Bell Numbers, Log-concavity, and Log-convexity
Let fb k (n)g 1 n=0 be the Bell numbers of order k. It is proved that the sequence fb k (n)=n!g 1 n=0 is log-concave and the sequence fb k (n)g 1 n=0 is log-convex, or equivalently, the following inequalities hold for all n 0, 1 b k (n + 2)b k (n) b k (n + 1) 2 n + 2 n + 1 : Let f(n)g 1 n=0 be a sequence of positive numbers with (0) = 1. We show that if f(n)g 1 n=0 is log-convex, then (n)(m) (n...
متن کاملLog-convexity and log-concavity of hypergeometric-like functions
We find sufficient conditions for log-convexity and log-concavity for the functions of the forms a 7→ ∑ fk(a)kx , a 7→ ∑ fkΓ(a + k)x k and a 7→ ∑ fkx k/(a)k. The most useful examples of such functions are generalized hypergeometric functions. In particular, we generalize the Turán inequality for the confluent hypergeometric function recently proved by Barnard, Gordy and Richards and log-convexi...
متن کاملLog-concavity, Log-convexity, and Growth Order in White Noise Analysis
Being motivated by the work of Cochran et al. on the Gel'fand triple E] (L 2) E] , we are led to nd elementary functions to replace the exponential generating functions G and G 1== for the characterization of generalized and test functions. We deene the Legendre transformù for u in C +;log and the L-function Lu when u 2 C +;log is (log, exp)-convex. We show that u is equivalent to Lu. The dual ...
متن کاملRoles of Log-concavity, Log-convexity, and Growth Order in White Noise Analysis
In this paper we will develop a systematic method to answer the questions (Q1)(Q2)(Q3)(Q4) (stated in Section 1) with complete generality. As a result, we can solve the difficulties (D1)(D2) (discussed in Section 1) without uncertainty. For these purposes we will introduce certain classes of growth functions u and apply the Legendre transform to obtain a sequence which leads to the weight seque...
متن کاملMatroids and log-concavity
We show that f -vectors of matroid complexes of realizable matroids are strictly log-concave. This was conjectured by Mason in 1972. Our proof uses the recent result by Huh and Katz who showed that the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a realizable matroid form a log-concave sequence. We also prove a statement on log-concavity of h-vectors which strengthens a result by Brown and ...
