We introduce and study in a general setting the concept of homogeneity of an operator and, in particular, the notion of homogeneity of an integral operator. In the latter case, homogeneous kernels of such operators are also studied. The…
We prove that the functions t -> (t^q-1)(t^p-1)^{-1} are operator monotone in the positive half-axis for 0 < p < q < 1, and we calculate the two associated canonical representation formulae. The result is used to find new monotone metrics…
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 prove the convexity of trace functionals $$(A,B,C)\mapsto \text{Tr}|B^{p}AC^{q}|^{s},$$ for parameters $(p,q,s)$ that are best possible, where $B$ and $C$ are any $n$-by-$n$ positive definite matrices, and $A$ is any…
In this paper we obtain some new refinements and reverses of Young's operator inequality. Extensions for convex functions of operators are also provided.
In this paper we explore solvability of steady-state variational inequalities with multivalued operators. Moreover, we are studying the connections between the class of radially semi-continuous operators with semi-bounded variation and…
This article improves the triangle inequality for complex numbers, using the Hermite-Hadamard inequality for convex functions. Then, applications of the obtained refinement are presented to include some operator inequalities. The operator…
A classical inequality, which is known for families of monotone functions, is generalized to a larger class of families of measurable functions. Moreover we characterize all the families of functions for which the equality holds. We apply…
It is well known that increasing functions do not preserve operator order in general; nor do decreasing functions reverse operator order. However, operator monotone increasing or operator monotone decreasing do. In this article, we employ a…
Discrete convex functions are used in many areas, including operations research, discrete-event systems, game theory, and economics. The objective of this paper is to offer a survey on fundamental operations for various kinds of discrete…
A real arithmetic function f is multiplicatively monotonous if f (mn) -- f (m) has constant sign for m, n positive integers. Properties and examples of such functions are discussed, with applications to positive hermitian…
The motivation behind this paper is threefold. Firstly, to study, characterize and realize operator concavity along with its applications to operator monotonicity of free functions on operator domains that are not assumed to be matrix…
We demonstrate that being a hyperbolicity preserver does not imply monotonicity for infinite order differential operators on $\mathbb{R}[x]$, thereby settling a recent conjecture in the negative. We also give some sufficient conditions for…
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…
This note deals with certain properties of convex functions. We provide results on the convexity of the set of minima of these functions, the behaviour of their subgradient set under restriction, and optimization of these functions over an…
In this paper, we study uniqueness problems for an entire function that shares small functions of finite order with their difference operators. In particular, we give a generalization of results in [2,3,13].
We treat the classical notion of convexity in the context of hard real analysis. Definitions of the concept are given in terms of defining functions and quadratic forms, and characterizations are provided of different concrete notions of…
A general class of nonconvex optimization problems is considered, where the penalty is the composition of a linear operator with a nonsmooth nonconvex mapping, which is concave on the positive real line. The necessary optimality condition…
We present some completely monotonic functions involving the$q$-polygamma functions, our result generalizes some known results.
We establish a set of relations between several quite diverse types of weighted inequalities involving various integral operators and fairly general quasinorm-like functionals which we call sub-monotone. The main result enables one to solve…
