We consider the following trace function on n-tuples of positive operators: \Phi_p(A_1,A_2,...,A_n) = Trace (\sum_{j=1}^n A_j^p)^{1/p} and prove that it is jointly concave for 0<p\le 1 and convex for p=2. We then derive from this a…

In this paper we study a class of Jacobi operators, such that each operator is generated by the unit Borel measure with a support consisting of a finite number of intervals on the real line R and a finite number of points in C, located…

We revisit and prove some convexity inequalities for trace functions conjectured in the earlier part I. The main functional considered is \Phi_{p,q}(A_1,A_2,...,A_m) = (trace((\sum_{j=1}^m A_j^p)^{q/p}))^{1/q} for m positive definite…

We prove the existence of a module for the largest Mathieu group, whose trace functions are weight two quasimodular forms. Restricting to the subgroup fixing a point, we see that the integrality of these functions is equivalent to certain…

Employing the notion of operator log-convexity, we study joint concavity$/$ convexity of multivariable operator functions: $(A,B)\mapsto F(A,B)=h\left[ \Phi(f(A))\ \sigma\ \Psi(g(B))\right]$, where $\Phi$ and $\Psi$ are positive linear maps…

In this paper, our aim is to show some mean value inequalities for the Fox-Wright functions, such as Tur\'an--type inequalities, Lazarevi\'c and Wilker--type inequalities. As applications we derive some new type inequalities for…

We characterize the weighted Hardy's inequalities for monotone functions in ${\mathbb R^n_+}.$ In dimension $n=1$, this recovers the classical theory of $B_p$ weights. For $n>1$, the result was only known for the case $p=1$. In fact, our…

The paper establishes the Krein and Koplienko trace formulas for multivariable operator functions on symmetrically normed ideals of bounded operators. Results are proved for self-adjoint and maximal dissipative operators. They cover both…

In a multi-index model with $k$ index vectors, the input variables are transformed by taking inner products with the index vectors. A transfer function $f: \mathbb{R}^k \to \mathbb{R}$ is applied to these inner products to generate the…

In this paper, we study some properties such as the monotonicity, logarithmically complete monotonicity, logarithmic convexity, and geometric convexity, of the combinations of gamma function and power function. The results we obtain…

The main aim of the paper is to present a general version of the Fourier Tauberian theorem for monotone functions. This result, together with Berezin's inequality, allows us to obtain a refined version the Li-Yau estimate for the counting…

We observe that if f is a continuous function on an interval I and x_0 \in I, then f is operator monotone if and only if the function (f(x) - f(x_0)/(x - x_0) is strongly operator convex. Then starting with an operator monotone function…

In this article, we prove that convex functions and log-convex functions obey certain general refinements that lead to several refinements and reverses of well known inequalities for matrices, including Young's inequality, Heinz inequality,…

In this paper, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between operator monotone functions on the nonnegative reals and finite Borel measures on the unit interval. This correspondence appears as an integral representation of…

In this paper some Tur\'an type inequalities for the general Bessel function, monotonicity and bounds for its logarithmic derivative are derived. Moreover we find the series representation and the relative extrema of the Tur\'anian of…

Several matrix/operator inequalies are given. Most of them are unexpected extensions of the Araki Log-majorization theorem, obtained thanks to a new log-majorization for positive linear maps and normal operators (Theorem 2.9). The main idea…

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…

Let f be a function defined on positive numbers. The subject is the trace inequality $Tr f(A) + Tr f(P_2AP_2) \le Tr f(P_{12}AP_{12}) + \Tr f(P_{23}AP_{23})$, where $A$ is a positive operator, $P_1,P_2,P_3$ are orthogonal projections such…
