Given an increasing process $(A_t)_{t\geq 0}$, we characterize the right-continuous non-decreasing functions $f: \R_+\to \R_+$ that map $A$ to a pure-jump process. As an example of application, we show for instance that functions with…

Let $f$ be a real function defined on the interval $[0,1]$ which is constant on $(a,b)\subset [0,1]$, and let $B_nf$ be its associated $n$th Bernstein polynomial. We prove that, for any $x\in (a,b)$, $|B_nf(x)-f(x)|$ converges to $0$ as…

A classical result states that every lower bounded superharmonic function on $\Bbb R^2$ is constant. In this paper the following (stronger) one-circle version is proven. If $f\colon \Bbb R^2\to (-\infty,\infty]$ is lower semicontinuous,…
