We prove a matrix trace inequality for completely monotone functions and for Bernstein functions. As special cases we obtain non-trivial trace inequalities for the power function x->x^q, which for certain values of q complement McCarthy's…

New upper bounds on the relative entropy are derived as a function of the total variation distance. One bound refines an inequality by Verd\'{u} for general probability measures. A second bound improves the tightness of an inequality by…

Let $I_{\nu}(x)$ and $K_{\nu}(x)$ be the first and second kind modified Bessel functions. It is shown that the nullclines of the Riccati equation satisfied by $x^{\alpha} \Phi_{i,\nu}(x)$, $i=1,2$, with…

Motivated by the problem of determining the values of $\alpha>0$ for which $f_\alpha(x)=e^\alpha - (1+1/x)^{\alpha x},\ x>0$ is a completely monotonic function, we combine Fourier analysis with complex analysis to find a family…

In the paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for a function involving a ratio of gamma functions to be logarithmically completely monotonic. This extends and generalizes the main result in [\emph{Inequalities and…

The most important open problem in Monotone Operator Theory concerns the maximal monotonicity of the sum of two maximally monotone operators provided that Rockafellar's constraint qualification holds. In this paper, we prove the maximal…

Elementary transformations of equations $A\psi=\lambda\psi$ are considered. The invertibility condition (Theorem 1) is established and similar transformations of Riccati equations in the case of second order differential operator $A$ are…

Consider the following approximation problem of a continuous function of three variables by the sum of three continuous functions of one variable: \[ E(f,\Omega)=\inf||f(x,y,z)-\phi(x)-\psi(y)-\omega(z)||_{\infty}=? \] where $f(x,y,z)$ is a…

Motivated by some applications in applied mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics and engineering sciences, new tight Tur\'an type inequalities for modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind are deduced. These inequalities…

Let a function $F: [0,1]^2\rightarrow [0,1]$ be given by $F(x,y)= f^{(-1)}(T(f(x), f(y)))$ where $f :[0,1]\rightarrow [0,1]$ is a monotone function, $f^{(-1)}$ is the pseudo-inverse of $f$ and $T$ is a triangular norm. This article…

In this paper we investigate analytic inequalities related to a conjecture of Henry involving the difference between the Riemann zeta function and the digamma function. By treating $\zeta(s)-\psi(1-s)$ as a unified analytic object, we…

In this paper, a new proof of the Positive Mass Theorem is established through a newly discovered monotonicity formula, holding along the level sets of the Green's function of an asymptotically flat $3$-manifold. In the same context and for…

Much work has been done attempting to understand the dynamic behaviour of the so-called "3x+1" function. It is known that finite sequences of iterations with a given length and a given number of odd terms have some combinatorial properties…

The article considers the generalized k-Bessel functions and represents it as Wright functions. Then we study the monotonicity properties of the ratio of two different orders k- Bessel functions, and the ratio of the k-Bessel and the…

We prove a lower bound of $\Omega(n^{1/2 - c})$, for all $c>0$, on the query complexity of (two-sided error) non-adaptive algorithms for testing whether an $n$-variable Boolean function is monotone versus constant-far from monotone. This…

Simple upper and lower bounds are established for the integral $\int_0^x\mathrm{e}^{-\beta t}t^\nu \mathbf{L}_\nu(t)\,\mathrm{d}t$, where $x>0$, $\nu>-1$, $0<\beta<1$ and $\mathbf{L}_\nu(x)$ is the modified Struve function of the first…

We proved that difference function $\psi_\Theta-\psi_{\Theta'}$ for almost all pairs $\Theta$, $\Theta'$ in cases $m=1$, $n=2$ or $m\geqslant2$ and $n=1$ changes its sign infinity many times as $t\rightarrow+\infty$.

In this work we establish a connection between two classical notions, unrelated so far: Harmonic functions on the one hand and absolutely monotonic functions on the other hand. We use this to prove convexity type and propagation of…

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…

For positive integers $n, d$, consider the hypergrid $[n]^d$ with the coordinate-wise product partial ordering denoted by $\prec$. A function $f: [n]^d \mapsto \mathbb{N}$ is monotone if $\forall x \prec y$, $f(x) \leq f(y)$. A function $f$…
