For a poset P, a subposet A, and an order preserving map F from A into the real numbers, the marked order polytope parametrizes the order preserving extensions of F to P. We show that the function counting integral-valued extensions is a…
The investigation and classification of non-unique factorization phenomena has attracted some interest in recent literature. For finitely generated monoids, S.T. Chapman and P.A. Garc\'ia-S\'anchez, together with several co-authors, derived…
We characterize real functions $f$ on an interval $(-\alpha,\alpha)$ for which the entrywise matrix function $[a_{ij}] \mapsto [f(a_{ij})]$ is positive, monotone and convex, respectively, in the positive semidefiniteness order. Fractional…
In this paper, we prove logarithmically complete monotonicity properties of certain ratios of the $k$-gamma function. As a consequence, we deduce some inequalities involving the $k$-gamma and $k$-trigamma functions.
Given a positive function $f$ on $(0,\infty)$ and a non-zero real parameter $\theta$, we consider a function $I_f^\theta(A,B,X)=Tr X^*(f(L_AR_B^{-1})R_B)^\theta(X)$ in three matrices $A,B>0$ and $X$. In the literature $\theta=\pm1$ has been…
In this paper we give simple extension and uniqueness theorems for restricted additive and logarithmic functional equations.
We consider the Schrodinger operator on the real line with even quartic potential and study analytic continuation of eigenvalues, as functions of the coefficient of the potential. We prove several properties of this analytic continuation…
In this paper we are concerned with the study of additive ergodic averages in multiplicative systems and the investigation of the "pretentious" dynamical behaviour of these systems. We prove a mean ergodic theorem (Theorem A) that…
We prove that Riemann's xi function is strictly increasing (respectively, strictly decreasing) in modulus along every horizontal half-line in any zero-free, open right (respectively, left) half-plane. A corollary is a reformulation of the…
The Sensitivity Conjecture and the Log-rank Conjecture are among the most important and challenging problems in concrete complexity. Incidentally, the Sensitivity Conjecture is known to hold for monotone functions, and so is the Log-rank…
This article introduces a weak pseudo-inverse of a monotone function, which is applied to characterize the associativity of a two-place function $T: [0,1]^2\rightarrow [0,1]$ defined by $T(x,y)=t^{[-1]}(F(t(x),t(y)))$ where…
Motivated by a 2001 problem of S\'ark\"ozy, we classify all situations of the integers $b,c,e$ and $f$ satisfying \begin{align*} \limsup_{n\rightarrow\infty}|d(\mathcal{A},bn+c)-d(\mathcal{A},en+f)|=\infty \end{align*} for any infinite…
We generalize the stochastic revealed preference methodology of McFadden and Richter (1990) for finite choice sets to settings with limited consideration. Our approach is nonparametric and requires partial choice set variation. We impose a…
In this paper, we investigate the monotonicity of the functions $t \mapsto \frac{\sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k w_k(t)}{\sum_{k=0}^\infty b_k w_k(t)}$ and $x \mapsto \frac{\int_\alpha^\beta f(t) w(t,x) \textrm{d} t}{\int_\alpha^\beta g(t) w(t,x)…
We analyse the relationship between the full additivity of the entanglement cost and its full monotonicity under local operations and classical communication. We show that the two properties are equivalent for the entanglement cost. The…
In the paper we obtain new estimates for binary and ternary sums of multiplicative characters with additive convolutions of characteristic functions of sets, having small additive doubling. In particular, we improve a result of M.-C. Chang.…
Consider tossing a collection of coins, each fair or biased towards heads, and take the distribution of the total number of heads that result. It is natural to conjecture that this distribution should be 'more random' when each coin is…
Let $X$ be an orbisurface, meaning a compact hyperbolic Riemann surface possibly with a finite number of elliptic points, and let $X_1$ denote its unit tangent bundle. We consider the twisted Selberg zeta function $Z(s;\rho)$ associated to…
We first introduce the generic versions of the fraction rules for monotonicity, i.e. the one that involves integrals known as the Gromov theorem and the other that involves derivatives known as L'H\^opital rule for monotonicity, which we…
The aim of this paper is to develop analytic techniques to deal with certain monotonicity of combinatorial sequences. (1) A criterion for the monotonicity of the function $\sqrt[x]{f(x)}$ is given, which is a continuous analog for one…
