This work has a purpose to collect selected facts about the completely monotone (CM) functions that can be found in books and papers devoted to different areas of mathematics. We opted for lesser known ones, and for those which may help…
We investigate the non-univalent function's properties reminiscent of the theory of univalent starlike functions. Let the analytic function $\psi(z)=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}A_i z^i$, $A_1\neq0$ be univalent in the unit disk. Non-univalent…
In this paper, we prove that, if functions (concave) $\phi$ and (convex) $\psi$ satisfy certain conditions, the $L_{\phi}$ affine surface area is monotone increasing, while the $L_{\psi}$ affine surface area is monotone decreasing under the…
Some properties of the multiway discrepanc of rectangular matrices of nonnegative entries are discussed. We are able to prove the continuity of this discrepancy, as well as some statements about the multiway discrepancy of some special…
Associativity of a two-place function $T: [0,1]^2\rightarrow [0,1]$ defined by $T(x,y)=f^{(-1)}(F(f(x),f(y)))$ where $F:[0,\infty]^2\rightarrow[0,\infty]$ is an associative function, $f: [0,1]\rightarrow [0,\infty]$ is a monotone function…
We propose a notion of iterating functions $f:X^{k}\rightarrow X$ in a way that represents recurrence relations of the form $a_{n+k}=f(a_{n},a_{n+1},...,a_{n+k-1})$. We define a function as $n$-involutory when its $n$th iterate is the…
In the paper, we establish an inequality involving the gamma and digamma functions and use it to prove the negativity and monotonicity of a function involving the gamma and digamma functions.
Let $F$ be a quadratic APN function of $n$ variables. The associated Boolean function $\gamma_F$ in $2n$ variables ($\gamma_F(a,b)=1$ if $a\neq{\bf 0}$ and equation $F(x)+F(x+a)=b$ has solutions) has the form $\gamma_F(a,b) = \Phi_F(a)…
We primarily investigate congruences modulo $p$ for finite sums of the form $\sum_k\binom{rk}{k}x^k/k$ over the ranges $0<k<p$ and $0<k<p/r$, where $p$ is a prime larger than the positive integer $r$. Here $x$ is an indeterminate, thus…
This paper deals with Niho functions which are one of the most important classes of functions thanks to their close connections with a wide variety of objects from mathematics, such as spreads and oval polynomials or from applied areas,…
Motivated by the work of Alzer and Richards \cite{ar}, here authors study the monotonicity and convexity properties of the function $$\Delta_{p,q} (r) = \frac{{E_{p,q}(r) - \left( {r'} \right)^p K_{p,q}(r) }}{{r^p }} - \frac{{E'_{p,q}(r) -…
Some real functions f induce mean of positive numbers and the matrix monotonicity gives a possibility for means of positive definite matrices. Moreover, such a function f can define linear mapping beta on matrices (which is basic in the…
We consider the class of polynomial optimization problems $\inf \{f(x):x\in K\}$ for which the quadratic module generated by the polynomials that define $K$ and the polynomial $c-f$ (for some scalar $c$) is Archimedean. For such problems,…
In this manuscript we provide a new polynomial pattern. This pattern allows to find a polynomial expansion of the form \[x^{2m+1} = \sum_{k=1}^{x}\sum_{r=0}^{m} \mathbf{A}_{m,r} k^r (x-k)^r,\] where $x,m\in\mathbb{N}$ and $\mathbf{A}_{m,r}$…
We study the following functional equation that has arisen in the context of mechanical systems invariant under the Poincare algebra: \sum\limits_{i=1}^{n+1}\dfrac{\partial}{\partial x_{i}}\prod\limits_{j\neq i}f(x_{i}-x_{j}) =0,\qquad n…
For $n\ge 3$ let $f(n)$ be the least positive integer $k$ such that $\binom nk>\frac{2^n}{n+1}$. In this paper we investigate the properties of $f(n)$.
The paper discusses some properties of the modulus $|W_{k,m}(z)|$ of the Whittaker function $W_{k,m}(z)$. In particular, completely monotone functions expressed in terms of $|W_{k,m}(z)|$ are found. The results follow from an integral…
For each positive integer n, we determine the set of symmetric functions f for which the congruence f(p/1,p/2,...,p/(p-1)) \equiv 0 mod p^n holds for all sufficiently large primes p. Our determination is conditional on a conjecture…
In the present paper we introduce the notion of harmonicity modulus and harmonicity K-functional and apply these notions to prove a Jackson type theorem for approximation of continuous functions by polyharmonic functions. For corresponding…
