The general theme of this note is illustrated by the following theorem: Theorem 1. Suppose $K$ is a compact set in the complex plane and 0 belongs to the boundary $\partial K$. Let ${\cal A}(K)$ denote the space of all functions $f$ on $K$…

For a wide class of domains $G\subset\mathbb C^d$ including balls and polydisks we prove the density of their canonical image in the spectrum of $H^\infty(G)$. This Corona Theorem is proved first in its abstract version for certain uniform…

Let $D$ be the open unit disc in the complex plane. We denote by $\mathbb{C}$ the set of complex numbers and consider any compact set $K$ which is disjoint from $D$ and which also has connected complement. Let $A(K)$ denote all the…

For compact sets $K\subset \mathbb C^{d}$, we introduce a subalgebra $A_{D}(K)$ of $A(K)$, which allows us to obtain Mergelyan type theorems for products of planar compact sets as well as for graphs of functions.

Let $E$ be a Banach lattice on $\mathbb Z$ having order continuous norm. We show that for any function $f = \{f_j\}_{j \in \mathbb Z}$ from the Hardy space $H_\infty (E)$ such that $\delta \leqslant \|f (z)\|_E \leqslant 1$ for all $z$ from…

Using a description of the spectrum of bidual algebra $A^{**}$ of a uniform algebra $A$ we obtain abstract corona theorem for certain uniform algebras. It asserts the density of a specific Gleason part in the spectrum of an $H^\infty$ --…

Let $A(K)$ be the algebra of continuous functions on a compact set $K\subset\mathbb C$ which are analytic on the interior of $K$, and $R(K)$ the closure (with the uniform convergence on $K$) of the functions that are analytic on a…

In this paper which is the first of a series of papers on smooth structures, the concepts of C-structures and smooth structures are introduced and studied. The notion of smooth structure on semi-integral domains is given. It is shown that…

We investigate the completeness and completions of the normed algebras $D^{(1)}(X)$ for perfect, compact plane sets $X$. In particular, we construct a radially self-absorbing, compact plane set $X$ such that the normed algebra $D^{(1)}(X)$…

Let $X$ denote a Hilbert space. Given a compact subset $K$ of $X$ and two continuous functions $f:K\to\mathbb{R}$, $G:K\to X$, we show that a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a convex function $F\in C^1(X)$ such that…

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…

We present necessary and sufficient conditions on planar compacta $K$ and continuous functions $f$ on $K$ in order that $f$ generates the algebras $P(K), R(K), A(K)$ or $C(K)$. We also unveil quite surprisingly simple examples of…

The corona problem was motivated by the question of the density of the open unit disk D in the maximal ideal space of the algebra, H1(D), of bounded holomorphic functions on D. In this note we study relationships of the problem with…

We prove a compact embedding theorem in a class of spaces of piecewise H1 functions subordinated to a class of shape regular, but not necessarily quasi-uniform triangulations of a polygonal domain. This result generalizes the…

A recent refinement of Ker\'ekj\'art\'o's Theorem has shown that in $\mathbb R$ and $\mathbb R^2$ all $\mathcal C^l$-solutions of the functional equation $f^n =\textrm{Id}$ are $\mathcal C^l$-linearizable, where $l\in \{0,1,\dots \infty\}$.…

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 space of continuous…

We obtain estimates in the corona theorem for the algebra of analytic functions in the unit disc whose nth derivative is bounded, and its subalgebras defined by the boundary continuity of the nth derivative. The corona theorem for such…
