It has been shown that if $T$ is a complex matrix, then {\small\begin{align*} \omega(T)&=\frac{1}{n}\sup\left\{|\mathrm{Tr}\ X|;\ X\in W^n(T)\right\}\\ &=\frac{1}{n}\sup\left\{\|X\|_1;\ X\in W^n(T)\right\}\\ &= \sup\left\{ \omega(X);\ X\in…

The process of alternately row scaling and column scaling a positive $n \times n$ matrix $A$ converges to a doubly stochastic positive $n \times n$ matrix $S(A)$, often called the \emph{Sinkhorn limit} of $A$. The main result in this paper…

Let $A$ be a positive semidefinite $m\times m$ block matrix with each block $n$-square, then the following determinantal inequality for partial traces holds \[ (\mathrm{tr} A)^{mn} - \det(\mathrm{tr}_2 A)^n \ge \bigl| \det A -…

We provide sufficient conditions under which the difference of the resolvents of two higher-order operators acting in $\R^N$ belongs to trace classes $\cC^p$. We provide explicit estimates on the norm of the resolvent difference in terms of…

In this work, using the well-known mean-value theorem (Lagrange's theorem) we obtain an inequality for n-th order differential equations with retarded argument. If the retarded argument vanishes then the inequality turns to an inequality…

In this paper we consider pentadiagonal $(n+1)\times(n+1)$ matrices with two subdiagonals and two superdiagonals at distances $k$ and $2k$ from the main diagonal where $1\le k<2k\le n$. We give an explicit formula for their determinants and…

Let $(X_i, \mathcal{F}_i)_{i\geq1}$ be a martingale difference sequence in a smooth Banach space. Let $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^nX_i, n\geq 1,$ be the partial sums of $(X_i, \mathcal{F}_i)_{i\geq 1}$. We give upper bounds on the quantity…

The Gini index signals only the dispersion of the distribution and is not very sensitive to income differences at the tails of the distribution. The widely used index of inequality can be adjusted to also measure distributional asymmetry by…

We derive heuristically the approximate formula for the difference $\sqrt{p_{n+1}} - \sqrt{p_n}$, where $p_n$ is the n-th prime. We find perfect agreement between this formula and the available data from the list of maximal gaps between…

We elaborate on the deviation of the Jordan structures of two linear relations that are finite-dimensional perturbations of each other. We compare their number of Jordan chains of length at least $n$. In the operator case, it was recently…

We consider the problem of distinguishing between two arbitrary black-box distributions defined over the domain [n], given access to $s$ samples from both. It is known that in the worst case O(n^{2/3}) samples is both necessary and…

For a $m\times n$ matrix $B=(b_{ij})_{m\times n}$ with nonnegative entries $b_{ij}$ and any $k\times l-$submatrix $B_{ij}$ of $B$, let $a_{B_{ij}}$ and $g_{B_{ij}}$ denote the arithmetic mean and geometric mean of elements of $B_{ij}$…

For the functions $f$, which can be represented in the form of the convolution $f(x)=\frac{a_{0}}{2}+\frac{1}{\pi}\int\limits_{-\pi}^{\pi}\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}e^{-\alpha k^{r}}\cos(kt-\frac{\beta\pi}{2})\varphi(x-t)dt$,…

For all $s \geq 1$ and $N \geq 1$ there exist sequences $(z_1,\ldots,z_N)$ in $[0,1]^s$ such that the star-discrepancy of these points can be bounded by $$D_N^*(z_1,\ldots,z_N) \leq c \frac{\sqrt{s}}{\sqrt{N}}.$$ The best known value for…

We give a construction of an absolutely normal real number $x$ such that for every integer $b $ greater than or equal to $2$, the discrepancy of the first $N$ terms of the sequence $(b^n x \mod 1)_{n\geq 0}$ is of asymptotic order…

Let $ (H_s(n))_{n \geq 1} $ be an $s-$dimensional generalized Halton's sequence. Let $\emph{D}^{*}_N$ be the discrepancy of the sequence $ (H_s(n) )_{n = 1}^{N} $. It is known that $D^{*}_{N} =O(\ln^s N)$ as $N \to \infty $. In this paper,…

The fundamental matrix and the delay Lyapunov matrix of linear delay difference equations are introduced. Some properties of the Lyapunov matrix, and the jump discontinuities of its derivative are proven, leading to its construction in the…

A circle $C$ separates two planar sets if it encloses one of the sets and its open interior disk does not meet the other set. A separating circle is a largest one if it cannot be locally increased while still separating the two given sets.…

Measuring distances in a multidimensional setting is a challenging problem, which appears in many fields of science and engineering. In this paper, to measure the distance between two multivariate distributions, we introduce a new measure…

We determine the Lagrange function in Taylor polynomial approximation by solving an appropriate initial-value problem. Hence, we determine the remainder term which we then approximate by means of a natural cubic spline. This results in a…
