Mind the gap: education inequality at the regional level in Portugal, 1986-2005
Portugal stands as one of the most unequal countries in terms of income among the developed countries. Over the period 1980-2005, income inequality kept high, fostered mainly by a monotonic increase in earnings inequality.

Sufficient oscillation conditions are obtained for second order differential equations with several non-monotone deviating arguments. The oscillation results are mainly based on the technique of reduction of order.

Properties of modified Bessel functions and completely monotonic degrees of differences between exponential and trigamma functions [PDF]
In the paper, the author establishes inequalities, monotonicity, convexity, and unimodality for functions concerning the modified Bessel functions of the first kind and compute the completely monotonic degrees of differences between the exponential and ...

On a Conjecture of Alzer, Berg, and Koumandos
In this paper, we find a solution of an open problem posed by Alzer, Berg, and Koumandos: determine ( α , m ) ∈ R + × N such that the function x α | ψ ( m ) ( x ) | is completely monotonic on ( 0 , ∞ ) , where ψ (

Some inequalities for (p,q) $(p,q)$-mixed volume
Lutwak, Yang, and Zhang introduced the concept of (p,q) $(p,q)$-mixed volume whose special cases contain the Lp $L_{p}$-mixed volume and the Lp $L_{p}$-dual mixed volume.

Functional inequalities involving modified Struve functions [PDF]
In this paper our aim is to prove some monotonicity and convexity results for the modified Struve function of the second kind by using its integral representation.

2. Inequality, welfare and monotonicity [PDF]
We establish a general relationship between the standard form of the individualistic social-welfare function and the “reduced-form” version that is expressed in terms of inequality and mean income. This shows the relationship between the property of monotonicity and the slope of the equity-efficiency trade-off. Particularly simple results are available
