We give the following version of Fatou's theorem for distributions that are boundary values of analytic functions. We prove that if $f\in\mathcal{D}^{\prime}(a,b) $ is the distributional limit of the analytic function $F$ defined in a…

In this note, the main focus is on a question about transcendental entire functions mapping $\mathbb{Q}$ into $\mathbb{Q}$ (which is related to a Mahler's problem). In particular, we prove that, for any $t>0$, there is no a transcendental…

We introduce two families of transcendental numbers which we call finite factorial (FF) and partially finite factorial (PFF) numbers respectively, with the former one being subfamily of the latter one. These numbers arise naturally from…

We answer a number of questions relating to the pseudo-Smarandache function Z(n). We show that the ratio of consecutive values $Z(n+1)/Z(n)$ and $Z(n-1)/Z(n)$ are unbounded; that $Z(2n)/Z(n)$ is unbounded; that $n/Z(n)$ takes every integer…

In this short note we prove the following result: If a completely multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to[-1,1]$ is small on average in the sense that $\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)\ll x^{1-\delta}$, for some $\delta>0$, and if the Dirichlet series…

Suppose a complex function $f$ has a Lebesgue measurable inverse Laplace transform. We show that the $n$th order forward and backward differences of $f$ at $z_0\in\mathbb{C}$ tend to zero as $n\to\infty$ whenever $z_0$ lies in the region of…

We present a new, short and independent proof of the Liouville-type theorem for entire and subharmonic functions of finite order bounded outside some set of zero planar density.

Let $f$ be an entire function with the form $f(z)=P(e^z)/e^z$, where $P$ is a polynomial with degree at least $2$ and $P(0)\neq 0$. We prove that the area of the complement of the fast escaping set (hence the Fatou set) of $f$ in a…

Let $n \neq 8$ be a positive integer such that $n+1 \neq 2^u$ for any integer $u\geq 2$. Let $\phi(x)$ belonging to $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a monic polynomial which is irreducible modulo all primes less than or equal to $n+1$. Let $a_j(x)$ with…

For univalent and normalized functions $f$ the logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n(f)$ are determined by the formula $\log(f(z)/z)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}2\gamma_n(f)z^n$. In the paper \cite{Pon} the authors posed the conjecture that a locally…

Power series are introduced that are simultaneously convergent for all real and p-adic numbers. Our expansions are in some aspects similar to those of exponential, trigonometric, and hyperbolic functions. Starting from these series and…

We extend the recently developed theory of Roehrig and Zwegers on indefinite theta functions to prove certain power series are modular forms. As a consequence, we obtain several power series identities for powers of the generating function…

We consider the dynamical properties of transcendental entire functions and their compositions. We give several conditions under which Fatou set of a transcendental entire function $f$ coincide with that of $f\circ g,$ where $g$ is another…

For real power series whose non-zero coefficients satisfy $|a_m|^{1/m}\to~1$ we prove a stronger version of Fabry theorem relating the frequency of sign changes in the coefficients and analytic continuation of the sum of the power series.

We consider the asymptotic expansion of the functional series \[S_{\mu}^\pm(a;\lambda)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(\pm 1)^n e^{-\lambda n}}{(n^2+a^2)^\mu}\] for $\lambda>0$ and $\mu\geq0$ as $|a|\to \infty$ in the sector $|\arg\,a|<\pi/2$. The…

A generalized family of transcendental (non-polynomial entire) functions is constructed, where the Hausdorff dimension and the packing dimension of the Julia sets are equal to one. Further, there exist multiply connected wandering domains,…

We introduce a novel arithmetic function $w(n)$, a generalization of the Liouville function $\lambda(n)$, as the coefficients of a Dirichlet series. By spatially encoding information in a natural way about the distribution of prime factors…

A Liouville function is a complex analytic function H with a Taylor series \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} x^n/a_n such the a_n's form a ``very fast growing'' sequence of integers. In this paper we exhibit the complete first-order theory of the complex…

Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function of finite order which has an attracting periodic point $z_0$ of period at least $2$. Suppose that the set of singularities of the inverse of $f$ is finite and contained in the component $U$ of the…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a type of generalized power series to be algebraic over the ring of power series with coefficients in a finite field. This result extend a classical theorem of Huang-Stefanescu.
