The comonotonic maxitivity property of functionals frequently appears in the characterization of fuzzy integrals based on the maximum operation. In some special cases, comonotonic maxitivity implies monotonicity of functionals. The question…
We show that a large collection of special functions, in particular Nielsen's beta function, are generalized Stieltjes functions of order 2, and therefore logarithmically completely monotonic. This includes the Laplace transform of…
In this paper, we investigate the monotonicity of the functions $t \mapsto \frac{\sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k w_k(t)}{\sum_{k=0}^\infty b_k w_k(t)}$ and $x \mapsto \frac{\int_\alpha^\beta f(t) w(t,x) \textrm{d} t}{\int_\alpha^\beta g(t) w(t,x)…

Problems in econometrics, insurance, reliability engineering, and statistics quite often rely on the assumption that certain functions are non-decreasing. To satisfy this requirement, researchers frequently model the underlying phenomena…

In this paper, two new classes of perfect nonlinear functions over $\mathbb{F}_{p^{2m}}$ are proposed, where $p$ is an odd prime. Furthermore, we investigate the nucleus of the corresponding semifields of these functions and show that the…
Recently, the authors studied the connection between each maximal monotone operator T and a family H(T) of convex functions. Each member of this family characterizes the operator and satisfies two particular inequalities. The aim of this…
In many classification tasks there is a requirement of monotonicity. Concretely, if all else remains constant, increasing (resp. decreasing) the value of one or more features must not decrease (resp. increase) the value of the prediction.…

In this paper, we seek to explore under what conditions the periodicity of an entire function $ f(z) $ follows from the periodicity of a differential polynomial in $ f(z) $. We improve and generalize some earlier results and we give other…
