The real and complex zeros of some special entire functions such as Wright, hyper-Bessel, and a special case of generalized hypergeometric functions are studied by using some classical results of Laguerre, Obreschkhoff, P\'olya and Runckel.…

The following theorem is proven: Both real and imaginary parts of the function F(s) defined as F(s)=zeta(s)*Gamma(s/2)*pi**(-s/2)=xi(s)/(s*(s-1)), and whose zeroes exactly coincide with the non-trivial zeroes of the Riemann zeta-function,…

We derive completeness criteria for sequences of functions of the form $% f(x\lambda_{n})$, where $\lambda_{n}$ is the $nth$ zero of a suitably chosen entire function. Using these criteria, we construct systems of nonorthogonal…

In the paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for a function involving a ratio of gamma functions to be logarithmically completely monotonic. This extends and generalizes the main result in [\emph{Inequalities and…

In this paper, we prove that solutions to the equation $(-\Delta)^s u=0$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$, for $s\in (0,1)$, are affine. This will allow us to prove uniqueness of the Riesz potential $|x|^{2s-N}$ in Lebesgue spaces.

Suppose $\Lambda$ is a discrete infinite set of nonnegative real numbers. We say that $ {\Lambda}$ is of type 1 if the series $s(x)=\sum_{\lambda\in\Lambda}f(x+\lambda)$ satisfies a zero-one law. This means that for any non-negative…

In this paper, we first discuss the linear independence of the complete elliptic integrals of the first, second and third kinds $K(k)$, $E(k)$ and $\Pi(\mu(k),k)$, and then obtain an upper bound for the number of zeros of a function of the…

We prove that the period function of the center at the origin of the $\mathbb{Z}_k$-equivariant differential equation $\dot{z}=iz+a(z\overline{z})^nz^{k+1}, a\ne0,$ is monotonous decreasing for all $n$ and $k$ positive integers, solving a…

An important tool to quantify the likeness of two probability measures are f-divergences, which have seen widespread application in statistics and information theory. An example is the total variation, which plays an exceptional role among…

Let $H$ be a real Hilbert space and $\Phi:H\to H$ be a $C^1$ operator with Lipschitzian derivative and closed range. We prove that $\Phi^{-1}(0)\neq \emptyset$ if and only if, for each $\epsilon>0$, there exist a convex set $X\subset H$ and…

This paper systematically investigates the analytic properties of the ratio $f(s)/f(1-s) = X(s)$ based on the Davenport-Heilbronn functional equation $f(s) = X(s)f(1-s)$. We propose a novel method to analyze the distribution of non-trivial…

We show that for any $k$-times continuously differentiable function $f:[a,\infty)\longrightarrow{\mathbb R}$, any integer $q\ge 0$ and any $\alpha>1$ the inequality $$\liminf_{x\to\infty} \frac{x^k \cdot\log x\cdot \log_2 x\cdot\dots\cdot…

In this paper, we investigate zeros of difference polynomials of the form $f(z)^nH(z, f)-s(z)$, where $f(z)$ is a meromorphic function, $H(z, f)$ is a difference polynomial of $f(z)$ and $s(z)$ is a small function. We first obtain some…

A real valued function $f$ defined on a real open interval $I$ is called $\Phi$-monotone if, for all $x,y\in I$ with $x\leq y$ it satisfies $$ f(x)\leq f(y)+\Phi(y-x), $$ where $\Phi:[0,\ell(I)[\,\to\mathbb{R}_+$ is a given nonnegative…
