We provide a direct injection for the well-known strong log-convexity of the Bell numbers $B_n$, that is $B_mB_n\le B_{m-1}B_{n+1}$ for every $1\le m\le n$. Our injection $\Pi_m\times\Pi_n\to \Pi_{m-1}\times\Pi_{n+1}$, where $\Pi_n$ denotes the set of all partitions of $[n]$, preserves the total number of blocks in the pair of partitions. In other words, it is also an injection for the strong $q$-log-convexity of Touchard polynomials, a result established by Chen, Wang, and Yang using analytical arguments. As an application of the injection, we also recover a related result of Chern, Diaconis, Kane, and Rhoades.
Let $C_n$ be the optimal constant with the following property. For every even, continuous, strictly positive density $f$ on $R^n$ and all origin-symmetric convex bodies $K,L\subset R^n$, the inequalities $$ \int_{K\cap\xi^\perp}f \leq \int_{L\cap\xi^\perp}f \qquad\text{for all }\xi\in S^{n-1} $$ imply $\int_Kf\leq C_n\...
For every $1\leq p<\infty$ and even integer $m\geq4$, we determine the optimal order of the $p$-moment torus inequality for $L_1$: it is $m^p n^{(1-p/2)_+}+n$, with comparison constants independent of $p,m,n$ after taking $p$-th roots. Consequently, for every $2\leq q<\infty$ and $1\leq p\leq q$, the corresponding metr...
For $m\geq 2$, let $c_p(m)$ be the all-dimensional best constant in $$ \left\|\sum_{k=1}^m A_k\right\|_p \leq c_p(m)\left\|\sum_{k=1}^m |A_k|\right\|_p. $$ Tang and Zhang conjectured an explicit formula for every finite $p>1$. We disprove the conjecture with two explicit real $2\times 2$ rank-one matrices at $p=3/2$. T...
Let $q(n)$ denote the total number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts and $\Delta$ be the difference operator with respect to $n$. We prove that for any real number $\alpha$, there exists an integer $n(\alpha)$ such that the sequence\ $\{\sqrt[n]{q(n)/n^{\alpha } } \}_{n\ge n(\alpha) } $ is log-convex by obtainin...

Let $B_{m}$ and $D_{n}$ be the denominators of the $m$th and $n$th convergent of the real numbers $\alpha$ and $\beta$, respectively. We introduce an abnormal method in the theory of simultaneous Diophantine approximation to the pair $\alpha,\beta$. Namely, the question of finding simultaneous approximation is turned i...
Let $p(m,n)$ denote the number of partitions of a rectangle $m\times n$ into integer-sided rectangular blocks, where two partitions are indistinguishable if they consist of the same multiset of blocks, regardless of their geometric arrangement. We present an elementary approach to show that, for every fixed positive in...
