Let $A(p,n,k)$ be the number of $p$-tuples of commuting permutations of $n$ elements whose permutation action results in exactly $k$ orbits or connected components. We formulate the conjecture that, for every fixed $p$ and $n$, the…
Let $(L_n)_{n \geq 1}$ be the sequence of Lucas numbers, defined recursively by $L_1 := 1$, $L_2 := 3$, and $L_{n + 2} := L_{n + 1} + L_n$, for every integer $n \geq 1$. We determine the asymptotic behavior of $\log \operatorname{lcm} (L_1…
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 prove a lower bound of exp(-C (log(2/alpha))^7)N^{k-1} to the number of solutions of an invariant equation in k variables, contained in a set of density alpha. Moreover, we give a Behrend-type construction for the same problem with the…
It is proved that every normalized weakly null \sq\ has a sub\sq\ which is convexly unconditional. Further, an Hierarchy of summability methods is introduced and with this we give a complete classification of the complexity of weakly null…
We review and formulate results concerning log-concavity and strong-log-concavity in both discrete and continuous settings. We show how preservation of log-concavity and strongly log-concavity on $\mathbb{R}$ under convolution follows from…
We consider $\ell$-log-momotonic sequences and Laguerre inequality of order two for sequences $\{a_n\}_{n \ge 0}$ such that \[ \frac{a_{n-1}a_{n+1}}{a_n^2} = 1 + \sum_{i=1}^m \frac{r_i(\log n)}{n^{\alpha_i}} + o\left( \frac{1}{n^{\beta}}…
Inequalities are important features in the context of sequences of numbers and polynomials. The Bessenrodt--Ono inequality for partition numbers and Nekrasov--Okounkov polynomials has only recently been discovered. In this paper we study…
We give counterexamples and a few positive results related to several conjectures of R. Pemantle and D. Wagner concerning negative correlation and log-concavity properties for probability measures and relations between them. Most of the…
We analyze and compare the mathematical formulations of the criterion for separability for bipartite density matrices and the Bell inequalities. We show that a violation of a Bell inequality can formally be expressed as a witness for…
What can be more fascinating than {\it experimental metaphysics}, to quote one of Abner Shimony's enlightening expressions? Bell inequalities are at the heart of the study of nonlocality. I present a list of open questions, organised in…
The Boros-Moll sequences $\{d_\ell(m)\}_{\ell=0}^m$ arise in the study of evaluation of a quartic integral. After the infinite log-concavity conjecture of the sequence $\{d_\ell(m)\}_{\ell=0}^m$ was proposed by Boros and Moll, a lot of…
The Bell inequality is derived under the assumption of three physical data sets, random or deterministic. The data sets represent a laboratory realization of the three probability based variables used by Bell. For physical data as can be…
We prove that if a level set of a degree $n$ general inverse $\sigma_k$ equation $f(\lambda_1, \cdots, \lambda_n) = \lambda_1 \cdots \lambda_n - \sum_{k = 0}^{n-1} c_k \sigma_k(\lambda) = 0$ is contained in $q + \Gamma_n$ for some $q \in…
On one side, so far a great part of the evidence accepted as proof of the alleged quantum non-locality relied on inhomogeneous Bell inequalities involving an additional assumption (no-enhancement) whose role had not been sufficiently…
We propose Bell inequalities for discrete or continuous quantum systems which test the compatibility of quantum physics with an interpretation in terms of deterministic hidden-variable theories. The wave function collapse that occurs in a…
In this paper, we obtain some new inequalities for functions whose second derivatives' absolute value is s-convex and log-convex. Also, we give some applications for numerical integration.
It is well-known that the binomial transformation preserves the log-concavity property and log-convexity property. Let $\binom{a+n}{b+k}$ be the binomial coefficients and $\binom{n,k}{j}$ be defined by…
We prove that for a positive integer $c$ and any given $\varepsilon$, $0<\varepsilon<1$, the number $N(c)$ of equations $c=a+b$, $a<b$, with positive coprime integers $a$ and $b$, which satisfy the inequality $$c <…
For a sequence of nonnegative random variables, we provide simple necessary and sufficient conditions to ensure that each sequence of its forward convex combinations converges in probability to the same limit. These conditions correspond to…
