In this paper, we develop the notions of weak/directional monotonicity (developed by Sesma-Sara et al. in terms of the \emph{Kulisch-Miranker order}) and the notion of $ G $-monotonicity (introduced by Santiago et al. for $ [0,\!1]$) for…
This paper systematically investigates the absolute monotonicity of two function families associated with the Gaussian hypergeometric function $F(a, b; c; x)$ (where $a,b,c\in\mathbb{R}_+$): $\mathcal{F}_p(x)=(1-x)^pF(a,b;c;x)$ and…
The aim of this short note is to give counterexamples to two results by D. Y. Gao [5, Th. 16], [4, Th. 2] and to improve a related result by S.-C. Fang, D. Y. Gao, R.-L. Sheu and S.-Y. Wu [1, Th. 3].
As well known, the study of Riemanns zeta function {\zeta}(s) involves the related entire function {\xi}(s). A close relative of {\zeta}(s) is the alternating zeta function {\eta}(s). Similar to {\zeta}(s), also {\eta}(s) has a…
In this paper we revisit the proof of the Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman monotonicity formula. Then, in the framework of the Heisenberg group, we discuss the existence of an analogous monotonicity formula introducing a necessary condition for its…
Towards confirming Sun's conjecture on the strict log-concavity of combinatorial sequence involving the n$th$ Bernoulli number, Chen, Guo and Wang proposed a conjecture about the log-concavity of the function…
We study discontinuous solutions of the monomial equation $\frac{1}{n!}\Delta_h^nf(x)=f(h)$. In particular, we characterize the closure of their graph, $\bar{G(f)}^{\mathbb{R}^2}$, and we use the properties of these functions to present a…
We show that the functions g and gs introduced by Guo Wuwen in [4] are continuous and semialgebraic. We use this fact to prove that the set Nn of ordered n-tuples of real numbers, realizable by nonnegative matrices, is a closed set.
The "finite intersection property" for bifunctions is introduced and its relationship with generalized monotonicity properties is studied. Some results concerning existence of solution for (quasi-)equilibrium problems are established and…
We prove a monotonicity property of the Hurwitz zeta function which, in turn, translates into a chain of inequalities for polygamma functions of different orders. We provide a probabilistic interpretation of our result by exploiting a…
In this note we prove two monotonicity formulas for solutions of $\Delta_H f = c$ and $\Delta_H f - \p_t f = c$ in Carnot groups. Such formulas involve the right-invariant \emph{carr\'e du champ} of a function and they are false for the…
The psi function $\psi(x)$ is defined by $\psi(x)=\frac{\Gamma'(x)}{\Gamma(x)}$ and $\psi^{(i)}(x)$ for $i\in\mathbb{N}$ denote the polygamma functions, where $\Gamma(x)$ is the gamma function. In this paper we prove that a function…
In this paper our aim is to deduce some complete monotonicity properties and functional inequalities for the Bickley function. The key tools in our proofs are the classical integral inequalities, like Chebyshev, H\"older-Rogers,…
In this paper we prove monotonicity of some ratios of $q$--Kummer confluent hypergeometric and $q$--hypergeometric functions. The results are also closely connected with Tur\'an type inequalities. In order to obtain main results we apply…

We construct a monotonicity formula for a class of free boundary problems associated with the stationary points of the functional \[ J(u)=\int_\Omega F(|\nabla u|^2)+\mbox{meas}(\{u>0\}\cap \Omega), \] where $F$ is a density function…
We prove that the function $g(x)= 1 / \bigl( 1 - \cos(x) \bigr)$ is completely monotonic on $(0,\pi]$ and absolutely monotonic on $[\pi, 2\pi)$, and we determine the best possible bounds $\lambda_n$ and $\mu_n$ such that the inequalities $$…
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, which is called the "sum…
In this short note, we establish the following result: Let $f:[0,+\infty[\to [0,+\infty[$, $\alpha:[0,1]\to ]0,+\infty[$ be two continuous functions, with $f(0)=0$. Assume that, for some $a>0$, the function $\xi\to…
The aim of this review is to provide an overview of a recent work concerning ``leaky'' quantum graphs described by Hamiltonians given formally by the expression $-\Delta -\alpha \delta (x-\Gamma)$ with a singular attractive interaction…
