Is $\int_0^\infty{dx\over x^{x^{x^x}}}<\int_0^\infty{dx\over x^{x^{x^{x^{x^x}}}}}<\int_0^\in...
On MSE I asked whether each of $\int_0^\infty\frac{dx}{x^x},\int_0^\infty\frac{dx}{x^{x^{x^x}}},\int_0^\infty\frac{dx}{x^{x^{x^{x^{x^x}}}}},\cdots$ was less than $2$ and received answers on bounding t …

Maximal increasing behaviour of $\sqrt{-\log x}\operatorname{Li}_{1/2}(x)$
This is an extension of a problem in mathematical biology. It appears that
For any $\varepsilon>0$, there exists an interval $I\subset(0,1)$ on which $\sqrt{-\log x}^{1+\varepsilon}\operatorname{Li}_ …

Jensen-like inequality for random matrix: $\Bbb E[\det X^2]\ge\det\Bbb E[X^2]$
Let $X\in M_n(\Bbb R)$ be a random matrix with iid elements following a continuous distribution.
What are the necessary and sufficient conditions for $$\Bbb E[\det X^2]\ge\det\Bbb E[X^2]$$ to hold? Is …

Jensen-like inequality for random matrix: $\Bbb E[\det X^2]\ge\det\Bbb E[X^2]$
From the identities in @OlivierBégassat's answer, the inequality $\Bbb E\det X^2\ge\det\Bbb EX^2$ can be written as $$\small n!\sum_{f=0}^n\binom nf(-1)^{n-f-1}(n-f-1)(\Bbb V[X]+\Bbb E[X]^2)^f\Bbb E[X …
