It is shown that there exist such a function g from L^1[0,1] and a weight function 0<u(x)<=1 that g is universal for the weighted space L^1_u[0,1] with respect to signs of its Fourier-Walsh coefficients.

It is shown that quasi all continuous functions on the unit circle have the property that, for many small subsets E of the circle, the partial sums of their Fourier series considered as functions restricted to E exhibit certain universality…

We prove that for any $\alpha\in[0,\omega_1)$ there exists a strongly separately continuous function $f:\ell_\infty\to [0,1]$ such that $f$ belongs to the $(\alpha+1)$'th /$(\alpha+2)$'th/ Baire class and does not belong to the $\alpha$'th…

We show that there exists an entire function which has neither fixed points nor invariant Baker domains. The question whether such a function exists was raised by Buff.

A function f:R -> R is approximately continuous iff it is continuous in the density topology, i.e., for any ordinary open set U the set E=f^{-1}(U) is measurable and has Lebesgue density one at each of its points. Denjoy proved that…

We prove that if $X$ is a paracompact space, $Y$ is a metric space and $f:X\to Y$ is a functionally fragmented map, then (i) $f$ is $\sigma$-discrete and functionally $F_\sigma$-measurable; (ii) $f$ is a Baire-one function, if $Y$ is weak…

Let $L(G)$ denote the space of integer-valued length functions on a countable group $G$ endowed with the topology of pointwise convergence. Assuming that $G$ does not satisfy any non-trivial mixed identity, we prove that a generic (in the…

We examine when the composition of two entire functions f and g is even, and extend some of our results to cyclic compositions in general. We prove some theorems for the cases when f or g is a polynomial. Two of the key theorems we use are…

A classical theorem of Kuratowski says that every Baire one function on a G_\delta subspace of a Polish (= separable completely metrizable) space X can be extended to a Baire one function on X. Kechris and Louveau introduced a finer…

Given a compact set $K$ in the plane, which does not contain any triple of points forming a vertical and a horizontal segment, and a map $f\in C(K)$, we give a construction of functions $g,h\in C(\mathbb R)$ such that $f(x,y)=g(x)+h(y)$ for…

If $f(x,y)$ is a real function satisfying $y>0$ and $\sum_{r=0}^{n-1}f(x+ry,ny)=f(x,y)$ for $n=1,2,3,\ldots$, we say that $f(x,y)$ is an invariant function. Many special functions including Bernoulli polynomials, Gamma function and Hurwitz…

The linear continuity of a function defined on a vector space means that its restriction on every affine line is continuous. For functions defined on $\mathbb R^m$ this notion is near to the separate continuity for which it is required only…

The well-known Bohr--P\'al theorem asserts that for every continuous real-valued function $f$ on the circle $\mathbb T$ there exists a change of variable, i.e., a homeomorphism $h$ of $\mathbb T$ onto itself, such that the Fourier series of…

We show an extention of a theorem of Kaczynski to boundary functions in n-dimensional space. Let $H$ denote the upper half-plane, and let $X$ denote its frontier, the $x$-axis. Suppose that $f$ is a function mapping $H$ into some metric…

A failed attempt to prove the universality of Lerch zeta function $L(\lambda,\alpha,s)$ when $\lambda$ is irrational and $\alpha$ is rational, and for any $\lambda$ when $\alpha$ is irrational algebraic.

We prove an implicit function theorem for non-commutative functions. We use this to show that if $p(X,Y)$ is a generic non-commuting polynomial in two variables, and $X$ is a generic matrix, then all solutions $Y$ of $p(X,Y)=0$ will commute…

A holomorphic function $f$ on the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ belongs to the class $\mathcal{U}_A (\mathbb{D})$ of Abel universal functions if the family $\{f_r: 0\leq r<1\}$ of its dilates $f_r(z):=f(rz)$ is dense in the Banach space of all…

We generalise a result of Hedenmalm to show that if a function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}$ is such that $\int_{\mathbb{R}^2} \bigl|f(x) \, \hat f(y)\bigr| \,e^{\lambda \left|xy\right|} \,dx\,dy = O( (1-\lambda)^{-N} )$ as $\lambda \to 1-$, then $f$…

The main purpose of this work is to provide the general solutions of a class of linear functional equations. Let $n\geq 2$ be an arbitrarily fixed integer, let further $X$ and $Y$ be linear spaces over the field $\mathbb{K}$ and let…

For a set $X\sbst\R$, let $B(X)\sbst\R^X$ denote the space of Borel real-valued functions on $X$, with the topology inherited from the Tychonoff product $\R^X$. Assume that for each countable $A\sbst B(X)$, each $f$ in the closure of $A$ is…
