We study higher order linear differential equation $y^{(k)}+A_1(z)y=0$ with $k\geq2$, where $A_1=A+h$, $A$ is a transcendental entire function of finite order with $\frac{1}{2}\leq \mu(A)<1$ and $h\neq0$ is an entire function with…

A Bank--Laine function $E$ is written as $E=f_1f_2$ for two normalized solutions $f_1$ and $f_2$ of the second order differential equation $f''+Af=0$, where $A$ is an entire function. In this paper, we first complete the construction of…

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 a second order linear differential equation $f''+A(z)f'+B(z)f=0$, with $ A(z)$ and $B(z)$ being transcendental entire functions under some restriction, we have established that all non-trivial solutions are of infinite order. In…

We prove that there exists an entire function for which every complex number is an asymptotic value and whose growth is arbitrarily slow subject only to the necessary condition that the function is of infinite order.

$CMO$ functions are completely multiplicative functions $f$ for which $\sum_{n=1}^\infty f(n)$ $=0$. These functions were first introduced and studied by Kahane and Sa\"{i}as [5]. The main purpose of this paper is to generalise such…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $\mathbb{C}$ such that $\partial \Omega$ does not contain isolated points. Let $R(\Omega)$ be the space of uniform limits on $\overline{\Omega}$ of rational functions with poles off $\overline{\Omega}$,…

Let A be a set of integers. For every integer n, let r_{A,h}(n) denote the number of representations of n in the form n = a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_h, where a_1, a_2,...,a_h are in A and a_1 \leq a_2 \leq ... \leq a_h. The function r_{A,h}: Z \to…

Baker's conjecture states that a transcendental entire function of order less than $1/2$ has no unbounded Fatou components. It is known that, for such functions, there are no unbounded periodic Fatou components and so it remains to show…

In this work we study the following classical still challenging Calculus problem: {\it If $f:(0,\infty)\to\mathbb{R}$ is a continuous function, for which the sequence $\{f(nx)\}$ tends to zero, for every positive $x$, as $n$ tends to…

A result is proved concerning meromorphic functions of finite order in the plane such that all but finitely many zeros of the second derivative are zeros of the first derivative.

This work advances knowledge of the threshold of prox-boundedness of a function; an important concern in the use of proximal point optimization algorithms and in determining the existence of the Moreau envelope of the function. In finite…

We introduce a concept of a quasi proximate order which is a generalization of a proximate order and allows us to study efficiently analytic functions whose order and lower order of growth are different. We prove an existence theorem of a…

The paper studies entire functions of finite order of growth for which a representation of the form $\psi(z) = 1+ O(|z|^{-\mu}), \mu >0,$ as $z\to \infty$, is valid on a fixed ray of the complex plane. The main result is the following.…

We give an example of a convex, finite and lower semicontinuous function whose subdifferential is everywhere empty. This is possible since the function is defined on an incomplete normed space. The function serves as a universal…

In this paper we consider a random entire function of the form $f(z,\omega )=\sum\nolimits_{n=0}^{+\infty}\xi_n(\omega )a_nz^n,$ where $\xi_n(\omega )$ are independent standard\break complex gaussian random variables and $a_n\in\mathbb{C}$…

Let \begin{equation*} A_{q}^{(\alpha)}(a;z) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{(a;q)_{k} q^{\alpha k^2} z^k} {(q;q)_{k}}, \end{equation*} where $\alpha >0,~0<q<1.$ In a paper of Ruiming Zhang, he asked under what conditions the zeros of the entire…

Absolute continuity implies uniform continuity, but generally not vice versa. In this short note, we present one sufficient condition for a uniformly continuous function to be absolutely continuous, which is the following theorem: For a…

Let $f(z)=e^{-bz^2}f_1(z)$ where $b \geq 0$ and $f_1(z)$ is a real entire function of genus 0 or 1. We give a necessary and sufficient condition in terms of a sequence of inequalities for all of the zeros of $f(z)$ to be real. These…

For functions $f(z)=z^p+a_{n+1}z^{p+1}+...$ defined on the open unit disk, the condition $\Re (f'(z)/z^{p-1})>0$ is sufficient for close-to-convexity of $f$. By making use of this result, several sufficient conditions for close-to-convexity…
