In this paper we study several monotonicity axioms in approval-based multi-winner voting rules. We consider monotonicity with respect to the support received by the winners and also monotonicity in the size of the committee. Monotonicity…
In this work, we investigate a problem posed by Feng Qi and Bai-Ni Guo in their paper Complete monotonicities of functions involving the gamma and digamma functions.
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…
In the paper, we present a monotonicity result of a function involving the gamma function and the logarithmic function, refine a double inequality for the gamma function, and improve some known results for bounding the gamma function.
A partial algebra construction of Gr\"atzer and Schmidt from "Characterizations of congruence lattices of abstract algebras" (Acta Sci. Math. (Szeged) 24 (1963), 34-59) is adapted to provide an alternative proof to a well-known fact that…
We provide a characterization of those nonmonotonic inference operations C for which C(X) may be described as the set of all logical consequences of X together with some set of additional assumptions S(X) that depends anti-monotonically on…
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…
Ergodic theory includes several notions of entropy for probability-preserving actions of countable groups. These include Kolmogorov--Sinai entropy based on F\o lner sequences for amenable groups, entropy defined using a random ordering of…
We prove some new results and unify the proofs of old ones involving complete monotonicity of expressions involving gamma and $q$-gamma functions, $0 < q < 1$. Each of these results implies the infinite divisibility of a related probability…
The von Neumann entropy of a density matrix of dimension d, expressed in terms of the first d-1 integer order R\'enyi entropies, is monotonically increasing in R\'enyi entropies of even order and decreasing in those of odd order.
We study the representation theory of the increasing monoid. Our results provide a fairly comprehensive picture of the representation category: for example, we describe the Grothendieck group (including the effective cone), classify…
In this paper we provide a counterexample about the existence of an increasing monotonicity behavior of a function introduced in \cite{FeFo}, companion of the celebrated Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman monotonicity formula, in the noncommutative…
Operator monotone functions, introduced by Lowner in 1934, are an important class of real-valued functions. They arise naturally in matrix and operator theory and have various applications in other branches of mathematics and related…
This article concerns the antisymmetry, uniqueness, and monotonicity properties of solutions to some elliptic functionals involving weights and a double well potential. In the one-dimensional case, we introduce the continuous odd…
We prove an Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman montonicity formula for pairs of functions solving elliptic equations driven by different ellipticity matrices in their positivity sets. As application, we derive Liouville-type theorems for subsolutions…
In this paper, the algebra of the differences of two multiply monotone functions on $\mathbb{R}_+=(0,+\infty)$ is studied. A sufficient condition for the function $f_0\big(|x|_{p,d}\big)$, where…
Given two random variables $X$ and $Y$, stochastic monotonicity describes a monotone influence of $X$ on $Y$. We prove two different characterizations of stochastically monotone $2$-copulas using the isomorphism between $2$-copulas and…
We study the behaviour of the constant that is provided in the articles [12] and [13], which is connected with the determination of the Bellman function of three integral variables of the dyadic maximal operator. More precisely we study the…
The monotone rearrrangement algorithm was introduced by Hardy, Littlewood and P\'olya as a sorting device for functions. Assuming that $x$ is a monotone function and that an estimate $x_n$ of $x$ is given, consider the monotone…
