A class is studied of complex valued functions defined on the unit disk (with a possible exception of a discrete set) with the property that all their Pick matrices have not more than a prescribed number of negative eigenvalues. Functions…

Let $x=(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\in {\rm \bf C}^n$ be a vector of complex variables, denote by $A=(a_{jk})$ a square matrix of size $n\geq 2,$ and let $\varphi\in\mathcal{O}(\Omega)$ be an analytic function defined in a nonempty domain…

This paper concerns analytic free maps. These maps are free analogs of classical analytic functions in several complex variables, and are defined in terms of non-commuting variables amongst which there are no relations - they are free…

Consider the set of scalars $\alpha$ for which the $\alpha$th Hadamard power of any $n\times n$ positive semi-definite (p.s.d.) matrix with non-negative entries is p.s.d. It is known that this set is of the form $\{0, 1, \dots, n-3\}\cup…

We study power series and analyticity in the quaternionic setting. We first consider a function f defined as the sum of a quaternionic power series centered at 0 in its domain of convergence (which is a ball B(0,R) centered at 0). At each…

For each n,N>0 we construct a set of points x_1,...,x_M in D^n with the following property: if f is a rational inner function on D^n of degree strictly less than N and g is an analytic function mapping D^n to D that satisfies g(x_i)=f(x_i)…

Given an arithmetical function $f$, by $f(a, b)$ and $f[a, b]$ we denote the function $f$ evaluated at the greatest common divisor $(a, b)$ of positive integers $a$ and $b$ and evaluated at the least common multiple $[a, b]$ respectively. A…

A promising theory of quaternion-valued functions of one quaternionic variable, now called slice regular functions, has been introduced in 2006. The basic examples of slice regular functions are power series centered at 0 on their balls of…

Regarding quaternions as normal matrices, we first characterize the $2\times 2$ matrix-valued functions, defined on subsets of quaternions, whose values are quaternions. Then we investigate the regularity of quaternionic-valued functions,…

We extend the study of the Pick class, the set of complex analytic functions taking the upper half plane into itself, to the noncommutative setting. R. Nevanlinna showed that elements of the Pick class have certain integral representations…

Let $\mathbb{P}_G([0,\infty))$ and $\mathbb{P}_G^{'}([0,\infty))$ be the sets of positive semidefinite and positive definite matrices of order $n$, respectively, with nonnegative entries, where some positions of zero entries are restricted…

Let $f$ be a complex-valued harmonic mapping defined in the unit disk $\mathbb D$. We introduce the following notion: we say that $f$ is a Bloch-type function if its Jacobian satisfies $$ \sup_{z\in\mathbb D}(1-|z|^2)\sqrt{|J_f(z)|}<\infty.…

For a rational function of several variables with nonnegative imaginary part on the upper poly-half-plane, the matrix representations are obtained.

A map $f$ from the quaternion skew field $H$ to itself, can also be thought as a transformation $f:R^4 \to R^4$. In this manuscript, the Jacobian $J(f)$ of $f$ is computed, in the case where $f$ is a quaternion polynomial. As a consequence,…

Let $\Omega$ be a complex lattice which does not have complex multiplication and $\wp=\wp_\Omega$ the Weierstrass $\wp$-function associated to it. Let $D\subseteq\mathbb{C}$ be a disc and $I\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ be a bounded closed interval…

We first show that a continuous function f is nonnegative on a closed set $K\subseteq R^n$ if and only if (countably many) moment matrices of some signed measure $d\nu =fd\mu$ with support equal to K, are all positive semidefinite (if $K$…
