We define a sequence of positive integers recursively, where each term is determined as follows: starting with a given positive integer, if the term is odd, the next is the sum of its positive divisors; if the term is even, the subsequent…
Quantum states are represented by positive semidefinite Hermitian operators with unit trace, known as density matrices. An important subset of quantum states is that of separable states, the complement of which is the subset of…
This paper mainly studies nonnegativity decision of forms based on variable substitutions. Unlike existing research, the paper regards simplex subdivisions as new perspectives to study variable substitutions, gives some subdivisions of the…
A second order finite-difference equation has two linearly independent solutions. It is shown here that, like in the continuous case, at most one of the two can be a polynomial solution. The uniqueness in the classical continuous…
Let $K:={x: g(x)\leq 1}$ be the compact sub-level set of some homogeneous polynomial $g$. Assume that the only knowledge about $K$ is the degree of $g$ as well as the moments of the Lebesgue measure on $K$ up to order 2d. Then the vector of…
This paper is about the moment problem on a finite-dimensional vector space of continuous functions. We investigate the structure of the convex cone of moment functionals (supporting hyperplanes, exposed faces, inner points) and treat…
We investigate moment sequences of probability measures on $E\subset\mathbb{R}$ under constraints of certain moments being fixed. This corresponds to studying sections of $n$-th moment spaces, i.e. the spaces of moment sequences of order…
The following theorem is proved: Suppose $M = (a_{i,j})$ be a $k \times k$ matrix with positive entries and $a_{i,j}a_{i+1,j+1} > 4\cos ^2 \frac{\pi}{k+1} a_{i,j+1}a_{i+1,j} \quad (1 \leq i \leq k-1, 1 \leq j \leq k-1).$ Then $\det M > 0 .$…
Some monotone increasing sequences of the lower bounds for the minimum eigenvalue of $M$-matrices are given. It is proved that these sequences are convergent and improve some existing results. Numerical examples show that these sequences…
Given $0<q<1,$ every absolutely continuous distribution can be described in two different ways: in terms of a probability density function and also in terms of a $q$-density. Correspondingly, it has a sequence of moments and a sequence of…
We first derive the recurisions for integer moments of two-type continuous-state branching processes in L\'{e}vy random environments. Result shows that the $n$th moment of the process is a polynomial of the initial value of the process with…
Let $\mu$ be a given Borel measure on $\K\subseteq\R^n$ and let $y=(y_\alpha)$, $\alpha\in\N^n$, be a given sequence. We provide several conditions linking $y$ and the moment sequence $z=(z_\alpha)$ of $\mu$, for $y$ to be the moment…
In experiment, the multiplicity distributions of inelastic processes are truncated due to finite energy, insufficient statistics or special choice of events. It is shown that the moments of such truncated multiplicity distributions possess…
The conventional definition of extremality of a finite collection of sets is extended by replacing a fixed point (extremal point) in the intersection of the sets by a collection of sequences of points in the individual sets with the…
Patterns on numerical semigroups are multivariate linear polynomials, and they are said to be admissible if there exists a numerical semigroup such that evaluated at any nonincreasing sequence of elements of the semigroup gives integers…
Top monotonicity is a relaxation of various well-known domain restrictions such as single-peaked and single-crossing for which negative impossibility results are circumvented and for which the median-voter theorem still holds. We examine…
For each 1 < p < infinity, there exists a positive constant c_p, depending only on p, such that the following holds. Let (d_k), (e_k) be real-valued martingale difference sequences. If for for all bounded nonnegative predictable sequences…
There has been significant interest in studying the asymptotics of certain generalised moments, called the moments of moments, of characteristic polynomials of random Haar-distributed unitary and symplectic matrices, as the matrix size $N$…
The moments of random variables are fundamental statistical measures for characterizing the shape of a probability distribution, encompassing metrics such as mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis. Additionally, the product moments,…
We consider a variational problem with boundary singularity and Dirichlet condition. We give a blow-up analysis for sequences of solutions of an equation with exponential nonlinearity. Also, we derive a compactness criterion under some…
