A Boolean function is called read-once over a basis B if it can be expressed by a formula over B where no variable appears more than once. A checking test for a read-once function f over B depending on all its variables is a set of input…
We let $f$ be a half-integral weight modular form of weight $\kappa>4$ on $\Gamma_0(4)$ that is an eigenfunction of all Hecke operators $T_n$, so that $T_nf = \Lambda_f(n)n^{\frac{\kappa-1}{2}}f$. Let $\|f\|$ denote the Petersson norm of…
We prove a new general multiplicity estimate applicable to sets of functions without any assumption on algebraic independence. The multiplicity estimates are commonly used in determining measures of algebraic independence of values of…
In this paper, we give a new proof of a result due to Bezivin that a D-finite Mahler function is necessarily rational. This also gives a new proof of the rational-transcendental dichotomy of Mahler functions due to Nishioka. Using our…
The computation of the Mittag-Leffler (ML) function with matrix arguments, and some applications in fractional calculus, are discussed. In general the evaluation of a scalar function in matrix arguments may require the computation of…
We study the convolution function $$ C[f(x)] := \int_1^x f(y)f({x\over y}) {{\rm d} y\over y} $$ when $f(x)$ is a suitable number-theoretic error term. Asymptotics and upper bounds for $C[f(x)]$ are derived from mean square bounds for…
We relate two different solutions of a Mahler equation; one solution is only defined at certain roots of unity, while the other is an analytic function inside the unit disk.
We study properties of a generalization of the Mahler measure to elements in group rings, in terms of the Lueck-Fuglede-Kadison determinant. Our main focus is the variation of the Mahler measure when the base group is changed. In…
Suppose that $F(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[[x]]$ is a Mahler function and that $1/b$ is in the radius of convergence of $F(x)$. In this paper, we consider the approximation of $F(1/b)$ by algebraic numbers. In particular, we prove that $F(1/b)$ cannot…
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…
In the present work, we propose to investigate the second Hankel determinant inequalities for certain class of analytic and bi-univalent functions. Some interesting applications of the results presented here are also discussed.
This paper studies algebraic and analytic structures associated with the Lerch zeta function, extending the complex variables viewpoint taken in part II. The Lerch transcendent $\Phi(s, z, c)$ is obtained from the Lerch zeta function…
The aim of this paper is to exhibit a method for proving that certain analytic functions are not solutions of algebraic differential equations. The method is based on model-theoretic properties of differential fields and properties of…
Mahler equations arise in a wide range of contexts including the study of finite automata, regular sequences, algebraic series over Fp(z), and periods of Drinfeld modules. Introduced a century ago by K. Mahler to study the transcendence of…
In this paper we construct an entire function of two variables having the property that its values and its partial derivatives of any order at any distinct algebraic points are algebraically independent. Such an entire function is generated…
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a function field of characteristic $p>0$. We recently established the analogue of a theorem of Ku. Nishioka for linear Mahler systems defined over $\mathbb{K}(z)$. This paper is dedicated to proving the following…
After H\"older proved his classical theorem about the Gamma function, there has been a whole bunch of results showing that solutions to linear difference equations tend to be hypertranscendental i.e. they cannot be solution to an algebraic…
In the prequel, a sharp bound in the level aspect on the fourth moment of Hecke--Maa{\ss} forms with an inexplicit (in fact exponential) dependency on the eigenvalue was given. In this paper, we develop further the framework of explicit…
The formal term-by-term differentiation with respect to parameters is demonstrated to be legitimate for the Mittag-Leffler type functions. The justification of differentiation formulas is made by using the concept of the uniform…
Inspired by the work of Bank on the hypertranscendence of $\Gamma e^h$ where $\Gamma$ is the Euler gamma function and $h$ is an entire function, we investigate when a meromorphic function $fe^g$ cannot satisfy any algebraic differential…
