In this note, we study monotone dynamical systems with respect to polyhedral cones. Using the half-space representation and the vertex representation, we propose three equivalent conditions to certify monotonicity of a dynamical system with…

We study here a sequence of secondary measures, so called because the set of secondary polynomials on a given term become orthogonal for the next measure. The main result is a formula making explicit the density of any term of the sequence,…

In some inferential statistical methods, such as tests and confidence intervals, it is important to describe the stochastic behavior of statistical functionals, aside from their large sample properties. We study such behavior in terms of…

We introduce and discuss the notion of monotonicity for the complexity measures of general probability distributions, patterned after the resource theory of quantum entanglement. Then, we explore whether this property is satisfied by the…

We prove a conjecture of Cuttler et al.~[2011] [A. Cuttler, C. Greene, and M. Skandera; \emph{Inequalities for symmetric means}. European J. Combinatorics, 32(2011), 745--761] on the monotonicity of \emph{normalized Schur functions} under…

In general, while obtaining the probability density function of sums and products of shifted random variables, ordinary analytical methods such as Fourier and Mellin transforms tend to provide integrals which cannot be expressed in terms of…

We continue the study of real polynomials acting entrywise on matrices of fixed dimension to preserve positive semidefiniteness, together with the related analysis of order properties of Schur polynomials. Previous work has shown that,…

We consider analytic continuations of Fourier transforms and Stieltjes transforms. This enables us to define what we call complex moments for some class of probability measures which do not have moments in the usual sense. There are two…

Using the basis of Hermite-Fourier functions (i.e. the quantum oscillator eigenstates) and the Sturm theorem, we derive the practical constraints for a function and its Fourier transform to be both positive. We propose a constructive method…

We consider a nonparametric Bayesian approach to estimation and testing for a multivariate monotone density. Instead of following the conventional Bayesian route of putting a prior distribution complying with the monotonicity restriction,…

These are notes of a talk based on the work arXiv:1212.3630 joint with A. Aizenbud. Let V be a finite-dimensional vector space over a local field F of characteristic 0. Let f be a function on V of the form $f(x)= \psi (P(x))$, where P is a…

Let $\mu$ be a positive measure on the real line with locally finite support $\Lambda$ and integer masses such that its Fourier transform in the sense of distributions is a purely point measure. An explicit form is found for an entire…

A subnormal weighted shift may be transformed to another shift in various ways, such as taking the p-th power of each weight or forming the Aluthge transform. \ We determine in a number of cases whether the resulting shift is subnormal,…

This paper is devoted to the study of general (Laurent) polynomial modifications of moment functionals on the unit circle, i.e., associated with hermitian Toeplitz matrices. We present a new approach which allows us to study polynomial…

The notion of quasi-Fej\'er monotonicity has proven to be an efficient tool to simplify and unify the convergence analysis of various algorithms arising in applied nonlinear analysis. In this paper, we extend this notion in the context of…

In this note we prove a condition of monotonicity for the integral functional $ F(g) = \int_a^b h(x)\, d[-g(x)] $ with respect to $g$, a function of bounded variation. This condition is applied to analyze the behavior of a generalized…

In this paper we introduce a biparametric family of transformations which can be seen as an extension of the so-called up and down transformations. This new class of transformations allows to us to introduce new informational functionals,…

This paper establishes connections between the group-Fourier transform and the geometry of measures in the Heisenberg group. Firstly, it is shown that if the Fourier transform of a compactly supported, finite, Radon measure is square…

For a fixed singular Borel probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{T}$, we give several characterizations of when an entire function is the Fourier transform of some $f \in L^2(\mu)$. The first characterization is given in terms of criteria…

We study the Fourier transform of polynomials in an orthogonal family, taken with respect to the orthogonality measure. Mastering the asymptotic properties of these transforms, that we call Fourier--Bessel functions, in the argument, the…
