We introduce two probabilistic models of random log-concave polynomials, the uniform model and the beta model, and study the asymptotic distribution of their zeros in the complex plane. In the uniform model, we show that the empirical root…

Using the Bernstein theorem we give a simple proof of the complete monotonicity of the three parameter generalized Mittag-Leffler function $E_{\alpha, \beta}^{\gamma}(-x)$ for $x \geq 0$ and suitably adjusted parameters $\alpha$, $\beta$…

In the paper, after reviewing the history, background, origin, and applications of the functions $\frac{b^{t}-a^{t}}{t}$ and $\frac{e^{-\alpha t}-e^{-\beta t}}{1-e^{-t}}$, we establish sufficient and necessary conditions such that the…

It is shown that, if nu >= 1/2 then the generalized Marcum Q function Q_nu(a, b) is log-concave in 0<=b <infty. This proves a conjecture of Sun, Baricz and Zhou (2010). We also point out relevant results in the statistics literature.

Let $\alpha>0$ be a constant, let $\ell\ge0$ be an integer, and let $\Gamma(z)$ denote the classical Euler gamma function. With the help of the integral representation for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(z)$, by virtue of a monotonicity…

The normalized incomplete beta function can be defined either as cumulative distribution function of beta density or as the Gauss hypergeometric function with one of the upper parameters equal to unity. Logarithmic concavity/convexity of…

In this paper, we present an extension of Mittag-Leffler function by using the extension of beta functions (\"{O}zergin et al. in J. Comput. Appl. Math. 235 (2011), 4601-4610) and obtain some integral representation of this newly defined…

The paper is devoted to study analogues of the van der Corput lemmas involving Mittag-Leffler functions. The generalisation is that we replace the exponential function with the Mittag-Leffler-type function, to study oscillatory integrals…

Under the assumption of the Riemann Hypothesis, the Linear Independence Hypothesis, and a bound on negative discrete moments of the Riemann zeta function, we prove the existence of a limiting logarithmic distribution of the normalisation of…

In the article, a notion "logarithmically absolutely monotonic function" is introduced, an inclusion that a logarithmically absolutely monotonic function is also absolutely monotonic is revealed, the logarithmically complete monotonicity…

We show a general phenomenon of the constrained functional value for densities satisfying general convexity conditions, which generalizes the observation in Bobkov and Madiman (2011) that the entropy per coordinate in a log-concave random…

In this paper, we shall find the order of starlikeness and convexity for integral operators \begin{equation*} \mathbb{F}_{\alpha _{j},\beta _{j},\lambda _{j},\zeta }(z)=\left\{ \zeta \int\limits_{0}^{z}t^{\zeta -1}\prod_{j=1}^{n}\left(…

This paper studies the connections between the zeros and their distribution functions for two particular Dirichlet $L$ functions: the Riemann zeta function, and the Catalan beta function, also known as the Dirichlet beta function. It is…

We investigate geometric and functional inequalities for the class of log-concave probability sequences. We prove dilation inequalities for log-concave probability measures on the integers. A functional analogue of this geometric inequality…

Let $u$ be the first Dirichlet Laplacian eigenfunction of a bounded convex set $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We strengthen the classical result by Brascamp-Lieb which asserts that $u$ is logconcave in $\Omega$: we prove that, if $u$ is…

The linear operator $c + (-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}$, where $c > 0$ and $(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}$ is the fractional Laplacian on the periodic domain, arises in the existence of periodic travelling waves in the fractional Korteweg--de Vries equation.…
