We find the intervals $[\alpha, \beta (\alpha)]$ such that if a univariate real polynomial or entire function $f(z) = a_0 + a_1 z + a_2 z^2 + \cdots $ with positive coefficients satisfy the conditions $ \frac{a_{k-1}^2}{a_{k-2}a_{k}} \in…

We present a method for proving that Jensen polynomials associated with functions in the $\delta$-Laguerre-P\'olya class have all real roots, and demonstrate how it can be used to construct new functions belonging to the Laguerre-P\'olya…

P\'olya's Positivstellensatz on the $1$-simplex says that if $P(x)$ is a real polynomial such that $P(x)>0$ whenever $x \ge 0$, then all the coefficients of $(1+x)^mP(x)$ are positive whenever $m$ is large. Powers-Reznick gave a complexity…

I study the leading root x_0(y) of the partial theta function \Theta_0(x,y) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n y^{n(n-1)/2}, considered as a formal power series. I prove that all the coefficients of -x_0(y) are strictly positive. Indeed, I prove the…

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…

Let $\mathcal{M}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ be the class of functions $p:\mathbb{R}^n\to[1,\infty]$ bounded away from one and infinity and such that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function is bounded on the variable Lebesgue space…

In 1909, Hardy gave an example of a transcendental entire function, $f$, with the property that the set of points where $f$ achieves its maximum modulus, $\mathcal{M}(f)$, has infinitely many discontinuities. This is one of only two known…

For an entire function $f(z) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k z^k, a_k>0,$ we show that if $f$ belongs to the Laguerre-P\'olya class, and the quotients $q_k := \frac{a_{k-1}^2}{a_{k-2}a_k}, k=2, 3, \ldots $ satisfy the condition $q_2 \leq q_3,$ then…

For a real polynomial $p = \sum_{i=0}^{n} c_ix^i$ with no negative coefficients and $n\geq 6$, let $\beta (p) = \inf_{i=1}^{n-1} c_i^2/c_{i+1}c_{i-1}$ (so $\beta (p) \geq 1$ entails that $p$ is log concave). If $\beta(p) > 1.45...$, then…

In this work we study $p$-adic continuous functions in several variables taking values on $\mathbb{Z}_p$. We describe the orthonormal van der Put base of these functions and study various Lipschitz conditions in several variables,…

A class is studied of complex valued functions defined on the unit disk (with a possible exception of a discrete set) with the property that all their Pick matrices have not more than a prescribed number of negative eigenvalues. Functions…

The series $\theta (q,x):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$ converges for $|q|<1$ and defines a {\em partial theta function}. For any fixed $q\in (0,1)$ it has infinitely many negative zeros. It is known that for $q$ taking one of the…

In a recent short note the first author gave the first positive result on the higher order regularity of the discrete noncentered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function. In this article we conduct a thorough investigation of possible similar…

Let K be a p-adic field, R the valuation ring of K, P the maximal ideal of R and q the cardinality of the residue field R/P. Let f be a polynomial over R in n>1 variables and let \chi be a character of R^{\times}. Let M_i(u) be the number…

In this paper we consider Cartan-Hadamard manifolds (i.e. simply connected of non-positive sectional curvature) whose negative Ricci curvature grows polynomially at infinity. We show that a number of functional properties, which typically…

In 1979 I. Cior\u{a}nescu and L. Zsid\'o have proved a minimum modulus theorem for entire functions dominated by the restriction to the positive half axis of a canonical product of genus zero, having all roots on the positive imaginary axis…

We introduce a wide class of deterministic subsets of primes of zero relative density and we prove Roth's Theorem in these sets, namely, we show that any subset of them with positive relative upper density contains infinitely many…

In this paper, we discuss the conditions for the function $F_a(z) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{z^k}{(a+1)(a^2+1) \ldots (a^k+1)}, a>1,$ to belong to the Laguerre-P\'olya class, or to have only real zeros.

In this paper, we employ a version of Stepanov's method, developed by Hanson and Petridis, to prove several results on additive irreducibility of multiplicative subgroups in finite fields of prime order $p$. Specifically, we show that if a…

We prove that if $f(x) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k x^k,$ $a_k >0, $ is an entire function such that the sequence $Q := \left( \frac{a_k^2}{a_{k-1}a_{k+1}} \right)_{k=1}^\infty$ is non-decreasing and $\frac{a_1^2}{a_{0}a_{2}} \geq 2\sqrt[3]{2},$…
