We explain the exact meaning of a statement we made in a previous paper on invariants, namely that a complex-valued function of the data of the functional equation of an $L$-function is an invariant if and only if it is stable under the…
As an application of Brouwer's fixed-point theorem we prove that a continuously differentiable convex function with gradient of constant norm is an affine mapping. It is a first-order characterization of affine mappings among continuously…
This work revolves around the study of differentiability in the Stieltjes sense of a product of functions. A formula for the first order derivative has been obtained in the past, which is similar to the usual one with some extra terms in…
Consider a normal function $f$ on the ordinals (i. e. a function $f$ that is strictly increasing and continuous at limit stages). By enumerating the fixed points of $f$ we obtain a faster normal function $f'$, called the derivative of $f$.…
Functions that are piecewise defined are a common sight in mathematics while convexity is a property especially desired in optimization. Suppose now a piecewise-defined function is convex on each of its defining components - when can we…
We prove maximum and comparison principles for fractional discrete derivatives in the integers. Regularity results when the space is a mesh of length $h$, and approximation theorems to the continuous fractional derivatives are shown. When…
In this paper we consider a fragment of the first-order theory of the real numbers that includes systems of equations of continuous functions in bounded domains, and for which all functions are computable in the sense that it is possible to…
We propose a novel foundation for calculus that focuses on the notion of approximations while avoiding the use of limits altogether. Continuity is defined as approximation at a point, while differentiability is defined as approximation with…
We give a direct and elementary proof of the theorem on formal functions by studying the behaviour of the Godement resolution of a sheaf of modules under completion.
Historically the fractional calculus concept works an extended idea based on the question asked by Guillaume de L'H\^opital to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in 1695 about the notation ${d^nf}/{dx^n}$ for the derivative operator "What if…
We discuss some of the mathematical properties of the fractional derivative defined by means of Fourier transforms. We first consider its action on the set of test functions $\Sc(\mathbb R)$, and then we extend it to its dual set,…
This paper considers projection and convolution operations for integrally convex functions, which constitute a fundamental function class in discrete convex analysis. It is shown that the class of integrally convex functions is stable under…
A classical result states that every lower bounded superharmonic function on $\Bbb R^2$ is constant. In this paper the following (stronger) one-circle version is proven. If $f\colon \Bbb R^2\to (-\infty,\infty]$ is lower semicontinuous,…
We prove a structure theorem for stable functions on amenable groups, which extends the arithmetic regularity lemma for stable subsets of finite groups. Given a group $G$, a function $f\colon G\to [-1,1]$ is called stable if the binary…
We investigate simpliciality of function spaces without constants. We prove, in particular, that several properties characterizing simpliciality in the classical case differ in this new setting. We also show that it may happen that a given…
While the definition of a fractional integral may be codified by Riemann and Liouville, an agreed-upon fractional derivative has eluded discovery for many years. This is likely a result of integral definitions including numerous constants…
This paper is concerned with qualitative properties of bounded steady flows of an ideal incompressible fluid with no stagnation point in the two-dimensional plane R^2. We show that any such flow is a shear flow, that is, it is parallel to…
We study one class of continuous functions $f$ defined on segment $[0,1]$ by equality $$ f(x)=\delta_{\alpha_1(x)1}+\sum^{\infty}_{k=2}\left[\delta_{\alpha_k(x)k}\prod^{k-1}_{j=1}g_{\alpha_j…
We extend the classical Liouville Theorem from Laplacian to the fractional Laplacian, that is, we prove Every $\alpha$-harmonic function bounded either above or below in all of $R^n$ must be constant.
The main purpose of this paper is to give characterization theorems on derivations as well as on linear functions. Among others the following problem will be investigated: Let $n\in\mathbb{Z}$, $f, g\colon\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be…
