We develop an analytic approach that draws on tools from Fourier analysis and ergodic theory to study Ramsey-type problems involving sums and products in the integers. Suppose $Q$ denotes a polynomial with integer coefficients. We establish…

Suppose that \[ \vec{\gamma}(t) := (\gamma_1(t),\dots,\gamma_n(t)) = (a_1 t^{d_1},\dots,a_n t^{d_n}), \; \; \; 1\leq d_1 < \dots < d_n, \ a_i \neq 0\] is a homogeneous polynomial curve. We prove that whenever $p_1,\dots,p_n > 1$ and…

We generalize the Gr\"obner basis method for free D-modules to the case of several term orderings induced by a partition of the set of basic variables. Using this generalized Gr\"obner basis technique we prove the existence and give a…

We consider the nonparametric regression problem with multiple predictors and an additive error, where the regression function is assumed to be coordinatewise nondecreasing. We propose a Bayesian approach to make an inference on the…

The ratio monotonicity of a polynomial is a stronger property than log-concavity. Let P(x) be a polynomial with nonnegative and nondecreasing coefficients. We prove the ratio monotone property of P(x+1), which leads to the log-concavity of…

We present a novel notion of $\lambda$-monotonicity for an $n$-species system of partial differential equations governed by mass-preserving flow dynamics, extending monotonicity in Banach spaces to the Wasserstein-2 metric space. We show…

We say that a random integer variable $X$ is monotone if the modulus of the characteristic function of $X$ is decreasing on $[0,\pi]$. This is the case for many commonly encountered variables, e.g., Bernoulli, Poisson and geometric random…

Consider a complete asymptotically flat 3-manifold $M$ with non-negative scalar curvature and non-empty minimal boundary $\Sigma$. Fix a number $1 < p < 3$. We derive monotone quantities for $p$-harmonic functions on $M$ which become…

A class of functions involving the divided differences of the psi function and the polygamma functions and originating from Kershaw's double inequality are proved to be completely monotonic. As applications of these results, the…

In this paper, we study the asymptotic properties (bias, variance, mean squared error) of Bernstein estimators for cumulative distribution functions and density functions near and on the boundary of the $d$-dimensional simplex. Our results…

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…

We give formulas for the multiplicity of any affine isolated zero of a generic polynomial system of n equations in n unknowns with prescribed sets of monomials. First, we consider sets of supports such that the origin is an isolated root of…

We introduce completely monotonic functions of order $r>0$ and show that the remainders in asymptotic expansions of the logarithm of Barnes double gamma function and Euler's gamma function give rise to completely monotonic functions of any…

Let $P(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $m$, with nonnegative and non-decreasing coefficients. We settle the conjecture that for any positive real number $d$, the coefficients of $P(x+d)$ form a unimodal sequence, of which the special case $d$…

Let $F_{p}(x) =L( t^{p}f(t)) =\int_{0}^{\infty }t^{p}f(t) e^{-xt}dt$ converge on $(0,\infty)$ for $p\in \mathbb{N}_{0}=\mathbb{N}\cup{0}$, where $f(t)$ is positive on $(0,\infty)$. In a recent paper [Z.-H. Yang, A complete monotonicity…

We prove the following type of discrete entropy monotonicity for sums of isotropic, log-concave, independent and identically distributed random vectors $X_1,\dots,X_{n+1}$ on $\mathbb{Z}^d$: $$ H(X_1+\cdots+X_{n+1}) \geq H(X_1+\cdots+X_{n})…

Let \ $\lambda \in \mathbb{Q}^{*+}$ \ and consider a multivalued formal function of the type $$ \phi(s) : = \sum_{j=0}^k \ c_j(s).s^{\lambda + m_j}.(Log\, s)^j $$ where \ $c_j \in \C[[s]], m_j \in \mathbb{N}$ \ for \ $j \in [0,k-1]$. The…

We consider the spectrum of additive, polynomially vanishing random perturbations of deterministic matrices, as follows. Let $M_N$ be a deterministic $N\times N$ matrix, and let $G_N$ be a complex Ginibre matrix. We consider the matrix…

A general lower bound is developed for the minimax risk when estimating an arbitrary functional. The bound is based on testing two composite hypotheses and is shown to be effective in estimating the nonsmooth functional…

We consider convex monotone $C_0$-semigroups on a Banach lattice, which is assumed to be a Riesz subspace of a $\sigma$-Dedekind complete Banach lattice. Typical examples include the space of all bounded uniformly continuous functions and…
