In this paper we investigate the monotonicity properties related to the ratio of gamma functions, from which some related asymptotics and inequalities are established. Some special cases also confirm the conjectures of C.-P. Chen…
We address an old open question in convex geometry that dates back to the work of Minkowski: what are the equality cases of the monotonicity of mixed volumes? The problem is equivalent to that of providing a geometric characterization of…
We consider positive singular solutions of PDEs arising from double phase functionals. Exploiting a rather new version of the moving plane method originally developed by Sciunzi, we prove symmetry and monotonicity properties of such…
This article concerns the antisymmetry, uniqueness, and monotonicity properties of solutions to some elliptic functionals involving weights and a double well potential. In the one-dimensional case, we introduce the continuous odd…
We study monotonicity and 1-dimensional symmetry for positive solutions with algebraic growth of the following elliptic system: \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta u = -u v^2 & \text{in $\R^N$}\\ -\Delta v= -u^2 v & \text{in $\R^N$}, \end{cases} \]…
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…
A monotonicity property of Harnack inequality is proved for positive invariant harmonic functions in the unit ball.
For a minimal submanifold of the Euclidean space, we prove monotonicity formulas for its (weighted) volume within images of concentric balls under M\"obius transformations.
We prove new monotonicity properties for joint and generalized spectral radius and their essential versions of weighted geometric symmetrizations of bounded sets of positive kernel operators on $L^2$. To our knowledge, several proved…
We characterize the extreme points of multidimensional monotone functions from $[0,1]^n$ to $[0,1]$, as well as the extreme points of the set of one-dimensional marginals of these functions. These characterizations lead to new results for…
In present paper, we prove the monotonicity of two functions involving the gamma function $\Gamma(x)$ and relating to the $n$-dimensional volume of the unit ball $\mathbb{B}^n$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$.
In this paper, we study some properties such as the monotonicity, logarithmically complete monotonicity, logarithmic convexity, and geometric convexity, of the combinations of gamma function and power function. The results we obtain…
In two preceding articles, we studied the problem of the existence and uniqueness of a solution to some general BSDE on manifolds. In these two articles, we assumed some Lipschitz conditions on the drift $f(b,x,z)$. The purpose of this…
In search of a meaningful 2-dimensional analog to mono- tonicity, we introduce two new definitions and give examples of and dis- cuss the relationship between these definitions and others that we found in the literature. Note: After we…
We prove some properties of completely monotonic functions and apply them to obtain results on gamma and $q$-gamma functions.
We prove some new results and unify the proofs of old ones involving complete monotonicity of expressions involving gamma and $q$-gamma functions, $0 < q < 1$. Each of these results implies the infinite divisibility of a related probability…
In this paper, a monotonicity property for the quotient of two Jacobi's theta functions with respect to the modulus $k$ is proved.
In 1970, based on newly available empiric evidence, a remarkable monotonicity property for $| \zeta(z) |$ was conjectured by R. Spira. The $\zeta$-monotonicity property can be written as follows: $$ | \zeta (x_2 + y i ) | < | \zeta \left (…
In this sequel paper we give a shorter, second proof of the monotonicity of the Hawking mass for time flat surfaces under spacelike uniformly area expanding flows in spacetimes that satisfy the dominant energy condition. We also include a…
In the preprint of 1993 the author formulated some conjectures on monotonicity of ratios for exponential series remainders. They are equivalent to conjectures on monotonicity of a ratio of Kummer hypergeometric functions and presumably not…
