After a brief review of the definition and properties of the quantum effective Hamiltonian action we describe its renormalization flow by a functional RG equation. This equation can be used for a non-perturbative quantization and study also…
In this paper we provide sufficient conditions that ensure the monotonicity, respectively the global injectivity of an operator. Further, some new analytical conditions that assure the injectivity/univalence of a complex function of one…
The purpose of this paper is to extend the definition of quasiarithmetic means by taking a strictly monotone generating function instead of a strictly monotone and continuous one. We establish the properties of such means and compare them…
We consider the problem of testing equality of functions $f_j:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}$ for $j=1,2,...,J$ the basis of $J$ independent samples from possibly different distributions under the assumption that the functions are monotone. We provide…
If $\sigma$ is a symmetric mean and $f$ is an operator monotone function on $[0, \infty)$, then $$f(2(A^{-1}+B^{-1})^{-1})\le f(A\sigma B)\le f((A+B)/2).$$ Conversely, Ando and Hiai showed that if $f$ is a function that satisfies either one…
A $q$-analogue of the multiple gamma functions is introduced, and is shown to satisfy the generalized Bohr-Morellup theorem. Furthermore we give some expressions of these function.
An inequality concerning ratios of gamma functions is proved. This answers a question of Guo and Qi (2003).
A function $\rho:[0,\infty)\to(0,1]$ is a completely monotonic function if and only if $\rho(\Vert\mathbf{x}\Vert^2)$ is positive definite on $\mathbb{R}^d$ for all $d$ and thus it represents the correlation function of a weakly stationary…
An elementary, but very useful lemma due to Biernacki and Krzy\.{z} (1955) asserts that the ratio of two power series inherits monotonicity from that of the sequence of ratios of their respective coefficients. Over the last two decades it…
We analyze and characterize maximal monotonicity of linear relations (set-valued operators with linear graphs). An important tool in our study are Fitzpatrick functions. The results obtained partially extend work on linear and at most…
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…
We consider products of $q$-gamma functions with rational arguments, and prove several $q$-generalizations of recent works concerning products of gamma functions. In particular, we consider products indexed by Dirichlet characters, and…
We prove new l'Hopital rules for monotonicity valid on an arbitrary time scale. Both delta and nabla monotonic l'Hopital rules are obtained. As an example of application, we give some new upper and lower bounds for the exponential function…
This paper investigates the classical Gurland ratio of the gamma function and introduces its modified form, $\mathcal{G}^{\star}(x,y)$, which is particularly amenable to analytic expansions. By utilizing the Weierstrass product…
First we prove some kernel representations for the covariance of two functions taken on the same random variable and deduce kernel representations for some functionals of a continuous one-dimensional measure. Then we apply these formulas to…
The comonotonic maxitivity property of functionals frequently appears in the characterization of fuzzy integrals based on the maximum operation. In some special cases, comonotonic maxitivity implies monotonicity of functionals. The question…
This article studies the monotonicity, log-convexity of the modified Lommel functions by using its power series and infinite product representation. Same properties for the ratio of the modified Lommel functions with the Lommel function,…
We investigate the homogenization through Gamma-convergence for the L^2(\Omega)-weak topology of the conductivity functional with a zero-order term where the matrix-valued conductivity is assumed to be non strongly elliptic. Under proper…
