The Ramanujan sum c_n(k) and a_n(k), the kth coefficient of the nth cyclotomic polynomial, are completely symmetric expressions in terms of primitive nth roots of unity. For fixed k we study the value distribution of c_n(k) (following A.…

Let $N_\lambda$ and $U$ be two independent random variables respectively distributed as a Poisson distribution with parameter $\lambda >0$ and a uniform distribution on $(0,1)$. This paper establishes that the median, say $M$, of…

A metric space (X,d) is monotone if there is a linear order < on X and a constant c>0 such that d(x,y) < c d(x,z) for all x<y<z in X. Properties of continuous functions with monotone graph (considered as a planar set) are investigated. It…

We study sums of independent random variables that take values $0$, $1/2$, or $1$. We show that the probability mass function of the sum splits into two interleaved parts: one supported on the integers and the other supported on the…

Algebraic soliton interactions with a periodic or quasi-periodic random force are investigated using the Benjamin-Ono equation. The random force is modeled as a Fourier series with a finite number of modes and random phases uniformly…

This paper considers the problems of solving monotone variational inequalities with H\"older continuous Jacobians. By employing the knowledge of H\"older parameter $\nu$, we propose the $\nu$-regularized extra-Newton method within at most…

In this paper, we first prove monotonicity of a generalized para bolic frequency on weighted closed Riemannian manifolds for some linear heat equation. Secondly, a certain generalized parabolic frequency functional is defined with respect…

It is known that if $x\in[0,1]$ is polynomial time random (i.e. no polynomial time computable martingale succeeds on the binary fractional expansion of $x$) then $x$ is normal in any integer base greater than one. We show that if $x$ is…

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…

Pick n points independently at random in R^2, according to a prescribed probability measure mu, and let D^n_1 <= D^n_2 <= ... be the areas of the binomial n choose 3 triangles thus formed, in non-decreasing order. If mu is absolutely…

We consider a nonparametric Bayesian approach to estimation and testing for a multivariate monotone density. Instead of following the conventional Bayesian route of putting a prior distribution complying with the monotonicity restriction,…

Monotone Boolean functions (MBFs) are Boolean functions $f: {0,1}^n \rightarrow {0,1}$ satisfying the monotonicity condition $x \leq y \Rightarrow f(x) \leq f(y)$ for any $x,y \in {0,1}^n$. The number of MBFs in n variables is known as the…

The seminal work of Morgan and Rubin (2012) considers rerandomization for all the units at one time. In practice, however, experimenters may have to rerandomize units sequentially. For example, a clinician studying a rare disease may be…

In the paper the authors alternatively prove that the function $x^\alpha\big[\ln\frac{px}{x+p+1}-\psi_p(x)\big]$ is completely monotonic on $(0,\infty)$ if and only if $\alpha \le 1$, where $p\in\mathbb{N}$ and $\psi_p(x)$ is the…

The Poisson distribution of order $k$ is a special case of a compound Poisson distribution. For $k=1$ it is the standard Poisson distribution. Our main result is a proof that for sufficiently small values of the rate parameter $\lambda$,…

In this manuscript, various properties of the Ramanujan integral $I_R(x)$, defined as \begin{align*} I_R(x) = \int_0^\infty e^{-xt} \dfrac{dt}{t(\pi^2 + \log^2 t)}, \quad x>0, \end{align*} are investigated, including its monotonicity,…

We consider a Bayesian method for simultaneous quantile regression on a real variable. By monotone transformation, we can make both the response variable and the predictor variable take values in the unit interval. A representation of…

This note contains some observations on primary matrix functions and different notions of monotonicity with relevance towards constitutive relations in nonlinear elasticity. Focussing on primary matrix functions on the set of symmetric…

We discuss the problem of classifying polynomials $p : \mathbb R^2_+ \rightarrow (0, \infty)$ for which $\frac{1}{p}=\{\frac{1}{p(m, n)}\}_{m, n \geq 0}$ is joint completely monotone, where $p$ is a linear polynomial in $y.$ We show that if…
