Nonparametric classes of life distributions are usually based on the pattern of aging in some sense. The common parametric families of life distributions also feature monotone aging. In this paper we consider the class of log-concave distributions and the subclass of concave distributions. The work
The log-concavity of the reduction multiplicities for the classical groups of type A n , B n , C n is proved, moreover the skew Schur functions s \*ร+ are shown to be logconcave coefficient by coefficient. The results are applied to the calculation of the characters of the infinite-dimensional class
A 1996 result of Bender and Canfield showed that passing a log-concave sequence through the exponential formula resulted in a log-concave sequence which was almost log-convex. We generalize that result to q log-concavity. Our proof follows Bender and Canfield for one part. For the other part, we use
