Univariate Geometric Stable Laws

The paper summarizes recent advances in the theory of geometric stable (GS) distributions. The results presented include parametrizations, characterizations, mixture representations, properties, asymptotic and convergent series expansions of densities and distribution functions, moments and tail behavior, simulation, and estimation.     

STURM COMPARISON THEOREM OF SOLUTION FOR SECOND ORDER NONLINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

In this paper, we establish some differential identities and obtain some Sturm comparison theorems for the second order nonlinear differential equation by using them.and generalize some classicial Sturm comparison theorems.     

Fuzzy-valued integrals based on a constructive methodology

The procedures for constructing a fuzzy number and a fuzzy-valued function from a family of closed intervals and two families of real-valued functions, respectively, are proposed in this paper. The constructive methodology follows from the form of the well-known “Resolution Identity” (decomposition theorem) in fuzzy sets theory. The fuzzy-valued measure is also proposed by introducing the notion of convergence for a sequence of fuzzy numbers. Under this setting, we develop the fuzzy-valued integral of fuzzy-valued function with respect to fuzzy-valued measure. Finally, we provide a Dominated Convergence Theorem for fuzzy-valued integrals.     

Applications of residues to combinatorial identities

A concrete aspect of Grothendieck Duality is used to give local cohomology proofs of combinatorial identities including MacMahon's master theorem, Grosswald identity, identity of Shoo, Tepper identity, and others.

     

An AZ-style identity and Bollobás deficiency

The powerful AZ identity is a sharpening of the famous LYM-inequality. More generally, Ahlswede and Zhang discovered a generalization in which the Bollobás inequality for two set families can be lifted to an identity.In this paper, we show another generalization of the AZ identity. The new identity implies an identity which characterizes the deficiency of the Bollobás inequality for an intersecting Sperner family. We also give some consequences relating to Helly families and LYM-style inequalities.

Cohen-Host type idempotent theorems for representations on Banach spaces and applications to Figà-Talamanca-Herz algebras

Let G be a locally compact group, and let R(G) denote the ring of subsets of G generated by the left cosets of open subsets of G. The Cohen-Host idempotent theorem asserts that a set lies in R(G) if and only if its indicator function is a coefficient function of a unitary representation of G on some Hilbert space. We prove related results for representations of G on certain Banach spaces. We apply our Cohen-Host type theorems to the study of the Figà-Talamanca-Herz algebras Ap(G) with p∈(1,∞). For arbitrary G, we characterize those closed ideals of Ap(G) that have an approximate identity bounded by 1 in terms of their hulls. Furthermore, we characterize those G such that Ap(G) is 1-amenable for some—and, equivalently, for all—p∈(1,∞): these are precisely the abelian groups.     

A reciprocity theorem for certain q-series found in Ramanujan’s lost notebook

Three proofs are given for a reciprocity theorem for a certain q-series found in Ramanujan’s lost notebook. The first proof uses Ramanujan’s ₁ψ₁ summation theorem, the second employs an identity of N. J. Fine, and the third is combinatorial. Next, we show that the reciprocity theorem leads to a two variable generalization of the quintuple product identity. The paper concludes with an application to sums of three squares.
