We generalize to the ${\rm RCD}(0,N)$ setting a family of monotonicity formulas by Colding and Minicozzi for positive harmonic functions in Riemannian manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature. Rigidity and almost rigidity statements are…
We improve the upper bounds of the following inequalities proved in [H. Alzer and N. Batir, Monotonicity properties of the gamma function, Appl. Math. Letters, 20(2007), 778-781]. \begin{equation*}…
In this paper, we study inequalities involving polynomials and quasimodular forms. More precisely, we focus on the monotonicity of the functions of the form $t \mapsto t^m F(it)$ where $F$ is a quasimodular form and $m > 0$. As an…
In this paper we study the convexity and concavity properties of generalized trigonometric and hyperbolic functions in case of Logarithmic mean.
Recently, Garthwaite-Penniston have shown that the coefficients of Ramanujan's mock theta function $\omega$ satisfy infinitely many congruences of Ramanujan-type. In this work we give the first explicit examples of congruences for…
In 1993 one of the authors formulated some conjectures on monotonicity of ratios for exponential series sections. They lead to more general conjecture on monotonicity of ratios of Kummer hypergeometric functions and was not proved from…
In this work we prove that if an entire function $f(z)$ is of order strictly less than one and it has only negative zeros, then for each nonnegative integer $k,m$ the real function…
The singularities of the $\Gamma$ function, a meromorphic function on the complex plane, are known to occur at the nonpositive integers. We show, using Euler and Gauss identities, that for all positive integers $n$ and $k$, $$…
By making use of the familiar Mathieu series and its generalizations, the authors derive a number of new integral representations and present a systematic study of probability density functions and probability distributions associated with…
In the present paper, we give two new proofs for the necessary and sufficient condition $\alpha\le1$ such that the function $x^\alpha[\ln x-\psi(x)]$ is completely monotonic on $(0,\infty)$.
The logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n$ of an analytic and univalent function $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ with the normalization $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$ are defined by $\log \frac{f(z)}{z}= 2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}…
Let $u$ and $v$ be harmonic in $ \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ functions with the same zero set $Z$. We show that the ratio $f$ of such functions is always well-defined and is real analytic. Moreover it satisfies the maximum and minimum…
In the paper, after reviewing the history, background, origin, and applications of the functions $\frac{b^{t}-a^{t}}{t}$ and $\frac{e^{-\alpha t}-e^{-\beta t}}{1-e^{-t}}$, we establish sufficient and necessary conditions such that the…
In various research areas related to decision making, problems and their solutions frequently rely on certain functions being monotonic. In the case of non-monotonic functions, one would then wish to quantify their lack of monotonicity. In…
We introduce a countable collection of positivity classes for Hermitian symmetric functions on a complex manifold, and establish their basic properties. We study a related notion of stability. The first main result shows that, if the…
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…
We study entire functions whose zeros and one-points lie on distinct finite systems of rays. General restrictions on these rays are obtained. Non-trivial examples of entire functions with zeros and one-points on different rays are…
Using Talagrand's concentration inequality on the discrete cube {0,1}^m we show that given a real-valued function Z(x)on {0,1}^m that satisfies certain monotonicity conditions one can control the deviations of Z(x) above its median by a…
We study the ratio of harmonic functions $u,v$, which have the same zero set $Z$ in the unit ball $B\subset \mathbb{R}^n$. The ratio $f=u/v$ can be extended to a real analytic nowhere vanishing function in $B$. We prove the Harnack…
It is shown that the absolute values of Riemann's zeta function and two related functions strictly decrease when the imaginary part of the argument is fixed to any number with absolute value at least 8 and the real part of the argument is…
