This study focuses on Concave mappings, a class of univalent functions that exhibit a unique property: they map the unit disk onto a domain whose complement is convex. The main objective of this work is to characterize these mappings in…

Let ``Faulhaber's formula'' refer to an expression for the sum of powers of integers written with terms in n(n+1)/2. Initially, the author used Faulhaber's formula to explain why odd Bernoulli numbers are equal to zero. Next, Cereceda gave…

We study bounds for the backward shift operator $f \mapsto (f(z)-f(0))/z$ and the related operator $f \mapsto f - f(0)$ on Hardy and Bergman spaces of analytic and harmonic functions. If $u$ is a real valued harmonic function, we also find…

Recently, Voros has found the sums involving certain powers of z-1/2, which, when taken over Riemann xi-function zeroes /rho, must be positive for the Riemann hypothesis holds true and vice versa. Here we analyze these sums, write them as…

In this paper, we study the family ${\mathcal C}_{H}^0$ of sense-preserving complex-valued harmonic functions $f$ that are normalized close-to-convex functions on the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ with $f_{\bar{z}}(0)=0$. We derive a…

In this paper, we establish transcendental entire function $A(z)$ and polynomial $B(z)$ such that the differential equation $f''+A(z)f'+B(z)f=0$, has all non-trivial solution of infinite order. We use the notion of \emph{critical rays} of…

The paper gives the following characterization of the disc algebra in terms of the argument principle: A continuous function f on the unit circle T extends holomorphically through the unit disc if and only if for each polynomial P such that…

This is a summation of research done in the author's second and third year of undergraduate mathematics at The University of Toronto. As the previous details were largely scattered and disorganized; the author decided to rewrite the…

Behavior of solutions of $f''+Af=0$ is discussed under the assumption that $A$ is analytic in $\mathbb{D}$ and $\sup_{z\in\mathbb{D}}(1-|z|^2)^2|A(z)|<\infty$, where $\mathbb{D}$ is the unit disc of the complex plane. As a main result it is…

The classical Mason-Stothers theorem deals with nontrivial polynomial solutions to the equation $a+b=c$. It provides a lower bound on the number of distinct zeros of the polynomial $abc$ in terms of the degrees of $a$, $b$ and $c$. We…

We show that a finite set of integers $A \subseteq \mathbb{Z}$ with $|A+A| \le K |A|$ contains a large piece $X \subseteq A$ with Fre\u{i}man dimension $O(\log K)$, where large means $|A|/|X| \ll \exp(O(\log^2 K))$. This can be thought of…

Given a domain $\Omega$ in the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$ and a univalent function $q$ defined in an open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ with nice boundary behaviour, Miller and Mocanu studied the class of admissible functions $\Psi(\Omega,q)$ so…

In the present article, we discuss about the estimate of the pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norms for locally univalent harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\, |z|<1\}$. In this regard, we…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the class of all analytic functions $f$ defined in the open unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ with the normalization $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$ and let $P'$ be the class of functions $f\in\mathcal{A}$ such that ${\rm{Re}}\,f'(z)>0$,…

In the past several subclasses of starlike functions are defined involving real part and modulus of certain expressions of functions under study, combined by way of an inequality. In the similar fashion, we introduce a new class…

We prove a Jensen-disc type theorem for polynomials $p\in\mathbb{R}[z]$ having all their zeros in a sector of the complex plane. This result is then used to prove the existence of a collection of linear operators…

Let ${\mathcal A}$ denote the family of all functions $f$ analytic in the unit disk $\ID$ and satisfying the normalization $f(0)=0= f'(0)-1$. Let $\mathcal{S}$ denote the subclass of ${\mathcal A}$ consisting of univalent functions in…

Solutions of the differential equation $f''+Af=0$ are considered assuming that $A$ is analytic in the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ and satisfies \begin{equation} \label{eq:dag} \sup_{z\in\mathbb{D}} \, |A(z)| (1-|z|^2)^2 \log\frac{e}{1-|z|} <…

Let $g$ be a entire function of exponential type on the complex plane $\mathbb C$, $Z=\{ z_k\}_{k=1,2,\dots}$ be a sequence of points in $\mathbb C$. We give a criterion for the existence of an entire function $f\neq 0$ of exponential type…

For $f$ analytic and close to convex in $D=\{z: |z|< 1\}$, we give sharp estimates for the logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_{n}$ of $f$ defined by $\log \dfrac{f(z)}{z}=2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \gamma_{n}z^{n}$ when $n=1, 2,3$.
