The problem is considered as to whether a monotone function defined on a subset P of a Euclidean space can be strictly monotonically extended to the whole space. It is proved that this is the case if and only if the function is {\em…

We consider classical solutions to $-\Delta u = f(u)$ in half-spaces, under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove that any positive solution is strictly monotone increasing in the direction orthogonal to the boundary, provided…

The logrank test is a well-known nonparametric test which is often used to compare the survival distributions of two samples including right censored observations, it is also known as the Mantel-Haenszel test. The $G^{\rho}$ family of…

The concept of fractional order derivative can be found in extensive range of many different subject areas. For this reason, the concept of fractional order derivative should be examined. After giving different methods mostly used in…

Let D be a non-displaceable disk in an annulus A. Suppose that g is a compactly supported Hamiltonian which preserves D with translation number n. We show that Hofer's norm |g| is bounded from below by cn for a certain constant c. We also…

We study stochastic choice across decision problems, each represented as a menu of action labels paired with observable outcome vectors. We propose a consistency condition for behavior in decision problems composed of two separable…

In this note, we define the numbers of level crossings by a c{\`a}dl{\`a}g (RCLL) real function $x: [0,+\infty) \rightarrow R$ and, in analogy to the work of Bertoin and Yor [BY14] we prove that for $x$ with locally finite total variation…

Ratios of random variables often appear in probability and statistical applications. We aim to approximate the moments of such ratios under several dependence assumptions. Extending the ideas in Collomb [C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris 285 (1977)…

This study deals with continuous limits of interacting one-dimensional diffusive systems, arising from stochastic distortions of discrete curves with various kinds of coding representations. These systems are essentially of a…

Motivated by the normal state of the cuprates in which the f-sum rule increases faster than a linear function of the particle density, we derive a conductivity sum rule for a system in which the kinetic energy operator in the Hamiltonian is…

In this short note we prove a conjecture for the interval $(0,1)$, related to a logarithmically completely monotonic function, presented in \cite{BG}. Then, we extend by proving a more generalized theorem. At the end we pose an open problem…

We derive novel error estimates for Hybrid High-Order (HHO) discretizations of Leray-Lions problems set in W^(1,p) with p in (1,2]. Specifically, we prove that, depending on the degeneracy of the problem, the convergence rate may vary…

Random walk on changing graphs is considered. For sequences of finite graphs increasing monotonically towards a limiting infinite graph, we establish transition probability upper bounds. It yields sufficient transience criteria for simple…

We consider a multiscale system of stochastic differential equations in which the slow component is perturbed by a small fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index $H>1/2$ and the fast component is driven by an independent Brownian motion.…

We consider a drift-diffusion process with a time-independent and divergence-free random drift that is of white-noise character. We are interested in the critical case of two space dimensions, where one has to impose a small-scale cut-off…

This work is devoted to deriving small mass limiting equation for a class of Hamiltonian systems with multiplicative L\'evy noise. Derivation of the limiting equation depends on the structure of the stochastic Hamiltonian systems, in which…

Let $f(n)$ be an arithmetic function with $f(1)\neq0$ and let $f^{-1}(n)$ be its reciprocal with respect to the Dirichlet convolution. We study the asymptotic behaviour of $|f^{-1}(n)|$ with regard to the asymptotic behaviour of $|f(n)|$…

We study large deviations of a ratio observable in discrete-time reset processes. The ratio takes the form of a current divided by the number of reset steps and as such it is not extensive in time. A large deviation rate function can be…

We simplify the proof of some widely used theoretical theorems, extending their applicability, while correcting some erroneous results. We also generalize key results and present new results that contribute to the development of the theory.…

This paper is about the technique of {\em shadow variables} that was used in the theory of monotone operators. In this paper, we use it to show that certain results that were originally proved for lower semicontinuous convex functions are…
