We explore Mahler numbers originating from functions $f(z)$ that satisfy the functional equation $f(z) = (A(z)f(z^d) + C(z))/B(z)$. A procedure to compute the irrationality exponents of such numbers is developed using continued fractions…

Let ${\mathcal A}$ be the class of functions that are analytic in the unit disc ${\mathbb D}$, normalized such that $f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^\infty a_nz^n$, and let class ${\mathcal U}(\lambda)$, $0<\lambda\le1$, consists of functions…

In this paper we determine the upper bounds of the Hankel determinants of special type $H_{2}(3)(f)$ and $H_{2}(4)(f)$ for the class of univalent functions and for the class $\mathcal{U}$ defined by \[ \mathcal{U}=\left\{ f\in\mathcal{A} :…

We derive new reduction formulas for the incomplete beta function and the Lerch transcendent in terms of elementary functions. As an application, we calculate some new integrals. Also, we use these reduction formulas to test the performance…

In this article, we prove an omega-result for the Hecke eigenvalues $\lambda_F(n)$ of Maass forms $F$ which are Hecke eigenforms in the space of Siegel modular forms of weight $k$, genus two for the Siegel modular group $Sp_2(\Z)$. In…

We present a new method for algebraic independence results in the context of Mahler's method. In particular, our method uses the asymptotic behaviour of a Mahler function $f(z)$ as $z$ goes radially to a root of unity to deduce algebraic…

The study of the Mittag-Leffler function and its various generalizations has become a very popular topic in mathematics and its applications. In the present paper we prove the following estimate for the $q$-Mittag-Leffler function:…

Let $f$ be analytic in the unit disk $\mathbb D$ and normalized so that $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$. In this paper, we give upper bounds of the Hankel determinant of second order for the classes of starlike functions of order $\alpha$,…

We study the rationality of the Artin-Mazur zeta function of a dynamical system defined by a polynomial self-map of A^1(k), where k is the algebraic closure of the finite field F_p. The zeta functions of the maps f(x)=x^m for (p,m)=1 and…

We prove transcendence of the Hecke-Mahler series $\sum_{n=0}^\infty f(\lfloor n\theta+\alpha \rfloor) \beta^{-n}$, where $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ is a non-constant polynomial $\alpha$ is a real number, $\theta$ is an irrational real…

To decide upon the arithmetic nature of some numbers may be a non-trivial problem. Some cases are well know, for example exp(1) and W(1), where W is the Lambert function, are transcendental numbers. The Tsallis q-exponential, e_q (z), and…

We initiate the study of property testing of submodularity on the boolean hypercube. Submodular functions come up in a variety of applications in combinatorial optimization. For a vast range of algorithms, the existence of an oracle to a…

Let f be analytic in D={z:|z|<1} with f(0)=0 and f'(0)=1. We give sharp bounds for the second Hankel determinant of f, when f is starlike of order alpha in D.

We show that $T_p(z)=\prod_{j=1}^{\infty}(1-z^{p^{j}})^{-1/p^{j}}$ is transcendental over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}(z)$, and establish the transcendence of its values at nonzero algebraic points inside the unit disk. Furthermore, we obtain an…

In 1994, Becker conjectured that if $F(z)$ is a $k$-regular power series, then there exists a $k$-regular rational function $R(z)$ such that $F(z)/R(z)$ satisfies a Mahler-type functional equation with polynomial coefficients where the…

We give a new proof of Fatou's theorem: {\em if an algebraic function has a power series expansion with bounded integer coefficients, then it must be a rational function.} This result is applied to show that for any non--trivial completely…

We prove the existence of transcendental entire functions $f$ having a property studied by Mahler, namely that $f(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})\subseteq \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ and $f^{-1}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})\subseteq \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, and…

We provide a general result for the algebraic independence of Mahler functions by a new method based on asymptotic analysis. As a consequence of our method, these results hold not only over $\mathbb{C}(z)$, but also over…

We introduce and discuss a variant of Schanuel conjecture in the framework of the Carlitz exponential function over Tate algebras and allied functions. Another purpose of the present paper is to widen the horizons of possible investigations…

The applications of the recent results obtained in the theory of generalized Lambert functions, to the mean field theory of ferromagnetism are presented. As a consequence, all the predictions of the Weiss theory of ferromagnetism can be…
