Based on a sequence of numerical computations, a conjecture is presented regarding the class of functions $H(x;a)=\exp(a)-(1+a/x)^x$, and the open problem of determining the values of $a$ for which the functions are completely monotonic…
We establish that a mode-coupling approximation for the dynamics of multi-component systems obeying Smoluchowski dynamics preserves a subtle yet fundamental property: the matrices of partial density correlation functions are completely…
We show that the class of representable substitution algebras is characterized by a set of universal first order sentences. In addition, it is shown that a necessary and sufficient condition for a substitution algebra to be representable is…
Recent algorithmic advances in algebraic automata theory drew attention to semigroupoids (semicategories). These are mathematical descriptions of typed computational processes, but they have not been studied systematically in the context of…
This paper introduces a robust class of functions from finite words to integers that we call Z-polyregular functions. We show that it admits natural characterizations in terms of logics, Z-rational expressions, Z-rational series and…
We consider the dynamics associated with an arbitrary semigroup of transcendental entire functions. Fatou-Julia theory is used to investigate the dynamics of these semigroups. Several results of the dynamics associated with iteration of a…
In this paper we are interested in functionals defined on completely distributive lattices and which are invariant under mappings preserving {arbitrary} joins and meets. We prove that the class of nondecreasing invariant functionals…
We present some completely monotonic functions involving the $q$-gamma function that are inspired by their analogues involving the gamma function.
For a real non-signdefinite function $B(z)$, $z\in \C$, we investigate the dimension of the space of entire analytical functions square integrable with weight $e^{\pm 2F}$, where the function $F(z)=F(x_1,x_2)$ satisfies the Poisson equation…
Expanding upon recent work, a new class of $A$-functions is introduced that can be viewed as an appropriate generalization of the class of regular $A$-functions, the class of structured $A$-functions, and the class of perfect $A$-functions.…
Let $G$ be a finite abelian group acting faithfully on a finite set $X$. As a natural generalization of the perfect nonlinearity of Boolean functions, the $G$-bentness and $G$-perfect nonlinearity of functions on $X$ are studied by Poinsot…
We define and study entanglement of continuous positive definite functions on products of compact groups. We formulate and prove an infinite-dimensional analog of Horodecki Theorem, giving a necessary and sufficient criterion for…
In the present paper, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the functions $x^\alpha\bigl\lvert\psi^{(i)}(x+\beta)\bigr\lvert$ and $\alpha\bigl\lvert\psi^{(i)}(x+\beta)\bigr\lvert-x\bigl\lvert\psi^{(i+1)}(x+\beta)\bigr\lvert$…
In this paper our aim is to deduce some complete monotonicity properties and functional inequalities for the Bickley function. The key tools in our proofs are the classical integral inequalities, like Chebyshev, H\"older-Rogers,…
We introduce normal cores, as well as the more general action cores, in the context of a semi-abelian category, and further generalise those to split extension cores in the context of a homological category. We prove that, if the category…
Consider the algebraic dynamics on a torus T=G_m^n given by a matrix M in GL_n(Z). Assume that the characteristic polynomial of M is prime to all polynomials X^m-1. We show that any finite equivariant map from another algebraic dynamics…
Problems in econometrics, insurance, reliability engineering, and statistics quite often rely on the assumption that certain functions are non-decreasing. To satisfy this requirement, researchers frequently model the underlying phenomena…
Let $\mathbb{A} = (A, \cdot)$ be a semigroup. We generalize some recent results by G. A. Freiman, M. Herzog and coauthors on the structure theory of set addition from the context of linearly orderable groups to linearly orderable…
In this note we classify quasi-sum production functions with constant elasticity of production with respect to any factor of production and with proportional marginal rate of substitution.
A characterization of multiplicative (and additive) arithmetical functions is given. Using this characterization, we show that the group of multiplicative arithmetical functions is isomorphic to the group of additive arithmetical functions.
