Bernoulli-$p$ thinning has been well-studied for point processes. Here we consider three other cases: (1) sequences $(X_1,X_2,...)$; (2) gaps of such sequences $(X_{n+1}-X_1)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$; (3) partition structures. For the first case…

We prove a global version of the classical result that $p$-harmonic functions belong to $W^{2,2}_{loc}$ for $1<p<3+\frac{2}{n-2}$. The proof relies on Cordes' matrix inequalities [7] and techniques from the work of Cianchi and Maz'ya [5,6].

We prove inequalities on non-integer powers of products of generalized matrices functions on the sum of positive semi-definite matrices. For example, for any real number $r \in \{1\} \cup [2, \infty)$, positive semi-definite matrices $A_i,\…

For $\alpha,z>0$ with $\alpha\ne1$, motivated by comparison between different kinds of R\'enyi divergences in quantum information, we consider log-majorization between the matrix functions \begin{align*}…

Let $p_{k}(n)$ be the coefficient of $q^n$ in the series expansion of $(q;q)_{\infty}^{k}$. It is known that the partition function $p(n)$, which corresponds to the case when $k=-1$, satisfies congruences such as $p(5n+4)\equiv 0\pmod{5}$.…

For $k\geq i\geq 1$, let $B_{k,i}(n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ such that part 1 appears at most $i-1$ times, two consecutive integers l and $l+1$ appear at most $k-1$ times and if l and $l+1$ appear exactly $k-1$ times then…

We consider the algebra of invariants of $d$-tuples of $n\times n$ matrices under the action of the orthogonal group by simultaneous conjugation over an infinite field of characteristic $p$ different from two. It is well-known that this…

We study log-concavity properties of real sequences $(a_n)_{n \ge 0}$ satisfying a $d$-th order linear recurrence whose coefficients are linear functions of $n$; the so-called P-recursive (or holonomic) sequences. Writing the recurrence in…

In this paper we discuss convexity, its average principle, an extrinsic average variational method in the Calculus of Variations, an average method in Partial Differential Equations, a link of convexity to $p$-subharmonicity, subsolutions…

We prove that the number $q(n)$ of partitions into distinct parts is log-concave for $n \geq 33$ and satisfies the higher order Tur\'an inequalities for $n\geq 121$ conjectured by Craig and Pun. In doing so, we establish explicit error…

We study linear $\alpha_p$-actions on affine spaces and the associated quotient singularities, using explicit stacky resolutions. We describe when the quotient singularities are log canonical, canonical or terminal, and we compute their…

Bringmann and Lovejoy introduced a rank for overpartition pairs and investigated its role in congruence properties of $\bar{pp}(n)$, the number of overpartition pairs of n. In particular, they applied the theory of Klein forms to show that…

We consider the algorithmic problem of finding a near-optimal solution for the number partitioning problem (NPP). The NPP appears in many applications, including the design of randomized controlled trials, multiprocessor scheduling, and…

The $p$-curvature of a system of linear differential equations in positive characteristic $p$ is a matrix that measures how far the system is from having a basis of polynomial solutions. We show that the similarity class of the…

We will prove several congruences modulo a power of a prime such as $$ \sum_{0<k_1<...<k_{n}<p}\leg{p-k_{n}}{3} {(-1)^{k_{n}}\over k_1... k_{n}}\equiv {lll} -{2^{n+1}+2\over 6^{n+1}} p B_{p-n-1}({1\over 3}) &\pmod{p^2} &{if $n$ is odd}…

In [12] it has been shown that $(p,q)$ Sobolev inequality with $p>q$ implies the doubling condition on the underlying measure. We show that even weaker Orlicz-Sobolev inequalities, where the gain on the left-hand side is smaller than any…

Let $p_{-t}(n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ into $t$ colors. In analogy with Ramanujan's work on the partition function, Lin recently proved in \cite{Lin} that $p_{-3}(11n+7)\equiv0\pmod{11}$ for every integer $n$. Such…

In information theory, the well-known log-sum inequality is a fundamental tool which indicates the non-negativity for the relative entropy. In this article, we establish a set of inequalities which are similar to the log-sum inequality…

This short note provides a sharper upper bound of a well known inequality for the sum of divisors function. This is a problem in pure mathematics related to the distribution of prime numbers. Furthermore, the technique is completely…

Let $p>1$ and $1/p+1/q=1$. Consider H\"older's inequality $$ \|ab^*\|_1\le \|a\|_p\|b\|_q $$ for the $p$-norms of some trace ($a,b$ are matrices, compact operators, elements of a finite $C^*$-algebra or a semi-finite von Neumann algebra).…
