Given an open bounded subset Ω of ℝ^(n) we consider the eigenvalue problem{Δu-(■u,■V)=-λvu,u>0inΩ,u=0 onδΩ,where V is a given function defined inΩandλV is the relevant eigenvalue.We determine sufficient cond...
Carlitz and Riordan introduced the q-analogue f_(q)(n,k)of ballot numbers.In this paper,using the combinatorial interpretation of f_(q)(n,k)and constructing injections,we prove that f_(q)(n,k)is q-log-concave with res...

Elias,et al.(2016)conjectured that the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of any matroid is logconcave.Inspired by a computer proof of Moll’s log-concavity conjecture given by Kauers and Paule,the authors use a computer alge...

An independent set in a graph G is a set of pairwise non-adjacent vertices.Let ik(G)denote the number of independent sets of cardinality k in G.Then its generating function I(G;x)=∑^(α(G))^(k=0)ik(G)x^(k),is called ...

Truncated elliptical distributions occur naturally in theoretical and applied statistics and are essential for the study of other classes of multivariate distributions.Two members of this class are the multivariate tr...

Let {Pn},n≥0 denote the Catalan-Larcombe-French sequence, which naturally came from the series expansion of the complete elliptic integral of the first kind. In this paper, we prove the strict log-concavity of the se...

In 2012,Zhi-Wei Sun posed many conjectures about the monotonicity of sequences of form {n√zn},where {zn} is a familiar number-theoretic or combinatorial sequence. We show that if the sequence {zn+1/zn}is increasing(r...
