This article characterizes the associativity of two-place functions $T: [0,1]^2\rightarrow [0,1]$ defined by $T(x,y)=f^{(-1)}(F(f(x),f(y)))$ where $F:[0,1]^2\rightarrow[0,1]$ is a triangular norm (even a triangular subnorm), $f:…

First, we give the definition for quasi-nearly subharmonic functions, now for general, not necessarily nonnegative functions, unlike previously. We point out that our function class incudes, among others, quasisubharmonic functions, nearly…

A double sequence $\textbf{x}=\{x_{k,l}\}$ of points in $\textbf{R}$ is slowly oscillating if for any given $\varepsilon>0$, there exist $\alpha=\alpha(\varepsilon)>0$, $\delta=\delta (\varepsilon) >0$, and $N=N(\varepsilon)$ such that…

We prove that if $f:I\subset \Bbb R\to \Bbb R$ is of bounded variation, then the noncentered maximal function $Mf$ is absolutely continuous, and its derivative satisfies the sharp inequality $\|DMf\|_1\le |Df|(I)$. This allows us obtain,…

The counting function on binary values is extended to the signed case in order to count the number of transitions between contiguous locations. A generalized subdifferential for the sign change counting function is given where classical…

Let A be an arbitrary countable set of reals, for example A=Q. Let g be an arbitrary mapping from A into the positive reals, for example g(a)=2^a. We show how a strictly increasing real function f can be constructed such that f'(x)=g(x) for…

Talagrand observed that finiteness of $\mathbb{E}\, e^{\frac{1}{2}|\nabla f(X)|^{2}}$ implies finiteness of $\mathbb{E}\, e^{\, f(X)}$ where $X$ is the standard Gaussian vector in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ and $f$ is a smooth function with zero…

It is shown that for a function $f:\mathbb R^2\to \mathbb R$ which is measurable with respect to the first variable and upper semicontinuous quasicontinuous and increasing with respect to the second variable there exists a Caratheodory's…

In this note, we characterize all functions $f : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ such that $f(x_1^2+ \cdots + x_k^2)=f(x_1)^2+ \cdots + f(x_k)^2$, where $k \geq 3$ and $x_1, \cdots, x_k$ are positive integers.

An important tool to quantify the likeness of two probability measures are f-divergences, which have seen widespread application in statistics and information theory. An example is the total variation, which plays an exceptional role among…

For a function $f\colon \mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$, let $$ N^+_f(x)=\{n\leq x: n=k+f(k) \mbox{ for some } k\}. $$ Let $\tau(n)=\sum_{d|n}1$ be the divisor function, $\omega(n)=\sum_{p|n}1$ be the prime divisor function, and…

Let $ x = [0;a_1,a_2,...]$ be the decomposition of the irrational number $x \in [0,1]$ into regular continued fraction. Then for the derivative of the Minkowski function $?(x)$ we prove that $?'(x) = +\infty$ provided $ \limsup_{t\to…

We consider the second-order cone function (SOCF) $f: {\mathbb R}^n \to \mathbb R$ defined by $f(x)= c^T x + d -\|A x + b \|$. Every SOCF is concave. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for strict concavity of $f$. The parameters $A…

A real valued function defined on a subset $E$ of $\mathbb{R}$, the set of real numbers, is $\rho$-statistically downward continuous if it preserves $\rho$-statistical downward quasi-Cauchy sequences of points in $E$, where a sequence…

Supersymmetry can be consistently generalized in one and two dimensional spaces, fractional supersymmetry being one of the possible extension. 2D fractional supersymmetry of arbitrary order $F$ is explicitly constructed using an adapted…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the notion of a generalized derivation which derivates a prescribed family of smooth vector-valued functions of several variables. The basic calculus rules are established and then a result derived…

In this article, we characterize completely alternating functions on an abelian semigroup $S$ in terms of completely monotone functions on the product semigroup $S\times \mathbb Z_+$. We also discuss completely alternating sequences induced…

A real function $f$ is ward continuous if $f$ preserves quasi-Cauchyness, i.e. $(f(x_{n}))$ is a quasi-Cauchy sequence whenever $(x_{n})$ is quasi-Cauchy; and a subset $E$ of $\textbf{R}$ is quasi-Cauchy compact if any sequence…

For functions $f$ of a continuous variable in $\mathbb{R}^{+}$ we show that the Hirsch function $h_f$ equals $f$ iff $(f(f(x)) = x f(x))$ on $\mathbb{R}^{+}$, leading for continuous $f$ to $f$ = $\emptyset$ or the power function $f(x)$ =…
