Achieving Fair Spectrum Allocation and Reduced Spectrum Handoff in Wireless Sensor Networks: Modeling via Biobjective Optimization by Sang-Seon Byun, Kimmo Kansanen, Ilangko Balasingham, Joon-Min Gil

“…We cast this problem into a multiobjective mixed integer nonconvex nonlinear programming that is definitely difficult to solve at least globally without any aid of conversion or approximation. To tackle this intractability, we first convexify the original problem using arithmetic-geometric mean approximation and logarithmic change of the decision variables and then deploy weighted Chebyshev norm-based scalarization method in order to collapse the multiobjective problem into a single objective one. …”

Monotonicity and positivity of several functions involving ratios and products of polygamma functions by Feng Qi, Dongkyu Lim, Kwara Nantomah

“…In the paper, the authors discover the monotonic properties of the functions ψ ( n ) ( x ) x ψ ( n + 1 ) ( x ) and ψ ( n ) ( x ) ψ ( n ) ( 1 x ) $$ \frac{\psi ^{(n)}(x)}{x\psi ^{(n+1)}(x)} \quad \text{and}\quad \psi ^{(n)}(x) \psi ^{(n)}\biggl(\frac{1}{x}\biggr) $$ for n ≥ 0 $n\ge 0$ on ( 0 , ∞ ) $(0,\infty )$ . With the aid of these monotonic properties, the authors confirm the positivity of the function ψ ( x ) + x ψ ′ ( x ) − ψ ( x ) ψ ( 1 x ) $$ \psi (x)+x\psi '(x)-\psi (x)\psi \biggl(\frac{1}{x}\biggr) $$ on ( 0 , ∞ ) $(0,\infty )$ . …”
