang and Lovejoy established an asymptotic formula for $M_0(n)-M_1(n)$. By utilizing this formula with the explicit bound, we show that…

In this paper, we prove that the number of unimodal sequences of size $n$ is log-concave. These are coefficients of a mixed false modular form and have a Rademacher-type exact formula due to recent work of the second author and Nazaroglu on…

In this paper, we prove that if $f(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n{n\choose k}a_kx^k$ is a polynomial with real zeros only, then the sequence $\{a_k\}_{k=0}^n$ satisfies the following inequalities $a_{k+1}^2(1-\sqrt{1-c_k})^2/a_k^2…
