Operator monotone functions, introduced by Lowner in 1934, are an important class of real-valued functions. They arise naturally in matrix and operator theory and have various applications in other branches of mathematics and related…

We revisit second-order-in-time space-time discretizations of the linear and semilinear wave equations by establishing precise equivalences with first-order-in-time formulations. Focusing on schemes using continuous piecewise-polynomial…

As an alternative to the well-known methods of "chaining" and "bracketing" that have been developed in the study of random fields, a new method, which is based on a {\em stochastic maximal inequality} derived by using the formula for…

This article fits in the context of the approach to topological problems in terms of the underlying convergence space structures, and serves as yet another illustration of the power of the method. More specifically, we spell out…

This works introduces several notions of subharmonicity for real-valued functions of one quaternionic variable. These notions are related to the theory of slice regular quaternionic functions introduced by Gentili and Struppa in 2006. The…

We show that for any type in Martin-L\"of Intensional Type Theory, the terms of that type and its higher identity types form a weak omega-category in the sense of Leinster. Precisely, we construct a contractible globular operad of definable…

First, we solve a crucial problem under which conditions increasing uniform K-monotonicity is equivalent to lower locally uniform K-monotonicity. Next, we investigate properties of substochastic operators on $L^1+L^\infty$ with…

The main focus of this paper is to study multi-valued linear monotone operators in the contexts of locally convex spaces via the use of their Fitzpatrick and Penot functions. Notions such as maximal monotonicity, uniqueness,…

In this paper, we prove logarithmically complete monotonicity properties of certain ratios of the $k$-gamma function. As a consequence, we deduce some inequalities involving the $k$-gamma and $k$-trigamma functions.

We settle an open problem of several years standing by showing that the least-squares mean for positive definite matrices is monotone for the usual (Loewner) order. Indeed we show this is a special case of its appropriate generalization to…

This paper is devoted to a systematic study and characterizations of the fundamental notions of variational and strong variational convexity for lower semicontinuous functions. While these notions have been quite recently introduced by…

We investigate the level sets of harmonic functions on $(\mathbb{R}^{3}\setminus \{0\},g)$. Drawing inspiration from Miao, we adopt the method developed by Munteanu-Wang to derive a monotonic quantity associated with the level sets of…

We consider $k$-dimensional discrete-time systems of the form $x_{n+1}=F(x_n,\ldots,x_{n-k+1})$ in which the map $F$ is continuous and monotonic in each one of its arguments. We define a partial order on $\mathbb{R}^{2k}_+$, compatible with…

Borger's theory of $\Lambda$-spaces imbues algebraic spaces, which include schemes, with an additional structure defined by an extension of the Witt vector functor. Motivated by $\mathbb{F}_1$-geometry, we prove the existence of a weak…

Let $g$ be an analytic function on the unit disc and consider the integration operator of the form $T_g f(z) = \int_0^z fg'\,d\zeta$. We show that on the spaces $H^1$ and $BMOA$ the operator $T_g$ is weakly compact if and only if it is…

In this note, by exploiting mean value properties of $s$-harmonic functions, we introduce some monotonicity formulas in the nonlocal setting. We take into account intrinsically nonlocal functionals mimicking those introduced by Alt,…

Let $\mathcal{L}(x,a)$ be defined on $\left( -1,\infty \right) \times \left( 4/15,\infty \right) $ or $\left( 0,\infty \right) \times \left( 1/15,\infty \right) $ by the formula% \begin{equation*} \mathcal{L}(x,a)=\tfrac{1}{90a^{2}+2}\ln…
