We prove Polya's conjecture of 1943: For a real entire function of order greater than 2, with finitely many non-real zeros, the number of non-real zeros of the n-th derivative tends to infinity with n. We use the saddle point method and…

We will show that a multifunction is strictly proto-differentiable at a point of its graph if and only if it is graphically strictly differentiable, i.e., the graph of the multifunction locally coincides, up to a change of coordinates, with…

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…

In this paper, we investigate the uniqueness problem of difference polynomials $f^{n}(z)P(f(z))L_c(f)$ and $g^{n}(z)P(g(z))L_c(g)$, where $L_c(f)=f(z+c)+c_0f(z)$, $P(z)$ is a polynomial with constant coefficients of degree $m$ sharing a…

We consider a family of all analytic and univalent functions in the unit disk of the form $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$. The aim of this article is to investigate the bounds of the difference of moduli of initial successive coefficients,…

In this paper, we study the uniqueness of the differential-difference of meromorphic functions. We prove the following result: Let $f$ be a nonconstant meromorphic function of $\rho_{2}(f)<1$, let $\eta$ be a non-zero complex number,…

Firstly we establish a sharp pointwise estimate for the arbitrary derivative of the function $f\in F_{\alpha}^{p},$ where $F_{\alpha}^{p}$ denotes the Fock space for $1\leq p<\infty.$ Then, in a particular Hilbert case when $p=2$ we…

We prove the classical result, which goes back at least to Fourier, that a polynomial with real coefficients has all zeros real and distinct if and only if the polynomial and also all of its nonconstant derivatives have only negative minima…

Finite differences have been widely used in mathematical theory as well as in scientific and engineering computations. These concepts are constantly mentioned in calculus. Most frequently-used difference formulas provide excellent…

In this paper, the notion of $\mathbb{C}$-simulation function is introduced and the existence and uniqueness of common fixed points of two self-mappings satisfying contractive conditions in the setting of complex valued metric spaces via…

Let $F$ be a finite field, let $f$ be a function from $F$ to $F$, and let $a$ be a nonzero element of $F$. The discrete derivative of $f$ in direction $a$ is $\Delta_a f \colon F \to F$ with $(\Delta_a f)(x)=f(x+a)-f(x)$. The differential…

A new integral identity for functions with continuous second partial derivatives is derived. It is shown that the value of any function f(r,t) at position r and time t is completely determined by its previous values at all other locations…

In this paper, we present a function-sharing criterion for the normality of meromorphic functions. Let $f$ be a meromorphic function in the unit disc $\mathbb{D}\subset \mathbb{C}$, $\psi_1$, $\psi_2$, and $\psi_3$ be three meromorphic…

A pair of numbers is amicable if each number equals the sum of the proper divisors of the other. This paper after exploring the history and evolution of amicable numbers, introduces a novel characterization of amicable pairs whose greatest…

We study multivariate entire functions and polynomials with non-negative coefficients. A class of {\bf Strongly Log-Concave} entire functions, generalizing {\it Minkowski} volume polynomials, is introduced: an entire function $f$ in $m$…

Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function. The fast escaping set, $A(f)$, plays a key role in transcendental dynamics. The quite fast escaping set, $Q(f)$, defined by an apparently weaker condition is equal to $A(f)$ under certain…
