Let $\phi(x)=\sum \alpha_n x^n$ be a formal power series with real coefficients, and let $D$ denote differentiation. It is shown that "for every real polynomial $f$ there is a positive integer $m_0$ such that $\phi(D)^mf$ has only real…

In this paper, we discuss the conditions for the function $F_a(z) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{z^k}{(a+1)(a^2+1) \ldots (a^k+1)}, a>1,$ to belong to the Laguerre-P\'olya class, or to have only real zeros.

A general classification of linear differential and finite-difference operators possessing a finite-dimensional invariant subspace with a polynomial basis is given. The main result is that any operator with the above property must have a…

We consider difference operators in $L^2$ on $\R$ of the form $$ L f(s)=p(s)f(s+i)+q(s) f(s)+r(s) f(s-i) ,$$ where $i$ is the imaginary unit. The domain of definiteness are functions holomorphic in a strip with some conditions of decreasing…
