In this expository and survey paper, along one of main lines of bounding the ratio of two gamma functions, we look back and analyse some inequalities, several complete monotonicity of functions involving ratios of two gamma or $q$-gamma…

`Einstein-Aether' theory, in which gravity couples to a dynamical, time-like, unit-norm vector field, provides a means for studying Lorentz violation in a generally covariant setting. Demonstrated here is the effect of a redefinition of the…

We analyze the observational and theoretical constraints on ``Einstein-aether theory", a generally covariant theory of gravity coupled to a dynamical, unit, timelike vector field that breaks local Lorentz symmetry. The results of a…

One of the key steps in recent work on the correlation functions of the XXZ chain was to regularize the underlying six-vertex model by a disorder parameter $\alpha$. For the regularized model it was shown that all static correlation…

We prove that an anisotropic minimal graph over a half-space with flat boundary must itself be flat. This generalizes a result of Edelen-Wang to the anisotropic case. The proof uses only the maximum principle and ideas from fully nonlinear…

We establish a generalization of Littlewood's criterion on $L^\alpha$-flatness by proving that there is no $L^\alpha$-flat polynomials, $\alpha>0$, within the class of analytic polynomials on the unit circle of the form $…

In the paper, the authors establish integral representations of some functions related to the remainder of Burnside's formula for the gamma function and find the (logarithmically) complete monotonicity of these and related functions. These…

Let $\psi(x)$ be the di-gamma function, the logarithmic derivative of the classical Euler's gamma function $\Gamma(x)$. In the paper, the author shows that the completely monotonic degree of the function $[\psi'(x)]^2+\psi''(x)$ is $4$,…

We generalize the Mittag-Leffler function by attaching an exponent to its Taylor coefficients. The main result is an asymptotic formula valid in sectors of the complex plane, which extends work by Le Roy [Bull. des sciences math. 24, 1900]…

The monotonicity properties of remainder of Stirling's formula for the gamma function are simply obtained by using the integral transforms with series.

The study of the Mittag-Leffler function and its various generalizations has become a very popular topic in mathematics and its applications. In the present paper we prove the following estimate for the $q$-Mittag-Leffler function:…

We show that for any constant $c>0$, any (two-sided error) adaptive algorithm for testing monotonicity of Boolean functions must have query complexity $\Omega(n^{1/2-c})$. This improves the $\tilde\Omega(n^{1/3})$ lower bound of [CWX17] and…

In its additive version, Bohr-Mollerup's remarkable theorem states that the unique (up to an additive constant) convex solution $f(x)$ to the equation $\Delta f(x)=\ln x$ on the open half-line $(0,\infty)$ is the log-gamma function…

We prove a lower bound of $\Omega(n^{1/2 - c})$, for all $c>0$, on the query complexity of (two-sided error) non-adaptive algorithms for testing whether an $n$-variable Boolean function is monotone versus constant-far from monotone. This…

In this paper, we extend recent work on the functions that we call Bernstein-gamma to the class of bivariate Bernstein-gamma functions. In the more general bivariate setting, we determine Stirling-type asymptotic bounds which generalise,…

The function $t \mapsto E_{\alpha}(\lambda t^\alpha)$ is widely regarded as the fractional analogue of the exponential function, yet its algebraic properties remain poorly understood. In particular, standard references lack a rigorous proof…

We study a class of positive random variables having moments of Gamma type, whose density can be expressed by the three-parametric Mittag-Leffler functions. We give some necessary conditions and some sufficient conditions for their…

Consider the following approximation problem of a continuous function of three variables by the sum of three continuous functions of one variable: \[ E(f,\Omega)=\inf||f(x,y,z)-\phi(x)-\psi(y)-\omega(z)||_{\infty}=? \] where $f(x,y,z)$ is a…

Let $M(\alpha)$ denote the (logarithmic) Mahler measure of the algebraic number $\alpha$. Dubickas and Smyth, and later Fili and the author, examined metric versions of $M$. The author generalized these constructions in order to associate,…
