In the present paper, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the functions $x^\alpha\bigl\lvert\psi^{(i)}(x+\beta)\bigr\lvert$ and $\alpha\bigl\lvert\psi^{(i)}(x+\beta)\bigr\lvert-x\bigl\lvert\psi^{(i+1)}(x+\beta)\bigr\lvert$…
This article is concerned with a class of elliptic equations on Carnot groups depending of one real positive parameter and involving a critical nonlinearity. As a special case of our results we prove the existence of at least one nontrivial…
We derive a boundary monotonicity formula for a class of biharmonic maps with Dirichlet boundary conditions. A monotonicity formula is crucial in the theory of partial regularity in super-critical dimensions. As a consequence of such a…
We study the regularity of weak solutions for two elliptic systems involving the $n$-Laplacian and a critical nonlinearity in the right hand side: $H$-systems and $n$-harmonic maps into compact Riemannian manifolds. Under the assumptions…
This paper is concerned with the monotonicity of the period function for closed orbits of systems of the Li\'enard II type equation given by $\ddot{x} + f(x)\dot{x}^{2} + g(x) = 0$. We generalize Chicone's result regarding the monotonicity…
In this paper we prove some monotonicity, log--convexity and log--concavity properties for the Volterra and incomplete Volterra functions. Moreover, as consequences of these results, we present some functional inequalities (like Tur\'an…
In this paper we derive Carleman estimates for the fractional relativistic operator. We consider changing-sign solutions to the heat equation for such operators. We prove monotonicity inequalities and convexity of certain energy functionals…
Under the assumption that the approximating function $\psi$ is monotonic, the classical Khintchine-Groshev theorem provides an elegant probabilistic criterion for the Lebesgue measure of the set of $\psi$-approximable matrices in $\R^{mn}$.…
In this paper, we prove new existence and multiplicity results for critical points of lower semicontinuous functionals in Banach spaces, complementing the nonsmooth critical point theory set forth by Szulkin and avoiding the need of the…
This paper is on $\Gamma$-convergence for degenerate integral functionals related to homogenisation problems in the Heisenberg group. Here both the rescaling and the notion of invariance or periodicity are chosen in a way motivated by the…
The matrix convexity and the matrix monotony of a real $C^1$ function $f$ on $(0,\infty)$ are characterized in terms of the conditional negative or positive definiteness of the Loewner matrices associated with $f$, $tf(t)$, and $t^2f(t)$.…
In this paper we consider classical solutions $u$ of the semilinear fractional problem $(-\Delta)^s u = f(u)$ in $\mathbb{R}^N_+$ with $u=0$ in $\mathbb{R}^N \setminus \mathbb{R}^N_+$, where $(-\Delta)^s$, $0<s<1$, stands for the fractional…
We prove quasi-polynomiality for monotone and strictly monotone orbifold Hurwitz numbers. The second enumerative problem is also known as enumeration of a special kind of Grothendieck's dessins d'enfants or $r$-hypermaps. These statements…
We study harmonic maps from Riemannian manifolds into arbitrary non-positively curved and CAT(-1) metric spaces. First we discuss the domain variation formula with special emphasis on the error terms. Expanding higher order terms of this…
Recently, some authors have proved monotonicity results for delta and nabla fractional differences separately. In this article, we use dual identities relating delta and nabla fractional difference operators to prove shortly the…
In present paper, we prove the monotonicity of two functions involving the gamma function $\Gamma(x)$ and relating to the $n$-dimensional volume of the unit ball $\mathbb{B}^n$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$.
We prove a lower bound of $\Omega(n^{1/2 - c})$, for all $c>0$, on the query complexity of (two-sided error) non-adaptive algorithms for testing whether an $n$-variable Boolean function is monotone versus constant-far from monotone. This…
It is known since the late 1960's that the dual of the category of compact Hausdorff spaces and continuous maps is a variety -- not finitary, but bounded by $\aleph_1$. In this note we show that the dual of the category of partially ordered…
In this paper, we consider weighted Bergman spaces $\mathcal{B}_{\alpha,p}$ of log-subharmonic functions on the unit sphere. Using the isoperimetric inequality for the spherical metric we prove certain monotonicity property for super-level…
In this paper we study compact monotone tall complexity one $T$-spaces. We use the classification of Karshon and Tolman, and the monotone condition, to prove that any two such spaces are isomorphic if and only if they have equal…
