We characterize real functions $f$ on an interval $(-\alpha,\alpha)$ for which the entrywise matrix function $[a_{ij}] \mapsto [f(a_{ij})]$ is positive, monotone and convex, respectively, in the positive semidefiniteness order. Fractional…

Kontsevich conjectured that the number f(G,q) of zeros over the finite field with q elements of a certain polynomial connected with the spanning trees of a graph G is polynomial function of q. We have been unable to settle Kontsevich's…

The paper deals with the problem of approximating the functions of several variables by branched continued fractions, in particular, multidimensional A- and J-fractions with independent variables. A generalization of Gragg's algorithm is…

A number of applications require the computation of the trace of a matrix that is implicitly available through a function. A common example of a function is the inverse of a large, sparse matrix, which is the focus of this paper. When the…

We analyze matrix convex functions of a fixed order defined on a real interval by differential methods as opposed to the characterization in terms of divided differences given by Kraus. We obtain for each order conditions for matrix…

In this note we provide a full conjugacy and subdifferential calculus for convex convex-composite functions in finite-dimensional space. Our approach, based on infimal convolution and cone-convexity, is straightforward and yields the…

We study the singularity (multifractal) spectrum of the convex hull of the typical/generic continuous functions defined on $[0,1]^{d}$. We denote by ${\mathbf E}_ { { \varphi } }^{h} $ the set of points at which $ \varphi : [0,1]^d\to…

In the setting of a metric space equipped with a doubling measure and supporting a Poincar\'e inequality, and based on results by Bj\"orn and Shanmugalingam (2007), we show that functions of bounded variation can be extended from any…

Graph signal processing has become an essential tool for analyzing data structured on irregular domains. While conventional graph shift operators (GSOs) are effective for certain tasks, they inherently lack flexibility in modeling…

This paper is about the technique of {\em shadow variables} that was used in the theory of monotone operators. In this paper, we use it to show that certain results that were originally proved for lower semicontinuous convex functions are…

In this paper we give an integral representation of an $n$-convex function $f$ in general case without additional assumptions on function $f$. We prove that any $n$-convex function can be represented as a sum of two $(n+1)$-times monotone…

This paper investigates spectral properties of the deformed Laplacian matrix, which merges the Laplacian and signless Laplacian matrices of a graph through a one-parameter family of matrices. We present general results on the eigenvalues of…

The matrix convexity and the matrix monotony of a real $C^1$ function $f$ on $(0,\infty)$ are characterized in terms of the conditional negative or positive definiteness of the Loewner matrices associated with $f$, $tf(t)$, and $t^2f(t)$.…

We present a formula for the trace of any symmetric power of a $n\times n$ matrix (with coefficients in a field) in terms of the ordinary powers of the matrix, an arbitrarily chosen linear function which vanishes on the identity matrix, and…

Fix $m \in \mathbb N$. A new generalization of the $H$-join operation of a family of graphs $\{G_1, G_2, \dots, G_k\}$ constrained by indexing maps $I_1,I_2,\dots,I_k$ is introduced as $H_m$-join of graphs, where the maps $I_i:V(G_i)$ to…

We prove a matrix trace inequality for completely monotone functions and for Bernstein functions. As special cases we obtain non-trivial trace inequalities for the power function x->x^q, which for certain values of q complement McCarthy's…

The concept of rotation symmetric functions from the Boolean domain is extended to the multiple-valued (MV) domain. It is shown that symmetric functions are a subset of the rotation symmetric functions. Functions exhibiting these kinds of…

A metric space (X,d) is monotone if there is a linear order < on X and a constant c>0 such that d(x,y) < c d(x,z) for all x<y<z in X. Properties of continuous functions with monotone graph (considered as a planar set) are investigated. It…
