Let $s_0,s_1,\dots,s_{m-1}$ be complex numbers and $r_0,\dots,r_{m-1}$ rational integers in the range $0\le r_j\le m-1$. Our first goal is to prove that if an entire function $f$ of sufficiently small exponential type satisfies…

Marx and Strohh\"acker showed around in 1933 that $f(z)/z$ is subordinate to $1/(1-z)$ for a normalized convex function $f$ on the unit disk $|z|<1.$ Brickman, Hallenbeck, MacGregor and Wilken proved in 1973 further that $f(z)/z$ is…

I explain a direct approach to differentiation and integration. Instead of relying on the general notions of real numbers, limits and continuity, we treat functions as the primary objects of our theory, and view differentiation as division…

According to a celebrated result by L\"owner, a real-valued function $f$ is operator monotone if and only if its L\"owner matrix, which is the matrix of divided differences $L_f=(\frac{f(x_i)-f(x_j)}{x_i-x_j})_{i,j=1}^N$, is positive…

Scaling-invariant functions preserve the order of points when the points are scaled by the same positive scalar (with respect to a unique reference point). Composites of strictly monotonic functions with positively homogeneous functions are…

Hofstadter's G function is recursively defined via $G(0)=0$ and then $G(n)=n-G(G(n-1))$. Following Hofstadter, we vary the number $k$ of nested recursive calls in this equation and obtain a family of functions $(F\_k)$. Here we establish…

If $f$ is an entire function and $a$ is a complex number, $a$ is said to be an asymptotic value of $f$ if there exists a path $\gamma$ from $0$ to infinity such that $f(z) - a$ tends to $0$ as $z$ tends to infinity along $\gamma$. The…

We introduce and study the approximation properties of $g$-polynomials, defined as linear combinations of iterated Stieltjes integrals of a constant function. Focusing on the case where the derivator $g$ has finitely many discontinuities,…

We investigate conditions for logarithmic complete monotonicity of product ratios of gamma and q-gamma functions whose arguments are linear functions of the variable. We give necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of nonnegativity of…

We show that Stieltjes moment sequences are infinitely log-convex, which parallels a famous result that (finite) P\'olya frequency sequences are infinitely log-concave. We introduce the concept of $q$-Stieltjes moment sequences of…

We construct a single explicit entire function $\Xi_c(s)$ of order 1, with all zeros provably on $Re(s) = 1/2$, satisfying a functional equation $\Xi_c(s) = \Xi_c(1-s)$, whose normalized form $Z_c(s) =…

Motivated by the problem of determining the values of $\alpha>0$ for which $f_\alpha(x)=e^\alpha - (1+1/x)^{\alpha x},\ x>0$ is a completely monotonic function, we combine Fourier analysis with complex analysis to find a family…

Let ${\mathcal A}$ be the class of functions analytic in the unit disk ${\mathbb D} := \{ z\in {\mathbb C}:\, |z| < 1 \}$ and normalized such that $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$. In this paper we study the class $\mathcal{U}(\lambda)$,…

This paper introduces and studies a generalization of the $\mathtt{k}$-Bessel function of order $\nu$ given by \[\mathtt{W}^{\mathtt{k}}_{\nu, c}(x):= \sum_{r=0}^\infty \frac{(-c)^r}{\Gamma_{\mathtt{k}}\left( r \mathtt{k}…

The Landau-Selberg-Delange method provides an asymptotic formula for the partial sums of a multiplicative function whose average value on primes is a fixed complex number $v$. The shape of this asymptotic implies that $f$ can get very small…

Let $\psi$ be a function such that $\psi(x) \rightarrow \infty$ as $x \rightarrow \infty.$ Let $\lambda_{f}(n)$ be the $n$-th Hecke eigenvalue of a fixed holomorphic cusp form $f$ for $SL(2,\mathbb{Z}).$ We show that for any real valued…

Let ${\mathbb T}=({\bf T},\leq)$ and ${\mathbb T}_{1}=({\bf T}_{1},\leq_{1})$ be linearly ordered sets and $\mathscr{X}$ be a topological space. The main result of the paper is the following: If function $\boldsymbol{f}(t,x):{\bf…

Let $[a,b]\subset\mathbb{R}$ be a non empty and non singleton closed interval and $P=\{a=x_0<\cdots<x_n=b\}$ is a partition of it. Then $f:I\to\mathbb{R}$ is said to be a function of $r$-bounded variation, if the expression…

In the present paper, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the functions $x^\alpha\bigl\lvert\psi^{(i)}(x+\beta)\bigr\lvert$ and $\alpha\bigl\lvert\psi^{(i)}(x+\beta)\bigr\lvert-x\bigl\lvert\psi^{(i+1)}(x+\beta)\bigr\lvert$…

The problem whether a given pair of functions can be used as the kernels of a generalized fractional derivative and the associated generalized fractional integral is reduced to the problem of existence of a solution to the Sonine equation.…
