In this paper, we consider the monotonicity of certain combinations of the Gaussian hypergeometric functions $F(a-1,b;a+b;1-x^c)$ and $F(a-1-\delta,b+\delta;a+b;1-x^d)$ on $(0,1)$ for $\delta\in(a-1,0)$, and study the problem of comparing…
A new characterization of harmonic functions is obtained. It is based on quadrature identities involving mean values over annular domains and over concentric spheres lying within these domains or on their boundaries. The analogous result…
We study the symmetries enjoyed by the Newtonian equations of motion of the non-relativistic dark matter fluid coupled to gravity which give rise to the phenomenon of gravitational instability. We also discuss some consistency relations…
We investigate qualitative properties of positive singular solutions of some elliptic systems in bounded and unbounded domains. We deduce symmetry and monotonicity properties via the moving plane procedure. Moreover, in the unbounded case,…
In this article, we study the asymptotics of harmonic functions. A typical method is by proving monotonicity formulas of a version of rescaled Dirichlet energy, and use it to study the renormalized solution -- the Almgren's blowup. However,…
In this paper, we prove the convexity of trace functionals $$(A,B,C)\mapsto \text{Tr}|B^{p}AC^{q}|^{s},$$ for parameters $(p,q,s)$ that are best possible, where $B$ and $C$ are any $n$-by-$n$ positive definite matrices, and $A$ is any…
Some real functions f induce mean of positive numbers and the matrix monotonicity gives a possibility for means of positive definite matrices. Moreover, such a function f can define linear mapping beta on matrices (which is basic in the…

Motivated mainly by certain interesting recent extensions of the Gamma, Beta and hypergeometric functions, we introduce here new extensions of the Beta function, hypergeometric and confluent hypergeometric functions. We systematically…
An inequality, which combines the concept of completely monotone functions with the theory of divided differences, is proposed. It is a straightforward generalization of a result, recently introduced by two of the present authors.
We study the power mean inequality of the generalized trigonometric and hyperbolic functions with two parameters. The generalized $p$-trigonometric and $(p, q)$-trigonometric functions were introduced by P. Lindqvist and S. Takeuchi,…
In this paper, we extend the Hermite-Hadamard type $\dot{I}$scan inequality to the class of symmetrized harmonic convex functions. The corresponding version for harmonic h-convex functions is also investigated. Furthermore, we establish…
The main purpose of this paper is to present a number of analytic and geometric properties of the $l$-function and the reduced volume of Perelman, including in particular the monotonicity, the upper bound and the rigidities of the reduced…
Metric spaces provide a framework for analysis and have several very useful properties. Many of these properties follow in part from the triangle inequality. However, there are several applications in which the triangle inequality does not…
We investigate conditions for logarithmic complete monotonicity of a quotient of two products of gamma functions, where the argument of each gamma function has different scaling factor. We give necessary and sufficient conditions in terms…
In this note we provide a full conjugacy and subdifferential calculus for convex convex-composite functions in finite-dimensional space. Our approach, based on infimal convolution and cone-convexity, is straightforward and yields the…
We give new characterizations for matrix monotonicity and convexity of fixed order which connects previous characterizations by Loewner, Dobsch, Donoghue, Kraus and Bendat--Sherman. The ideas introduced are then used to characterize matrix…
