Let $\displaystyle \{x_{k,n-1}\} _{k=1}^{n-1}$ and $\displaystyle \{x_{k,n}\} _{k=1}^{n},$ $n \in \mathbb{N}$, be two sets of real, distinct points satisfying the interlacing property $ x_{i,n}<x_{i,n-1}< x_{i+1,n}, \, \, \, i =…

Recurrences of the form \begin{equation*} T(n,k) = (\alpha n+\beta k +\gamma) \ T(n-1,k) + (\alpha'n+\beta'k+\gamma')\ T(n-1,k-1)+\delta_{n,0}\delta_{k,0}. \end{equation*} show up as the recurrence for many well-studied combinatorial…

We find sufficient conditions for log-convexity and log-concavity for the functions of the forms $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}(a)_kx^k$, $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}\Gamma(a+k)x^k$ and $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}x^k/(a)_k$. The most useful examples of such functions are…

In his study of Ramanujan-Sato type series for $1/\pi$, Sun introduced a sequence of polynomials $S_n(q)$ as given by $$S_n(q)=\sum\limits_{k=0}^n{n\choose k}{2k\choose k}{2(n-k)\choose n-k}q^k,$$ and he conjectured that the polynomials…

We extend the notion of John's ellipsoid to the setting of integrable log-concave functions. This will allow us to define the integral ratio of a log-concave function, which will extend the notion of volume ratio, and we will find the…

We consider Fokker-Planck equations in the whole Euclidean space, driven by Levy processes, under the action of confining drifts, as in the classical Ornstein-Ulhenbeck model. We introduce a new PDE method to get exponential or…

Two general methods for establishing the logarithmic behavior of recursively defined sequences of real numbers are presented. One is the interlacing method, and the other one is based on calculus. Both methods are used to prove logarithmic…

M. Levin defined a real number $x$ that satisfies that the sequence of the fractional parts of $(2^n x)_{n\geq 1}$ are such that the first $N$ terms have discrepancy $O((\log N)^2/ N)$, which is the smallest discrepancy known for this kind…

We look at the number $L(n)$ of $O$-sequences of length $n$. Recall that an $O$-sequence can be defined algebraically as the Hilbert function of a standard graded $k$-algebra, or combinatorially as the $f$-vector of a multicomplex. The…

It is well-known that for a quickly increasing sequence $(n_k)_{k \geq 1}$ the functions $(\cos 2 \pi n_k x)_{k \geq 1}$ show a behavior which is typical for sequences of independent random variables. If the growth condition on $(n_k)_{k…

We give a novel algorithm for enumerating lattice points in any convex body, and give applications to several classic lattice problems, including the Shortest and Closest Vector Problems (SVP and CVP, respectively) and Integer Programming…

We prove log-concavity of exit probabilities of lattice random walks in certain planar regions.

We study regularity properties for solutions to the nakedly degenerate elliptic equation $a_{ij}\partial_{ij}u =0$, where the coefficients satisfy $I \ge a_{ij}(x) \ge \lambda(x) I$ and the only assumption is that $\lambda^{-1} \in L^p$. We…

Motivated by the work of Anderson, Vamanamurthy and Vuorinen \cite{avv}, in this paper authors study the log-convexity and log-concavity of Power mean, Identric mean, weighted Power mean, Lehmer mean, Modified Alzer mean, and establish the…

In this paper we prove different functional inequalities extending the classical Rogers-Shephard inequalities for convex bodies. The original inequalities provide an optimal relation between the volume of a convex body and the volume of…

In this paper we provide a classification on the sign distribution of $\Delta _{E,\ell}(n):= p_{E,\ell }(n)^2 - p_{E,\ell }(n-1) \, p_{E,\ell }(n+1)$, where \begin{equation*} \sum_{n =0}^{\infty} p_{E,\ell }(n) \, q^n := \prod_{n \in S}…

Given a recurrent sequence ${\bf U}:=\{U_n\}_{n\ge 0}$ we consider the problem of counting ${\mathcal M}_U(x)$, the number of integers $n\le x$ such that $U_n=u^2+nv^2$ for some integers $u,v$. We will show that ${\mathcal M}_U(x)\ll x(\log…

We use a method, inspired by Pohozeav's work, to study asymptotic behaviors of non-variational elliptic systems in dimension n greater than two. The results apply to changing sign solutions.

We present a certain generalization of a recent result of M. I. Cirnu on linear recurrence relations with coefficient in progressions [2]. We provide some interesting examples related to some well-known integer sequences, such as Fibonacci…

I propose and investigate the use of continuous functional equations for the study of meta-Fibonacci integer sequences. This exploratory study includes three sequences with quite different behavior: Conway's famous sequence $A(n)=…
