A highly strong upper estimate in the modified asymptotic formula for sums of the primes' reciprocals is proved to be necessary (as well as sufficient) in order the Ramanujan inequality holds true. Some other criteria in similar terms are…

Simple inequalities for some integrals involving the modified Struve function of the first kind $\mathbf{L}_{\nu}(x)$ are established. In most cases, these inequalities have best possible constant. We also deduce a tight double inequality,…

Motivated by scheme theory, we introduce strong nonnegativity on real varieties, which has the property that a sum of squares is strongly nonnegative. We show that this algebraic property is equivalent to nonnegativity for nonsingular real…

A generalization of the H\"older inequality is considered. Its relations with a previously obtained improvement of the Cauchy--Schwarz inequality are discussed.

Elementary proofs are given for sums of Schur functions over partitions into at most n parts each less than or equal to m for which i) all parts are even, ii) all parts of the conjugate partition are even. Also, an elementary proof of a…

Professor Georges Rhin considers a nonzero algebraic integer $\a$ with conjugates $\a_1=\a, \ldots, \a_d$ and asks what can be said about $\d \sum_{ | \a_i | >1} | \a_i |$, that we denote ${\rm{R}}(\a)$. If $\a$ is supposed to be a totally…

In a 1918 paper Schur proved a remarkable inequality that related group representations, Hermitian forms and determinants. He also gave concise necessary and sufficient conditions for equality. In 1964, Marcus gave a beautiful short proof…

We find a simple criterion for the equality $Q_\lambda=Q_{\mu/\nu}$ where $Q_\lambda$ and $Q_{\mu/\nu}$ are Schur's Q-functions on infinitely many variables.

We present new determinant expressions for regularized Schur multiple zeta values. These generalize the known Jacobi-Trudi formulae and can be used to quickly evaluate certain types of Schur multiple zeta values. Using these formulae we…

Schur rings are a type of subring of the group ring that is spanned by a partition of the group that meets certain conditions. Past literature has exclusively focused on the finite group case. This paper extends many classic results about…

We show that the Schur polynomials in all primitive $n$th roots of unity are $1$, $0$, or $-1$, if $n$ has at most two distinct odd prime factors. This result can be regarded as a generalization of properties of the coefficients of the…

Some improvements of the celebrated Schwarz inequality in complex inner product spaces are given. Applications for n-tuples of complex numbers are provided.

We consider cones of real forms which are sums of squares forms and invariant by a (finite) reflection group. We show how the representation theory of these groups allows to use the symmetry inherent in these cones to give more efficient…

We introduce a product in all complex normed vector spaces, which generalizes the inner product of complex inner product spaces. Naturally the question occurs whether the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is fulfilled. We provide a positive answer.…

This note presents a unified theorem of the alternative that explicitly allows for any combination of equality, componentwise inequality, weak dominance, strict dominance, and nonnegativity relations. The theorem nests 60 special cases,…

Words whose three successive factors of the same length are all different i.e. 3-anti-power words are a natural extension of square-free words (two successive factors of the same length are different). We give a way to verify whether a…

In this short note, we treat an unbalanced shifted convolution sum of Fourier coefficients of cusp forms by a rather simple argument. Our result improves previous results established by more advanced approaches.

Computing the permanent of a non-negative matrix is a computationally challenging, \#P-complete problem with wide-ranging applications. We introduce a novel permanental analogue of Schur's determinant formula, leveraging a newly defined…

We derive an explicit simple formula for expectations of all Schur functions in the real Ginibre ensemble. It is a positive integer for all entries of the partition even and zero otherwise. The result can be used to determine the average of…

Numerous results on self-reciprocal polynomials over finite fields have been studied. In this paper we generalize some of these to a-self reciprocal polynomials defined in [4]. We consider some properties of the divisibility of a-reciprocal…
