Let $\mathcal{C}\subseteq \mathbb{N}^p$ be an integer cone. A $\mathcal{C}$-semigroup $S\subseteq \mathcal{C}$ is an affine semigroup such that the set $\mathcal{C}\setminus S$ is finite. Such $\mathcal{C}$-semigroups are central to our…
We show that we can approximate every function $f\in C^{k}(\bar{B_1})$ with a $s$-harmonic function in $B_1$ that vanishes outside a compact set. That is, $s$-harmonic functions are dense in $C^{k}_{\rm{loc}}$. This result is clearly in…
We prove Veech's conjecture on the equivalence of Sarnak's conjecture on M\"obius orthogonality with a Kolmogorov type property of Furstenberg systems of the M\''obius function. This yields a combinatorial condition on the M\"obius function…
In this paper, we consider linear functionals defined on an unital commutative real algebra A and establish characterizations for moment functionals on compact sets of characters that depend only on the given functional. For example, we…
We study an infinite class of sequences of sparse polynomials that have binomial coefficients both as exponents and as coefficients. This generalizes a sequence of sparse polynomials which arises in a natural way as graph theoretic…
Let $Z$ be a quadratic harmonic cone in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. We consider the family $\mathcal{H}(Z)$ of all harmonic functions vanishing on $Z$. Is $\mathcal{H}(Z)$ finite or infinite dimensional? Some aspects of this question go back to as…
One matrix structure in the area of monotone Boolean functions is defined here. Some of its combinatorial, algebraic and algorithmic properties are derived. On the base of these properties, three algorithms are built. First of them…
In this article, we investigate F-pure thresholds of polynomials that are homogeneous under some N-grading, and have an isolated singularity at the origin. We characterize these invariants in terms of the base p expansion of the…
The classical Loewner's theorem states that operator monotone functions on real intervals are described by holomorphic functions on the upper half-plane. We characterize local order isomorphisms on operator domains by biholomorphic…
Operator monotone functions, introduced by Lowner in 1934, are an important class of real-valued functions. They arise naturally in matrix and operator theory and have various applications in other branches of mathematics and related…
The most important open problem in Monotone Operator Theory concerns the maximal monotonicity of the sum of two maximal monotone operators provided that Rockafellar's constraint qualification holds. In this note, we provide a new maximal…
In this paper, we introduce concepts of separable functions in balls and in the whole space, and develop a new method to investigate the qualitative properties of separable functions. We first study the axial symmetry and monotonicity of…
We consider the problem of characterizing all functions $f$ defined on the set of integers modulo $n$ with the property that an average of some $n$th roots of unity determined by $f$ is always an algebraic integer. Examples of such…
Complexity theory can be viewed as the study of the relationship between computation and applications, understood the former as complexity classes and the latter as problems. Completeness results are clearly central to that view. Many…
We study the set $\mathcal{L}_{F}$ of all $F$-vector spaces $L(P)$ where $P$ is monic and splits over $F$ and $L(Q)$ denotes the set of linear recurrence sequences over $F$ with characteristic polynomial $Q$. We show that $\mathcal{L}_{F}$…
We classify all functions which, when applied term by term, leave invariant the sequences of moments of positive measures on the real line. Rather unexpectedly, these functions are built of absolutely monotonic components, or reflections of…
In the present paper, we give two new proofs for the necessary and sufficient condition $\alpha\le1$ such that the function $x^\alpha[\ln x-\psi(x)]$ is completely monotonic on $(0,\infty)$.
We generalize the celebrated isoperimetric inequality of Khot, Minzer, and Safra~(SICOMP 2018) for Boolean functions to the case of real-valued functions $f \colon \{0,1\}^d\to\mathbb{R}$. Our main tool in the proof of the generalized…
Partition functions, also known as homomorphism functions, form a rich family of graph invariants that contain combinatorial invariants such as the number of k-colourings or the number of independent sets of a graph and also the partition…
We study the projection of an element of fractional Gaussian noise onto its neighbouring elements. We prove some analytic results for the coefficients of this projection, in particular, we obtain recurrence relations for them. We also make…
