Entire functions in one complex variable are extremely relevant in several areas ranging from the study of convolution equations to special functions. An analog of entire functions in the quaternionic setting can be defined in the slice…
We characterize pairs of rational functions $A$, $B$ such that $A$ is semiconjugate to $B$, and $B$ is semiconjugate to $A$.
We study rational curves on algebraic varieties, especially on normal affine varieties endowed with a $\C^*$-action. For varieties with an isolated singularity, we show that the presence of sufficiently many rational curves outside the…
A rational function is the ratio of two complex polynomials in one variable without common roots. Its degree is the maximum of the degrees of the numerator and the denominator. Rational functions belong to the same class if one turns into…
We strengthen certain known results saying that separately regular functions are rational and separately Nash functions are semialgebraic. The approach presented here unifies and highlights the similarities between the two problems.
Jordan analytic curves which are invariant under rational functions are studied
Over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, there exist rational functions with only one critical point. We give an elementary characterization of these functions in terms of their continued fraction expansions. Then we…
A rational function on a real algebraic curve $C$ is called separating if it takes real values only at real points. Such a function defines a covering $\Bbb R C\to\Bbb{RP}^1$. Let $A_1,\dots,A_n$ be connected components of $C$. In a recent…
The aim of this work is to define a continuous functional calculus in quaternionic Hilbert spaces, starting from basic issues regarding the notion of spherical spectrum of a normal operator. As properties of the spherical spectrum suggest,…
We study self-morphisms of smooth real projective algebraic curves that have only real periodic points. In the case of the projective line we provide a convenient characterization of such morphisms. We derive a semialgebraic description of…
This paper is the first of a series dealing with c-holomorphic functions defined on algebraic sets and having algebraic graphs. These functions may be seen as the complex counterpart of the recently introduced \textit{regulous} functions.…
A natural connection between rational functions of several real or complex variables, and subspace collections is explored. A new class of function, superfunctions, are introduced which are the counterpart to functions at the level of…
In [14,26], new approximation classes of self-referential functions are introduced as fractal versions of the classes of polynomials and rational functions. As a sequel, in the present article, we define a new approximation class consisting…
In this paper we give several conditions implying the irreducibility of the algebraic curve P(x)-Q(y)=0, where P,Q are rational functions. We also apply the results obtained to the functional equations P(f)=Q(g) and P(f)=cP(g), where c\in…
Bicritical rational functions -- those with precisely two critical points -- include the well-studied families of unicritical polynomials and quadratic rational functions. In this article we lay out general foundations for studying…
We study unirational algebraic varieties and the fields of rational functions on them. We show that after adding a finite number of variables some of these fields admit an infinitely transitive model. The latter is an algebraic variety with…
We carry out an arithmetical study of analytic functions $f: [0,1] \to [0,1]$ that by restriction induce a bijection $\mathbb{Q} \cap [0,1] \to \mathbb{Q} \cap [0,1]$. The existence of such functions shows that, unless $f(x)$ has some…
A novel basis of discrete analytic polynomials on a rhombic lattice is introduced and the associated convolution product is studied. A class of discrete analytic functions that are rational with respect to this product is also described.
A function $f$ is arc-smooth if the composite $f\circ c$ with every smooth curve $c$ in its domain of definition is smooth. On open sets in smooth manifolds the arc-smooth functions are precisely the smooth functions by a classical theorem…
Let $a, Q\in\Q$ be given and consider the set $\cal{G}(a, Q)=\{aQ^{i}:\;i\in\N\}$ of terms of geometric progression with 0th term equal to $a$ and the quotient $Q$. Let $f\in\Q(x, y)$ and $\cal{V}_{f}$ be the set of finite values of $f$. We…
