An old conjecture of Sierpinski asserts that for every integer k \ge 2, there is a number m for which the equation \phi(x)=m has exactly k solutions. Here \phi is Euler's totient function. In 1961, Schinzel deduced this conjecture from his…

A theorem of A. and C. R\'enyi on periodic entire functions states that an entire function $f(z) $ must be periodic if $ P(f(z)) $ is periodic, where $ P(z) $ is a non-constant polynomial. By extending this theorem, we can answer some open…

In 1958, Helson and Lowdenslager extended the theory of analytic functions to a general class of groups with ordered duals. In this context, analytic functions on such a group $G$ are defined as the integrable functions whose Fourier…

For analytic functions f(z) in the open unit disk U with f(0)=f'(0)-1=0, P. T. Mocanu (Mathematica (Cluj), 11(34) (1969)) have considered Mocanu functions. The object of the present paper is to discuss some sufficient problems for f(z) to…

It is a classical result of Mahler that for any rational number $\alpha$ > 1 which is not an integer and any real 0 < c < 1, the set of positive integers n such that $\alpha$ n < c n is necessarily finite. Here for any real x, x denotes the…

Siegel defined zeta functions associated with indefinite quadratic forms, and proved their analytic properties such as analytic continuations and functional equations. Coefficients of these zeta functions are called measures of…

In this paper, we establish transcendental entire function $A(z)$ and polynomial $B(z)$ such that the differential equation $f''+A(z)f'+B(z)f=0$, has all non-trivial solution of infinite order. We use the notion of \emph{critical rays} of…

Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function, and let $U,V\subset\mathbb{C}$ be disjoint simply-connected domains. Must one of $f^{-1}(U)$ and $f^{-1}(V)$ be disconnected? In 1970, Baker implicitly gave a positive answer to this question, in…

In 1987, C. Sabbah proved the existence of Bernstein-Sato polynomials associated with several analytic functions. The purpose of this article is to give a more elementary and constructive proof of the result of C. Sabbah based on the notion…

In 1964, Paul Erd\H{o}s published a paper settling a question about function spaces that he had seen in a problem book. Erd\H{o}s proved that the answer was yes if and only if the continuum hypothesis was false: an innocent-looking question…

Assuming Schanuel's conjecture, we prove that any polynomial exponential equation in one variable must have a solution that is transcendental over a given finitely generated field. With the help of some recent results in Diophantine…

We show that the existence of a Pi^{1}_{N}-indescribable cardinal over the Zermelo-Fraenkel's set theory ZF is proof-theoretically reducible to iterations of Mostowski collapsings and lower Mahlo operations. Furthermore we describe a…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the set of all analytic functions $f$ in the unit disk $\ID=\{z:\,|z|<1\}$ of the form $f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_nz^n.$ Let $\mathcal{U}$ denote the set of all $f\in \mathcal{A}$, $f(z)/z\neq 0$ and satisfying…

A generalized family of transcendental (non-polynomial entire) functions is constructed, where the Hausdorff dimension and the packing dimension of the Julia sets are equal to one. Further, there exist multiply connected wandering domains,…

If a is a point in the domain of convergence of a planar power series f in a single variable x one con expand f into a planar power series in the variable (x-a). One arrives at the notion of planar analytic functions on any domain D in the…

In this expository paper aimed at a general mathematical audience, we discuss how to combine certain classic theorems of set-theoretic inner model theory and effective descriptive set theory with work on Hilbert's tenth problem and…

There have been, over the last 8 years, a number of far reaching extensions of the famous original F. and M. Riesz's uniqueness theorem that states that if a bounded analytic function in the unit disc of the complex plane $\Bbb C$ has the…

We prove that there exists a countable family of continuous real functions whose graphs together with their inverses cover an uncountable square, i.e. a set of the form $X\times X$, where $X$ is an uncountable subset of the real line. This…

Transcendental functions, such as exponentials and logarithms, appear in a broad array of computational domains: from simulations in curvilinear coordinates, to interpolation, to machine learning. Unfortunately they are typically expensive…

If $\alpha$ is a non-zero algebraic number, we let $m(\alpha)$ denote the Mahler measure of the minimal polynomial of $\alpha$ over $\mathbb Z$. A series of articles by Dubickas and Smyth, and later by the author, develop a modified version…
