In this paper we show that if an entire function $f(z_1,z_2)$ of two (or more) complex variables verifies $\norm{f(z_1,z_2)}\leq K(\norm{P(z_1,z_2)})$, where $P(z_1,z_2)$ is a polynomial that is not a power in $\CC[[z_1,z_2]]$, and $K$ is…

A method for finding the general solution to the partial differential equations: \ $F(u_x,u_y)=0$; \ $F(f(x)\:u_x,u_y)=0$ \ (or \ $F(u_x,h(y)\:u_y)=0$) \ is presented, founded on a Legendre like transformation and a theorem for Pfaffian…

By discussing several examples, the theory of generalized functional models is shown to be very natural for modeling some situations of reasoning under uncertainty. A generalized functional model is a pair (f, P) where f is a function…

It is shown that any function $G(q_{i}, p_{i}, t)$, defined on the extended phase space, defines a one-parameter group of canonical transformations which act on any function $f(q_{i}, t)$, in such a way that if $G$ is a constant of motion…

Functional equations satisfied by additive functions have a special interest not only in the theory of functional equations, but also in the theory of (commutative) algebra because the fundamental notions such as derivations and…

The $H$-join of a family of graphs $\mathcal{G}=\{G_1, \dots, G_p\}$, also called the generalized composition, $H[G_1, \dots, G_p]$, where all graphs are undirected, simple and finite, is the graph obtained by replacing each vertex $i$ of…

In this paper we find the solutions of the functional equation $$f(xy) = g(x)h(y) + \sum_{j=1}^n g_j(x)h_j(y), \;x,y \in M,$$ where $M$ is a monoid, $n\geq 2$, and $g_j$ (for $j=1,...,n$) are linear combinations of at least $2$ distinct…

Fix non-zero reals $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_n$ with $n\ge 2$ and let $K$ be a non-empty open connected set in a topological vector space such that $\sum_{i\le n}\alpha_iK\subseteq K$ (which holds, in particular, if $K$ is an open convex cone…

In this paper, we are going to describe the solutions of the functional equation $$ \varphi\Big(\frac{x+y}{2}\Big)(f(x)+f(y))=\varphi(x)f(x)+\varphi(y)f(y) $$ concerning the unknown functions $\varphi$ and $f$ defined on an open interval.…

Our main result is that we describe the solutions $g,f:S\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ of the functional equation \[g(x\sigma(y))=g(x)g(y)-f(x)f(y)+\alpha f(x\sigma(y)),\quad x,y\in S,\] where $S$ is a semigroup, $\alpha \in \mathbb{C}$ is a fixed…

The paper deals with the problem of approximating the functions of several variables by branched continued fractions, in particular, multidimensional A- and J-fractions with independent variables. A generalization of Gragg's algorithm is…

Given graphs $X$ and $Y$, we define two conic feasibility programs which we show have a solution over the completely positive cone if and only if there exists a homomorphism from $X$ to $Y$. By varying the cone, we obtain similar…

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V$ and let $g, f : V\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^+$ be two functions such that $g\le f$. We say that $G$ has all $(g, f )$-factors if $G$ has an $h$-factor for every $h: V\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^+$ such that…

We consider certain subfamilies, of the family of univalent functions in the open unit disk, defined by means of sufficient coefficient conditions for univalency. This article is devoted to studying the problem of the well-known conjecture…

In many regular cases, there exists a (properly defined) limit of iterations of a function in several real variables, and this limit satisfies the functional equation (1-z)f(x)=f(f(xz)(1-z)/z); here z is a scalar and x is a vector. This is…

A generalization of the Heisenberg algebra has been recently constructed. This generalized algebra has a characteristic function which depends on one of its generators. When this function is linear, $qJ_0+s$, it is possible to construct a…

Let V be an infinite matrix with rows and columns indexed by the positive integers, and entries in a field F. Suppose that v_{i,j} only depends on i-j and is 0 for |i-j| large. Then V^n is defined for all n, and one has a "generating…
