The most important open problem in Monotone Operator Theory concerns the maximal monotonicity of the sum of two maximally monotone operators provided that the classical Rockafellar's constraint qualification holds. In this paper, we…
We consider pairs of operators $A,B\in B(H)$, where $H$ is a Hilbert space, such that there exist a linear isometry $f$ from the span of $\{A,B\}$ into $\mathbb{C}^2$ mapping $A,B$ into orthonormal vectors. We prove some necessary…
In the paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for a function involving a ratio of gamma functions to be logarithmically completely monotonic. This extends and generalizes the main result in [\emph{Inequalities and…
This is an ultimate completion of our earlier paper [Acta.\ Math.\ Hungar.\ 140 (2013), 248--292] where mapping properties of several fundamental harmonic analysis operators in the setting of symmetrized Jacobi trigonometric expansions were…
We consider functions with an asymptotic mean value property, known to characterize harmonicity in Riemannian manifolds, in doubling metric measure spaces. We show that the strongly amv-harmonic functions are H\"older continuous for any…
A connection is a binary operation for positive operators satisfying the monotonicity, the transformer inequality and the joint-continuity from above. A mean is a normalized connection. In this paper, we show that there is a one-to-one…
Replacing operators with continuous operator-valued functions, we prove time-dependent versions of well-known results on compressions and diagonals of bounded operators. The setting of smooth functions is also addressed. Our results have no…
The main aim of this paper is to study the functional inequality \begin{equation*} \int_{[0,1]}f\bigl((1-t)x+ty\bigr)d\mu(t)\geq 0, \qquad x,y\in I \mbox{ with } x<y, \end{equation*} for a continuous unknown function $f:I\to{\mathbb R}$,…
We give a characterization of harmonic and subharmonic functions in terms of their mean values in balls and on spheres. This includes the converse of an inequality of Beardon's for subharmonic functions. We also obtain integral inequalities…
In this paper, we show refined Young inequalities for two positive operators. Our results refine the ordering relations among the arithmetic mean, the geometric mean and the harmonic mean for two positive operators. In addition, we give two…
We continue the analysis in [H. Osaka and J. Tomiyama, Double piling structure of matrix monotone functions and of matrix convex functions, Linear and its Applications 431(2009), 1825 - 1832] in which the followings three assertions at each…
The paper studies a bounded symmetric operator ${\mathbf{A}}_\varepsilon$ in $L_2(\mathbf{R}^d)$ with $$ ({\mathbf{A}}_\varepsilon u) (x) = \varepsilon^{-d-2} \int_{\mathbf{R}^d} a((x-y)/\varepsilon) \mu(x/\varepsilon, y/\varepsilon) \left(…
We prove generalizations of L\"owner's results on matrix monotone functions to several variables. We give a characterization of when a function of $d$ variables is locally monotone on $d$-tuples of commuting self-adjoint $n$-by-$n$…
In this paper, we present new structures and results on the set $\M_\D$ of mean functions on a given symmetric domain $\D$ of $\mathbb{R}^2$. First, we construct on $\M_\D$ a structure of abelian group in which the neutral element is simply…
We investigate properties of ($\alpha,\beta$)-harmonic functions. First, we discuss the coefficient estimates for ($\alpha,\beta$)-harmonic functions. In particular, we obtain Heinz's inequality for ($\alpha,\beta$)-harmonic functions,…
Let $X$ be a centered Gaussian random variable in a separable Hilbert space ${\mathbb H}$ with covariance operator $\Sigma.$ We study a problem of estimation of a smooth functional of $\Sigma$ based on a sample $X_1,\dots ,X_n$ of $n$…
We found a special divergence structure for the $\sigma_k$-Yamabe operator and use it to get a monotonicity formula. We also get an interior $L^{\infty}$ estimate via its $L^1$ norm for the $\sigma_k$-Yamabe operator when $1\le k \le…
We study a specific family of symmetric norms on the algebra $\mathcal B(\mathcal H)$ of operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. With respect to each symmetric norm in this family the identity operator fails to attain…
In this paper we show that bisymmetry, which is an algebraic property, has a regularity improving feature. More precisely, we prove that every bisymmetric, partially strictly monotonic, reflexive and symmetric function $F:I^2\to I$ is…
