This work provides calculus for the Fr\'echet and limiting subdifferential of the pointwise supremum given by an arbitrary family of lower semicontinuous functions. We start our study showing fuzzy results about the Fr\'echet…

Let X be a complex projective manifold and f a dominating rational map from X onto X. We show that the topological entropy h(f) of f is bounded from above by the logarithm of its maximal dynamical degree.

For various arithmetic functions $f:\mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R}$, the behavior of $f(n!)$ and that of $\sum_{n\le N} f(n!)$ can be intriguing. For instance, for some functions $f$, we have ${f(n!)=\sum_{k\le n}f(k)}$, for others, we have…

Let F be a family of functions meromorphic in a domain D. If {|f|/(1+|f|^3):f in F} is locally uniformly bounded away from zero, then F is normal.

For a function field $K$ and fixed polynomial $F\in K[x]$ and varying $f\in F$ (under certain restrictions) we give a lower bound for the degree of the greatest prime divisor of $F(f)$ in terms of the height of $f$, establishing a strong…

We introduce the notion of rationality for hyperholomorphic functions (functions in the kernel of the Cauchy-Fueter operator). Following the case of one complex variable, we give three equivalent definitions: the first in terms of…

In this paper we introduce elementary and completely explicit formulas for the derivative of any order of any function of the type 1/p, where p is a polynomial with known zeros.

In this paper the Mittag-Leffler function is given through the exponential functions for any rational derivatives of m/n order, where m<n, n>1 are natural irreducible numbers (if n=1 then m is also equal to unity). Unlike the previous…

We determine all entire functions $f$ such that for nonzero complex values $a\neq b$ the implications $f=a \Rightarrow f' =a$ and $f' =b \Rightarrow f=b$ hold. This solves an open problem in uniqueness theory. In this context we give a…

We introduce a new fractional derivative which obeys classical properties including: linearity, product rule, quotient rule, power rule, chain rule, vanishing derivatives for constant functions, the Rolle's Theorem and the Mean Value…

A method of calculation for the variational derivatives for gravitational actions in the pseudo-Riemannian case is proposed as a practical variant of the first order formalism with constraints. The method is then used to derive the metric…

Let $r(z)$ be a rational function with at most $n$ poles, $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n,$ where $|a_j| > 1,$ $1\leq j\leq n.$ This paper investigates the estimate of the modulus of the derivative of a rational function $r(z)$ on the unit circle.…

We prove that any isotropic positive definite function on the sphere can be written as the spherical self-convolution of an isotropic real-valued function. It is known that isotropic positive definite functions on d-dimensional Euclidean…

If the denominator of a rational function of several variables is sum of even powers and the numerator is a monomial, then we give a numerical criterion, using the exponents involved in the expression of the rational function, to decide if…

We employ the framework of operational calculus to derive the operators associated with the spherical mean and a class of related averaging means of a function in $n$-dimensional space. Beginning with the classical definition of the…

We analyse a family of mutually orthogonal polynomials on the unit ball with respect to an inner product which involves the outward normal derivatives on the sphere. Using their representation in terms of spherical harmonics, algebraic and…

Given a suitable arithmetic function h, we investigate the average order of h as it ranges over the values taken by an integral binary form F. A general upper bound is obtained for this quantity, in which the dependence upon the…

Let $f$ be an arithmetic function satisfying some simple conditions. The aim of this paper is to establish an asymptotical formula for the quantity \[ S_f(x):=\sum_{n\leq x}\frac{f([x/n])}{[x/n]} \] as $x\rightarrow\infty$, where $[t]$ is…

In this article, we study the fractional spherical maximal function and its lacunary counterpart. We study the necessary and sufficient conditions for $L^p-L^q$ boundedness of both maximal functions. In particular, we prove the restricted…

We show a pointwise estimate for the Fourier transform on the line involving the number of times the function changes monotonicity. The contrapositive of the theorem may be used to find a lower bound to the number of local maxima of a…
