In 1984, Kurt Mahler posed the following fundamental question: How well can irrationals in the Cantor set be approximated by rationals in the Cantor set? Towards development of such a theory, we prove a Dirichlet-type theorem for this…
Given two permutable entire functions $f$ and $g,$ we establish vital relationship between escaping sets of entire functions $f, g$ and their composition. We provide some families of transcendental entire functions for which Eremenko's…
We study real numbers defined by multidimensional automatic arrays weighted by multiplicatively independent bases. Let $a_1, \dots, a_r\geq 2$ be integers such that $\log a_1, \dots, \log a_r$ are $\mathbb Q$-linearly independent. Given…
We establish a new formula for the fractional derivative with Mittag-Leffler kernel, in the form of a series of Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals, which brings out more clearly the non-locality of fractional derivatives and is easier…
We generalize a result of Matom\"aki, Radziwi{\l}{\l}, and Tao, by proving an averaged version of a conjecture of Chowla and a conjecture of Elliott regarding correlations of the Liouville function, or more general bounded multiplicative…
The arithmetic nature of values of some functions of a single variable, particularly, $\sin{z}$, $\cos{z}$, $\sinh{z}$, $\cosh{z}$, $e^z$, and $\ln{z}$, is a relevant topic in number theory. For instance, all those functions return…
We present certain Liouville properties of eigenfunctions of second-order elliptic operators with real coefficients, via an approach that is based on stochastic representations of positive solutions, and criticality theory of second-order…
The main purpose of this work is to characterize derivations through functional equations. This work consists of five chapters. In the first one, we summarize the most important notions and results from the theory of functional equations.…
A permutation rational function $f\in \mathbb{F}_q(x)$ is a rational function that induces a bijection on $\mathbb{F}_q$, that is, for all $y\in\mathbb{F}_q$ there exists exactly one $x\in\mathbb{F}_q$ such that $f(x)=y$. Permutation…
We are concerned with some extensions of the classical Liouville theorem for bounded harmonic functions to solutions of more general equations. We deal with entire solutions of periodic and almost periodic parabolic equations including the…
In this note we will present how Euler's investigations on various different subjects lead to certain properties of the Legendre polynomials. More precisely, we will show that the generating function and the difference equation for the…
We show that the $L^1$ norm of an exponential sum of length $X$ and with coefficients equal to the Liouville or M\"{o}bius function is at least $\gg_{\varepsilon} X^{1/4 - \varepsilon}$ for any given $\varepsilon$. For the Liouville…
There are two fundamental problems motivated by Silverman's conversations over the years concerning the nature of the exact values of canonical heights of $f(z)\in\bar{\mathbb{Q}}(z)$ where $f$ has degree $d\geq 2$. The first problem is the…
In 1972, J. S. Lew established a reasonable conjecture regarding an axiomatic characterization for the one-dimensional Riemann-Liouville integral. This conjecture was proved by Cartwright and McMullen in 1978. After that, little further…
The set C of complex-valued continuous functions on [0,\infty) is a ring by the addition and the convolution. It has the quotient field Q(C), by which J. Mikusinski developed his operational calculus. In this paper, we revisit a derivation…
There are no square $L^2$-flat sequences of polynomials of the type $$\frac{1}{\sqrt q}( \epsilon_0 + \epsilon_1z + \epsilon_2z^2 + \cdots + \epsilon_{q-2}z^{q-2} +\epsilon_q z^{q-1}),$$ where for each $j,~~ 0 \leq j\leq q-1,~\epsilon_j =…
We explain how the (shifted) Ratios Conjecture for $L(s,\chi)$ would extend a randomization argument of Harper from a conductor-limited range to an unlimited range of ``beyond square-root cancellation'' for character twists of the Liouville…
We prove the following theorems: 1) The Laurent expansions in epsilon of the Gauss hypergeometric functions 2F1(I_1+a*epsilon, I_2+b*epsilon; I_3+p/q + c epsilon; z), 2F1(I_1+p/q+a*epsilon, I_2+p/q+b*epsilon; I_3+ p/q+c*epsilon;z),…
The objective of the paper is twofold. The first objective is to study the uniqueness problem of meromorphic function $f(z)$ when $f^{(1)}(z)$ shares two distinct finite values $a_1$, $a_2$ and $\infty$ CM with $\Delta_cf(z)$. In this…
The Lambert $W$ function, giving the solutions of a simple transcendental equation, has become a famous function and arises in many applications in combinatorics, physics, or population dyamics just to mention a few. In the last decade it…
