For $a\in(0,1)$, $r\in(0,1)$ and $K\in(1,\infty)$, let $\mu_{a}(r)$ and $\varphi_{K}^{a}(r)$ be the generalized Gr\"{o}tzsch ring function and generalized Hersch-Pfluger distortion function. In the past few years, the functions $\mu_{a}(r)$…
Monotonicity properties of the ratio $$ \log \frac{f(x+a_1)\cdots f(x+a_n)}{f(x+b_1)\cdots f(x+b_n)}, $$ where $f$ is an entire function are investigated. Earlier results for Euler's gamma function and other entire functions of genus 1 are…
Given a function f: N --> (omega+1)-{0}, we say that a faithfully indexed sequence {a_n: n in N} of elements of a topological group G is: (i) f-Cauchy productive (f-productive) provided that the sequence {prod_{n=0}^m a_n^{z(n)}: m in N} is…
This short note concerns the possible singular behaviour of moment generating functions of finite measures at the boundary of their domain of existence. We look closer at Example 7.3 in O. Barndorff-Nielsen's book "Information and…
In measure theory several results are known how measure spaces are transformed into each other. But since moment functionals are represented by a measure we investigate in this study the effects and implications of these measure…
In this work we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a genus $0$ entire function $f(z)$ has only positive zeros by applying Hausdorff moment problem and Mergelyan's theorem, the obtained criterion is very much reminiscent of…
We investigate the algebraic genericity of various families of continuous functions exhibiting extreme irregularity, focusing on fractal dimensions, H\"older regularity, and fractional differentiability. Our first main result shows that for…
Let V be an infinite matrix with rows and columns indexed by the positive integers, and entries in a field F. Suppose that v_{i,j} only depends on i-j and is 0 for |i-j| large. Then V^n is defined for all n, and one has a "generating…
We give different integral representations of the Lommel function $s_{\mu,\nu}(z)$ involving trigonometric and hypergeometric $_2F_1$ functions. By using classical results of Polya, we give the distribution of the zeros of $s_{\mu,\nu}(z)$…
In this note, we show that if a multidimensional sequence generates Hankel tensors and all the Hankel matrices, generated by this sequence, are positive semi-definite, then this sequence is a multidimensional moment sequence.
Hausdorff relation, topologically identifying points in a given space, belongs to elementary tools of modern mathematics. We show that if subtle enough mathematical methods are used to analyze this relation, the conclusions may be…
The main goal of this paper is to derive a number of identities for the generalized hypergeometric function evaluated at unity and for certain terminating multivariate hypergeometric functions from the symmetries and other properties of…
We provide a large class of functions $f$ that are bell-shaped: the $n$-th derivative of $f$ changes its sign exactly $n$ times. This class is described by means of Stieltjes-type representation of the logarithm of the Fourier transform of…
We find sufficient conditions for log-convexity and log-concavity for the functions of the forms $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}(a)_kx^k$, $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}\Gamma(a+k)x^k$ and $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}x^k/(a)_k$. The most useful examples of such functions are…
We prove explicit formulas for certain first and second moment sums of families of Gaussian hypergeometric functions $_{n+1}F_n$, $n\ge1$, over finite fields with $q$ elements where $q$ is an odd prime. This enables us to find an estimate…
In this paper, we use some standard numerical techniques to approximate the hypergeometric function $$ {}_2F_1[a,b;c;x]=1+\frac{ab}{c}x+\frac{a(a+1)b(b+1)}{c(c+1)}\frac{x^2}{2!}+\cdots $$ for a range of parameter triples $(a,b,c)$ on the…

In this paper, we obtain various conditions on the parameters $a,\, b,\, c\,, d$ and $e$ for which the hypergeometric functions $z\,_3F_2(a,b,c;d,e;z)$ to be in the class of all close-to-convex function with respect to some well known…
Let $F(n,k)$ be a hypergeometric function that may be expressed so that $n$ appears within initial arguments of inverted Pochhammer symbols, as in factors of the form $\frac{1}{(n)_{k}}$. Only in exceptional cases is $F(n, k)$ such that…
