متن کاملLinear Transformations Preserving the Strong $q$-log-convexity of Polynomials
In this paper, we give a sufficient condition for the linear transformation preserving the strong q-log-convexity. As applications, we get some linear transformations (for instance, Morgan-Voyce transformation, binomial transformation, Narayana transformations of two kinds) preserving the strong q-log-convexity. In addition, our results not only extend some known results, but also imply the str...
متن کاملOn Log-concavity of a Class of Generalized Stirling Numbers
This paper considers the generalized Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds. First, we show that the sequences of the above generalized Stirling numbers are both log-concave under some mild conditions. Then, we show that some polynomials related to the above generalized Stirling numbers are q-log-concave or q-log-convex under suitable conditions. We further discuss the log-convexity of ...
متن کاملA Note on Log-Concavity
This is a small observation concerning scale mixtures and their log-concavity. A function f(x) ≥ 0, x ∈ Rn is called log-concave if f (λx + (1− λ)y) ≥ f(x)f(y) (1) for all x,y ∈ Rn, λ ∈ [0, 1]. Log-concavity is important in applied Bayesian Statistics, since a distribution with a log-concave density is easy to treat with many different approximate inference techniques. For example, log-concavit...
متن کاملOn the log-convexity of combinatorial sequences
Here presented is a survey for the log-convexity of some famous combinatorial sequences. We develop techniques for dealing with the log-convexity of sequences satisfying a three-term recurrence. We also introduce the concept of q-log-convexity and establish the link with linear transformations preserving the log-convexity. MSC: 05A20; 11B73; 11B83; 11B37
