Negative correlation and log‐concavity [PDF]

open access: yesRandom Structures & Algorithms, 2009
AbstractWe give counterexamples and a few positive results related to several conjectures of R. Pemantle (Pemantle, J Math Phys 41 (2000), 1371–1390) and D. Wagner (Wagner, Ann Combin 12 (2008), 211–239) concerning negative correlation and log‐concavity properties for probability measures and relations between them.

Optimal $L^2$ Extensions of Openness Type and Related Topics

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Mathématique, 2023
We establish several optimal $L^2$ extension theorems of openness type on weakly pseudoconvex Kähler manifolds. We prove a product property for certain minimal $L^2$ extensions, which generalizes the product property of Bergman kernels.

Equivariant Log Concavity and Representation Stability [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Mathematics Research Notices, 2021
AbstractWe expand upon the notion of equivariant log concavity and make equivariant log concavity conjectures for Orlik–Solomon algebras of matroids, Cordovil algebras of oriented matroids, and Orlik–Terao algebras of hyperplane arrangements. In the case of the Coxeter arrangement for the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_n$, we exploit the theory ...

The ratio log-concavity of the Cohen numbers

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2016
Let U n $U_{n}$ denote the nth Cohen number. Some combinatorial properties for U n $U_{n}$ have been discovered. In this paper, we prove the ratio log-concavity of U n $U_{n}$ by establishing the lower and upper bounds for U n U n − 1 $\frac{U_{n}}{U_{n ...

Proof of a conjecture of Z-W Sun on ratio monotonicity

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2016
In this paper, we study the log-behavior of a new sequence { S n } n = 0 ∞ $\{S_{n}\} _{n=0}^{\infty}$ , which was defined by Z-W Sun. We find that the sequence is log-convex by using the interlacing method.

An Exponentiality Test of Fit Based on a Tail Characterization against Heavy and Light-Tailed Alternatives

open access: yesRisks, 2023
Log-concavity and log-convexity play a key role in various scientific fields, especially in those where the distinction between exponential and non-exponential distributions is necessary for inferential purposes.

Log-concavity of characteristic polynomials and the Bergman fan of matroids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In a recent paper, the first author proved the log-concavity of the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a matroid realizable over a field of characteristic 0, answering a long-standing conjecture of Read in graph theory.

Valuations on Log-Concave Functions [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Geometric Analysis, 2020
A classification of $\operatorname{SL}(n)$ and translation covariant Minkowski valuations on log-concave functions is established. The moment vector and the recently introduced level set body of log-concave functions are characterized. Furthermore, analogs of the Euler characteristic and volume are characterized as $\operatorname{SL}(n)$ and ...

Chernoff’s density is log-concave

open access: yesBernoulli, 2014
We show that the density of $Z=\mathop {\operatorname {argmax}}\{W(t)-t^2\}$, sometimes known as Chernoff's density, is log-concave. We conjecture that Chernoff's density is strongly log-concave or "super-Gaussian", and provide evidence in support of the conjecture.
