In this paper, strongly $(\alpha,T)$-convex functions, i.e., functions $f:D\to \R$ satisfying the functional inequality $$ f(tx+(1-t)y)\leq tf(x)+(1-t)f(y)-t\alpha\big((1-t)(x-y)\big)-(1-t)\alpha\big(t(y-x)\big)$$ for $x,y\in D$ and $t\in…

A real valued function $f$ defined on a real open interval $I$ is called $\Phi$-convex if, for all $x,y\in I$, $t\in[0,1]$ it satisfies $$ f(tx+(1-t)y)\leq tf(x)+(1-t)f(y)+t\Phi\big((1-t)|x-y|\big)+(1-t)\Phi\big(t|x-y|\big), $$ where…

This paper offers a solution of the functional equation $$ \big(tf(x)+(1-t)f(y)\big)\varphi(tx+(1-t)y)=tf(x)\varphi(x)+(1-t)f(y)\varphi(y) \qquad(x,y\in I), $$ where $t\in\,]0,1[\,$ is a fixed number, $\varphi:I\to\mathbb{R}$ is strictly…

An affine rearrangement inequality is established which strengthens and implies the recently obtained affine P\'olya--Szeg\"o symmetrization principle for functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Several applications of this new inequality are derived.…

Given an $n$-ary $k-$valued function $f$, $gap(f)$ denotes the essential arity gap of $f$ which is the minimal number of essential variables in $f$ which become fictive when identifying any two distinct essential variables in $f$. In the…

Recently the behavior of operator monotone functions on unbounded intervals with respect to the relation of strictly positivity has been investigated. In this paper we deeply study such behavior not only for operator monotone functions but…

The main objective of this paper is to present Ostrowski's inequality for a broader class of functions and to propose a refinement to the classical version of it. The original Ostrowski's inequality can be stated as follows "If…

We study general (not necessarily Hamiltonian) first-order symmetric systems $J y'(t)-B(t)y(t)=\D(t) f(t)$ on an interval $[a,b> $ with the regular endpoint $a$. The deficiency indices $n_\pm$ of the corresponding minimal relation $\Tmi$…

Let $\mu(n)$ be the M\"obius function, $e(z) = \exp(2\pi iz)$, $x$ real and $2\leq y \leq x$. This paper proves two sequences $(\mu(n))$ and $(e(n^k \alpha))$ are strongly orthogonal in short intervals. That is, if $k \geq 3$ being fixed…

We establish the following result: if the graph of a (nonsmooth) real-extended-valued function $f:\mathbb{R}^{n}\to \mathbb{R}\cup\{+\infty\}$ is closed and admits a Whitney stratification, then the norm of the gradient of $f$ at…

A non-negative function f, defined on the real line or on a half-line, is said to be directly Riemann integrable (d.R.i.) if the upper and lower Riemann sums of f over the whole (unbounded) domain converge to the same finite limit, as the…

In [Bull. Acad. Polon. Sci. S\'{e}r. Sci. Math. 29 (1981), no.~7-8, 367--370], Philos proved the following result: Let $f:[t_{0},\infty)_{\mathbb{R}}\to\mathbb{R}$ be an $n$-times differentiable function such that $f^{(n)}(t)\leq0$…

Function (linear) spaces on which an arbitrary function operates (i.e. the space is stable w.r.t. the pointwise unary operation defined by the function) were investigated, for continuous real or complex operations, by deLeeuw-Katznelson,…

We prove new one-dimensional symmetry results for non-negative solutions, possibly unbounded, to the semilinear equation $ -\Delta u= f(u)$ in the upper half-space $\mathbb{R}^{N}_{+}$. Some Liouville-type theorems are also proven in the…

We prove that every nonnegative continuous real-valued function on a given compact metric space is the uniform limit of some increasing sequence of nonnegative simple functions being linear combinations of indicators of open sets; here the…

The main aim of this note, which can be viewed as a certain addendum to the paper \cite{2020}, is to propose several new inequalities for the function $y=t\ln t.$ We consider the local behaviour of this function near the point $t=1,$ as…

It is known that the function $f(e^x)/g(e^x)$ is positive definite for some functions $f,g$ implies the operator norm inequality related to $f,g$. We treat functions which have the following form: $f(t) = t^{(1-\sum_{i=1}^n…

The Polyak-{\L}ojasiewicz (P{\L}) condition is often invoked in nonconvex optimization because it allows fast convergence of algorithms beyond strong convexity. A function $f \colon \mathcal{M} \to \mathbb{R}$ on a Riemannian manifold…
