Given a sequence (a_k) = a_0, a_1, a_2,... of real numbers, define a new sequence L(a_k) = (b_k) where b_k = a_k^2 - a_{k-1} a_{k+1}. So (a_k) is log-concave if and only if (b_k) is a nonnegative sequence. Call (a_k) "infinitely…
We introduce a new infinite family of arrays, the \emph{Pascal determinantal arrays} of order $k$, denoted $PD_k$, which generalize the classical Pascal array via determinantal constructions. We present a recursive algorithm for generating…
In this paper we develop a new geometric method to answer the log-concavity questions related to a nice class of combinatorial sequences arising from the Pascal triangle.
Menon's proof of the preservation of log-concavity of sequences under convolution becomes simpler when adapted to 2-sided infinite sequences. Under assumption of log-concavity of two 2-sided infinite sequences, the existence of the…
In the $1970$s Nicolas proved that the coefficients $p_d(n)$ defined by the generating function \begin{equation*} \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} p_d(n) \, q^n = \prod_{n=1}^{\infty} \left( 1- q^n\right)^{-n^{d-1}} \end{equation*} are log-concave for…
In the $1970$s, Nicolas proved that the partition function $p(n)$ is log-concave for $ n > 25$. In \cite{HNT21}, a precise conjecture on the log-concavity for the plane partition function $\func{pp}(n)$ for $n >11$ was stated. This was…
Denote by $\P_n$ the set of $n\times n$ positive definite matrices. Let $D = D_1\oplus \dots \oplus D_k$, where $D_1\in \P_{n_1}, \dots, D_k \in \P_{n_k}$ with $n_1+\cdots + n_k=n$. Partition $C\in \P_n$ according to $(n_1, \dots, n_k)$ so…
D. Uminsky and K. Yeats [6] studied the properties of the log- operator L on the subset of the finite symmetric sequences and prove the existence of an infinite region R, bounded by parametrically de- fined hypersurfaces such that any…
We study log-concavity properties of real sequences $(a_n)_{n \ge 0}$ satisfying a $d$-th order linear recurrence whose coefficients are linear functions of $n$; the so-called P-recursive (or holonomic) sequences. Writing the recurrence in…
In the propositional modal (and algebraic) treatment of two-variable first-order logic equality is modelled by a `diagonal' constant, interpreted in square products of universal frames as the identity (also known as the `diagonal')…
Motivated by the Hadamard product of matrices we define the Hadamard product of multivariate polynomials and study its arithmetic circuit and branching program complexity. We also give applications and connections to polynomial identity…
A "truncation" of Pascal's triangle is a triangular array of numbers that satisfies the usual Pascal recurrence but with a boundary condition that declares some terminal set of numbers along each row of the array to be zero. Presented here…
We use the remark that, through Bargmann-Fock representation, diagonal operators of the Heisenberg-Weyl algebra are scalars for the Hadamard product to give some properties (like the stability of periodic fonctions) of the Hadamard product…
Parametric factorizations of linear partial operators on the plane are considered for operators of orders two, three and four. The operators are assumed to have a completely factorable symbol. It is proved that ``irreducible'' parametric…
In a recent paper a class of infinite Jacobi matrices with discrete character of spectra has been introduced. With each Jacobi matrix from this class an analytic function is associated, called the characteristic function, whose zero set…
We give a deterministic polynomial time $2^{O(r)}$-approximation algorithm for the number of bases of a given matroid of rank $r$ and the number of common bases of any two matroids of rank $r$. To the best of our knowledge, this is the…
In this paper, we develop a functional differentiability approach for solving statistical optimal allocation problems. We derive Hadamard differentiability of the value functions through analyzing the properties of the sorting operator…
Gao and Xie (2021) conjectured that the inverse Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of any matroid is log-concave. Although the inverse Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial may not always have only real roots, we conjecture that the Hadamard product of an…
The aim of this paper is to study the Harnack type logarithmic submajorisation and Fuglede-Kadison determinant inequalities for operators in a finite von Neumann algebra. In particular, the Harnack type determinant inequalities due to…
We derive new comparison inequalities between weak and strong moments of norms of random vectors with optimal (up to an universal factor) constants. We discuss applications to the concentration of log-concave random vectors and bounds on…
