Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex domain and let $f:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a positive, subharmonic function (i.e. $\Delta f \geq 0$). Then $$ \frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int_{\Omega}{f dx} \leq \frac{c_n}{ |\partial \Omega| }…

Alanzi et al. (2022) investigated overpartition of a positive integer $n$ with $\ell$-regular non-overlined parts denoted by $\overline R_\ell^\ast (n)$, and proved some results for the case $\ell=3$. As extension to the results of Alanzi…

We prove two inequalities for the Mittag-Leffler function, namely that the function $\log E_\alpha(x^\alpha)$ is sub-additive for $0<\alpha<1,$ and super-additive for $\alpha>1.$ These assertions follow from two new binomial inequalities,…

Let $\overline{N}_2(a,c,n)$ be the number of overpartitions of $n$ whose the $M_2$-rank is congruent to $a$ modulo $c$. In this paper, we obtain the asymptotic formula of $\overline{N}_2(a,c,n)$ utilizing the Ingham Tauberian Theorem. As…

For each positive integer $n$, we denote by $\omega^*(n)$ the number of shifted-prime divisors $p-1$ of $n$, i.e., \[\omega^*(n):=\sum_{p-1\mid n}1.\] First introduced by Prachar in 1955, this function has interesting applications in…

Heim, Neuhauser, and Tr\"oger recently established some inequalities for MacMahon's plane partition function $\mathrm{PL}(n)$ that generalize known results for Euler's partition function $p(n)$. They also conjectured that $\mathrm{PL}(n)$…

Let $\overline{p}(n)$ be the number of overpartitions of $n$, we establish and give a short elementary proof of the following congruence \[\overline{p}({{4}^{\alpha }}(40n+35))\equiv 0 \, (\bmod \, 40),\] where $\alpha ,n $ are nonnegative…

In this note prove the following Berwald-type inequality, showing that for any integrable log-concave function $f:\mathbb R^n\rightarrow[0,\infty)$ and any concave function $h:L\rightarrow\mathbb [0,\infty)$, where $L$ is the epigraph of…

In this paper, we study the partition functions $\overline{R_\ell^\ast}(n)$, which count the number of overpartitions of $n$ where the non-overlined parts are $\ell$-regular for a given $\ell$. Using elementary techniques, as well as the…

Let $\pi'$ be a fixed unitary cuspidal representation of $\mathrm{GL}(n)/\mathbb{Q}.$ We establish a subconvex bound in the $t$-aspect $$ L(1/2+it,\pi\times\pi')\ll_{\pi,\pi',\varepsilon}(1+|t|)^{\frac{n(n+1)}{4}-\frac{1}{4\cdot…

Let $\omega^*(n)$ be the number of primes $p$ such that $p-1$ divides $n$. Assuming the Elliott--Halberstam Conjecture, we prove a conjecture posted by M. R. Murty and V. K. Murty in 2021 which states that $$\sum_{n\leqslant…

We consider the function $G(n)=\frac{\sigma(n)}{n\log\log n}$ (where $\sigma(n)=\sum_{d|n}d$) and set an imposed condition on its argument $n$, the fulfillment of which is sufficient for the existence of a prime $p$, at which $G(np)>G(n)$.…

Nicolas and DeSalvo and Pak proved that the partition function $p(n)$ is log concave for $n \geq 25$. Chen, Jia and Wang proved that $p(n)$ satisfies the third order Tur\'{a}n inequality, and that the associated degree 3 Jensen polynomials…

Assume that $p > 1$ and $p - 1 \le \alpha \le p$ are real numbers and $\Omega$ is a non-empty open subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$, $n \ge 2$. We consider the inequality $$ {\rm div} \, A (x, D u) + b (x) |D u|^\alpha \ge 0, $$ where $D =…
