We investigate Sobolev spaces $W^{1,\Phi}$ associated to Musielak-Orlicz spaces $L^\Phi$. We first present conditions for the boundedness of the Voltera operator in $L^\Phi$. Employing this, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions…

We prove that for all constants $a\in\N$, $b\in\Z$, $c,d\in\R$, $c\neq 0$, the fractions $\phi(an+b)/(cn+d)$ lie dense in the interval $]0,D]$ (respectively $[D,0[$ if $c<0$), where $D=a\phi(\gcd(a,b))/(c\gcd(a,b))$. This interval is the…

Consider the Mills ratio $f(x)=\big(1-\Phi(x)\big)/\phi(x), \, x\ge 0$, where $\phi$ is the density function of the standard Gaussian law and $\Phi$ its cumulative distribution.We introduce a general procedure to approximate $f$ on the…

We introduce a new shape-constrained class of distribution functions on R, the bi-$s^*$-concave class. In parallel to results of D\"umbgen, Kolesnyk, and Wilke (2017) for what they called the class of bi-log-concave distribution functions,…

We show that there are functions $f$ in the H\"older class $C^{ { \alpha }}[0,1]$, $1< { \alpha }<2$ such that $f|_{A}$ is not convex, nor concave for any $A { \subset } [0,1]$ with $ { \bar { dim }_M } A> { \alpha }-1$. Our earlier result…

If $f(x,y)$ is a real function satisfying $y>0$ and $\sum_{r=0}^{n-1}f(x+ry,ny)=f(x,y)$ for $n=1,2,3,\ldots$, we say that $f(x,y)$ is an invariant function. Many special functions including Bernoulli polynomials, Gamma function and Hurwitz…

We exhibit a class of "relatively curved" $\vec{\gamma}(t) := (\gamma_1(t),\dots,\gamma_n(t))$, so that the pertaining multi-linear maximal function satisfies the sharp range of H\"{o}lder exponents, \[ \left\| \sup_{r > 0} \ \frac{1}{r}…

In this paper, we establish Ostrowski's type inequalities for strongly-convex functions where c>0 by using some classical inequalities and elemantery analysis. We also give some results for product of two strongly-convex functions.

This paper explores the calculus of dual-valued functions and investigates the gamma function, beta function and generalized hypergeometric functions by incorporating dual numbers as parameters and variables. We examine its fundamental…

Davydov, Moldavskaya, and Zitikis introduced local indices for quantifying the lack of convexity of a \(C^2\) function by measuring the nuclear-norm distance of its Hessian from the cone of positive semidefinite matrices. This paper…

In the present work weighted area integral means $M_{p,\varphi}(f;{\mathrm {Im}}z)$ are studied and it is proved that the function $y\to \log M_{p,\varphi}(f;y)$ is convex in the case when $f$ belongs to a Hardy space on the upper…

A finite word $w$ is called \emph{rich} if it contains $\vert w\vert+1$ distinct palindromic factors including the empty word. Let $q\geq 2$ be the size of the alphabet. Let $R(n)$ be the number of rich words of length $n$. Let $d>1$ be a…
