In this paper, we investigate the monotone property of the continued fractions $G(m,\lambda)$ as a function of $m$ and $\lambda$. In particular, we obtain new inequality for the relative continued fractions.
In this paper, the authors present sharp approximations in terms of sine function and polynomials for the so-called Ramanujan constant (or the Ramanujan $R$-function) $R(a)$, by showing some monotonicity, concavity and convexity properties…

The ratio monotonicity of a polynomial is a stronger property than log-concavity. Let P(x) be a polynomial with nonnegative and nondecreasing coefficients. We prove the ratio monotone property of P(x+1), which leads to the log-concavity of…
In this paper, we establish the following two identities involving the Gamma function and Bernoulli polynomials, namely $$ \sum_{k\leq x}\frac{1}{k^s} \sum_{j=1}^{k^s}\log\Gamma\left(\frac{j}{k^s}\right) \sum_{\substack{d|k \\…
Based on a sequence of numerical computations, a conjecture is presented regarding the class of functions $H(x;a)=\exp(a)-(1+a/x)^x$, and the open problem of determining the values of $a$ for which the functions are completely monotonic…
We prove that a continuous function $f:(0,\infty) \to (0,\infty)$ is operator monotone increasing if and only if $f(A \: !_t \: B) \leqs f(A) \: !_t \: f(B)$ for any positive operators $A,B$ and scalar $t \in [0,1]$. Here, $!_t$ denotes the…

Inspired by the work of C. Mortici [1] and A. Laforgia et. al [2] we have established some new Tur\'an-type inequalities for k-polygamma function and p-k-polygamma function.
We study the continuity properties of trajectories for some random series of functions $\sum a\_kf(\alpha X\_k(\omega))$ where $a\_k$ is a complex sequence, $X\_k$ a sequence of real independent random variables, $f$ is a real valued…
We prove a montonicity property of the new basis of C[(Z/2)^D]. We also study the matrix coefficients of the Fourier transform with respect to the new basis and formulate a conjecture for them.
We consider summations over digamma and polygamma functions, often with summands of the form (\pm 1)^n\psi(n+p/q)/n^r and (\pm 1)^n\psi^{(m)} (n+p/q)/n^r, where m, p, q, and r are positive integers. We develop novel general integral…

We study an infinite class of sequences of sparse polynomials that have binomial coefficients both as exponents and as coefficients. This generalizes a sequence of sparse polynomials which arises in a natural way as graph theoretic…
We present several new inequalities for trigonometric sums. Among others, we show that the inequality $$ \sum_{k=1}^n (n-k+1)(n-k+2)k\sin(kx) > \frac{2}{9} \sin(x) \bigl( 1+2\cos(x) \bigr)^2 $$ holds for all $n\geq 1$ and $x\in (0,…
