R. Salem (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 53 (3) (1943) 427-439) asked whether the Fourier-Stieltjes transform of the Minkowski question mark function ?(x) vanishes at infinity. In this note we present several possible approaches towards the…
The Salem problem to verify whether Fourier-Stieltjes coefficients of the Minkowski question mark function vanish at infinity is solved recently affirmatively. In this paper by using methods of classical analysis and special functions we…
We construct certain Rajchman measures by using integrability properties of the Fourier and Fourier-Stieltjes transforms. Further we show that Minkowski's question mark function ?(x), which is a singular monotone function, belongs to one of…
In this paper we investigate the Fourier-Stieltjes coefficients of the Minkowski question mark function. In 1943, R. Salem asked whether these coefficients vanish at infinity. We propose the conjecture which implies the affirmative answer…
We construct certain Rajchman measures by using integrability properties of the Fourier and Fourier-Stieltjes transforms. In particular, we state a problem and prove that it is equivalent to the known and still unsolved question posed by R.…
Minkowski's question mark function is strictly increasing on $[0, 1]$ and hence defines a Stieltjes measure on $[0, 1]$. A problem originating from Salem in 1943, is to determine whether the Fourier series of this measure decay to zero or…
The Minkowski Question Mark function relates the continued-fraction representation of the real numbers, to their binary expansion. This function is peculiar in many ways; one is that its derivative is 'singular'. One can show by classical…
In 1963, Rapha\"el Salem concluded his highly influential book ``Algebraic Numbers and Fourier Analysis'' with a list of four unsolved problems. The first two problems remain wide open while the last problem on the absolute continuity of…
We give an affirmative answer to a question asked by N. Moshchevitin \cite{m1} in his lecture at International Congress of Basic Science, Beijing, 2024 (see also \cite{m}, Section 6.3). The question is that whether the remainder $$…
Previously, several natural integral transforms of the Minkowski question mark function F(x) were introduced by the author. Each of them is uniquely characterized by certain regularity conditions and the functional equation, thus encoding…
The Minkowski question mark function is a rich object which can be explored from the perspective of dynamical systems, complex dynamics, metric number theory, multifractal analysis, transfer operators, integral transforms, and as a function…
Minkowski's question mark function is the distribution function of a singular continuous measure: we study this measure from the point of view of logarithmic potential theory and orthogonal polynomials. We conjecture that it is regular, in…
In this paper we prove pointwise and distributional Fourier transform inversion theorems for functions on the real line that are locally of bounded variation, while in a neighbourhood of infinity are Lebesgue integrable or have polynomial…
We study analogues of Minkowski's question mark function $?(x)$ related to continued fractions with even or odd partial quotients. We prove that these functions are H\"older continuous with precise exponents, and that they linearize the…
We provide a large class of functions $f$ that are bell-shaped: the $n$-th derivative of $f$ changes its sign exactly $n$ times. This class is described by means of Stieltjes-type representation of the logarithm of the Fourier transform of…
In this paper we study the inversion problem in measure and Fourier-Stieltjes algebras from qualitative and quantitative point of view extending the results obtained by N. Nikolski.
We investigate under which conditions a given invariant measure $\mu$ for the dynamical system defined by the Gauss map $x \mapsto 1/x \mod 1$ is a Rajchman measure with polynomially decaying Fourier transform $$|\widehat{\mu}(\xi)| =…
In this paper, we review the basic properties of measures vanishing at infinity and prove a version of the Riemann--Lebesgue lemma for Fourier transformable measures.
A class of Stieltjes functions of finite type is introduced. These satisfy Widder's conditions on the successive derivatives up to some finite order, and are not necessarily smooth. We show that such functions have a unique integral…
The paper surveys the basic properties of generalized Stieltjes functions including some new ones. We introduce the notion of the exact Stieltjes order and give a criterion of exactness, simple sufficient conditions and some prototypical…
