The notion of Fej\'er monotonicity is instrumental in unifying the convergence proofs of many iterative methods, such as the Krasnoselskii-Mann iteration, the proximal point method, the Douglas-Rachford splitting algorithm, and many others.…
Nonparametric regression problems with qualitative constraints such as monotonicity or convexity are ubiquitous in applications. For example, in predicting the yield of a factory in terms of the number of labor hours, the monotonicity of…
The function $\inf_n nx^{1/n}$ has the asymptotics $eu+e d^2(u)/(2u)+O(1/u^2)$ as $x\to\infty$, where $u=\log x$ and $d(u)$ is the distance from $u$ to the nearest integer. We generalize this observation. First, the curves $y=nx^{1/n}$ can…
We show how one can obtain an asymptotic expression for some special functions satisfying a second order differential equation with a very explicit error term starting from appropriate upper bounds. We will work out the details for the…
In many iterative optimization methods, fixed-point theory enables the analysis of the convergence rate via the contraction factor associated with the linear approximation of the fixed-point operator. While this factor characterizes the…
We study the asymptotics of zeros for entire functions of the form \sin z + \int_{-1}^1 f(t)e^{izt}dt with f belonging to a space X \hookrightarrow L_1(-1,1) possessing some minimal regularity properties.

We study certain resonance-counting functions for potential scattering on infinite cylinders or half-cylinders. Under certain conditions on the potential, we obtain asymptotics of the counting functions, with an explicit formula for the…
We deduce asymptotic formulas for the alternating sums $\sum_{n\le x} (-1)^{n-1} f(n)$ and $\sum_{n\le x} (-1)^{n-1} \frac1{f(n)}$, where $f$ is one of the following classical multiplicative arithmetic functions: Euler's totient function,…
We compute the limiting distributions of the lengths of the longest monotone subsequences of random (signed) involutions with or without conditions on the number of fixed points (and negated points) as the sizes of the involutions tend to…
An asymptotic expansion for inverse moments of positive binomial and Poisson distributions is derived. The expansion coefficients of the asymptotic series are given by the positive central moments of the distribution. Compared to previous…
In this article, we develop two types of asymptotic formulas for harmonic series in terms of single non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line. The series is obtained by evaluating the complex magnitude of an…
Consider "lagged" Fibonacci sequences $a(n) = a(n-1)+a(\lfloor n/k\rfloor)$ for $k > 1$. We show that $\lim_{n\to\infty} a(kn)/a(n)\cdot\ln n/n = k\ln k$ and we demonstrate the slow numerical convergence to this limit and how to deal with…
The main goal in this manuscript is to present a class of functions satisfying a certain orthogonality property for which there also exists a three term recurrence formula. This class of functions, which can be considered as an extension to…

We prove the asymptotic formulae for several moments of derivatives of GL(2) L-functions over quadratic twists. The family of L-functions we consider has root number fixed to -1 and odd orthogonal symmetry. Assuming GRH we prove the…
In previous work of C. A. Tracy and the author asymptotic formulas were derived for certain operator determinants whose interest lay in the fact that quotients of them gave solutions to the cylindrical Toda equations. In the present paper…
