A functional inequality which calculates the limitation of human eyes

Find all pair of function $f^-,f^+:[0,1]\rightarrow[0,1]$ such that: (1)$f^-(x)\leq x\leq f^+(x)$. (2)$f^-(x)+f^+(1-x)=1$. (3)$f^-(x)f^-(y)\leq f^-(xy)\leq f^-(x)f^+(y)$. (4)$f^+(x)f^-(y)\leq f^+(xy)\...

Multiexponential analysis of infection counts with errors

In the past, I have seen some decompositions of sums of exponential decays into components by the Padé-Laplace method: Apply the Laplace transform $${\frak L}(\sum_{i=1}^n a_i e^{k_i t}) = \sum_{i=1}^...
