The problem of maximizing non-negative monotone submodular functions under a certain constraint has been intensively studied in the last decade. In this paper, we address the problem for functions defined over the integer lattice. Suppose…

Let $f$ be an entire function of finite exponential type less than or equal to $\sigma$ which is bounded by $1$ on the real axis and satisfies $f(0) = 1$. Under these assumptions H\"ormander showed that $f$ cannot decay faster than…

We consider the problem of characterizing all functions $f$ defined on the set of integers modulo $n$ with the property that an average of some $n$th roots of unity determined by $f$ is always an algebraic integer. Examples of such…

We prove that for $\alpha \in (d-1,d]$, one has the trace inequality \begin{align*} \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} |I_\alpha F| \;d\nu \leq C |F|(\mathbb{R}^d)\|\nu\|_{\mathcal{M}^{d-\alpha}(\mathbb{R}^d)} \end{align*} for all solenoidal vector…

This paper is devoted to give a simplified proof of the trace theorem for functions of bounded deformation defined on bounded Lipschitz domains of $\mathbb{R}^n$. As a consequence, the existence of one-sided Lebesgue limits on countably…

This paper studies the following question: given a piecewise-linear function, find its minimal algebraic representation as a tropical rational signomial. We put forward two different notions of minimality, one based on monomial length, the…

A function $f:[a,b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is called $(p,a,b)$-convex if $f$ is $p$ times continuously differentiable, $f^{(p)}$ is convex and increasing, and $f^{(k)}(a)=0$ for all $k=1,\ldots,p$ where $f^{(j)}$ is the $j$th derivative of…

In this article we derive differential recursion relations for the Laguerre functions on the cone C of positive definite real matrices. The highest weight representations of the group Sp(n,R) play a fundamental role. Each such…

Let $1 \leq d < D$ and $(p,q,s)$ satisfying $0 < p < \infty$, $0 < q \leq \infty$, $0 < s-d/p < \infty$. In this article we study the global and local regularity properties of traces, on affine subsets of $\R^D$, of functions belonging to…

A function is exponentially concave if its exponential is concave. We consider exponentially concave functions on the unit simplex. In a previous paper we showed that gradient maps of exponentially concave functions provide solutions to a…

We establish several operator extensions of the Chebyshev inequality. The main version deals with the Hadamard product of Hilbert space operators. More precisely, we prove that if $\mathscr{A}$ is a $C^*$-algebra, $T$ is a compact Hausdorff…

Using Stickelberger's theorem on Gauss sums, we show that if $F$ is a planar function on a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, then for all non-zero functions $G : \mathbb{F}_q \to \mathbb{F}_q$, we have \begin{equation*} d_{\mathsf{alg}}(G \circ…

This paper provides sharp lower estimates near the origin for the functional calculus $F(-uA)$ of a generator $A$ of an operator semigroup defined on the (strictly) positive real line; here $F$ is given as the Laplace transform of a measure…

The diagonal of a multivariate power series F is the univariate power series Diag(F) generated by the diagonal terms of F. Diagonals form an important class of power series; they occur frequently in number theory, theoretical physics and…

We introduce certain functors from the category of commutative rings (and related categories) to that of $\mathbb{Z}$-algebras (not necessarily associative or commutative). One of the motivating examples is the Leavitt path algebra functor…

In this paper we deal with the radii of starlikeness and convexity of the $q-$Mittag--Leffler function for three different kinds of normalization by making use of their Hadamard factorization in such a way that the resulting functions are…

For a field $\mathbb{F}$, what are all functions $f \colon \mathbb{F} \rightarrow \mathbb{F}$ that satisfy the functional equation $f \left( (x+y)/(x-y) \right) = (f(x) + f(y))/(f(x) - f(y))$ for all $ x \neq y$ in $\mathbb{F}$? We solve…

We consider minimizers of linear functionals of the type $$L(u)=\int_{\p \Omega} u \, d \sigma - \int_{\Omega} u \, dx$$ in the class of convex functions $u$ with prescribed determinant $\det D^2 u =f$. We obtain compactness properties for…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex domain and let $f:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a subharmonic function, $\Delta f \geq 0$, which satisfies $f \geq 0$ on the boundary $\partial \Omega$. Then $$ \int_{\Omega}{f ~dx} \leq…

We prove the weak Harnack inequality for the functions $u$ which belong to the corresponding De Giorgi classes $DG^{-}(\Omega)$ under the additional assumption that $u\in L^{s}_{loc}(\Omega)$ with some $s> 0$. In particular, our result…
