In an isomorphic copy of the ring of symmetric polynomials we study some families of polynomials which are indexed by rational weight vectors. These families include well known symmetric polynomials, such as the elementary, homogeneous, and…
In parameter slices of quadratic rational functions, we identify arcs represented by matings of quadratic polynomials. These arcs are on the boundaries of hyperbolic components.
We study polynomials with no zeros on the unit ball in complex Euclidean space with a view toward characterizing when a rational function is bounded on the ball. We give a complete local description of such polynomials in two variables near…
Let $f \in Q(z)$ be a polynomial or rational function of degree 2. A special case of Morton and Silverman's Dynamical Uniform Boundedness Conjecture states that the number of rational preperiodic points of $f$ is bounded above by an…
In this paper, we give an algorithm for finding general rational solutions of a given first-order ODE with parametric coefficients that occur rationally. We present an analysis, complete modulo Hilbert's irreducibility problem, of the…
In a recent paper, Adamchik [V.S. Adamchik, On the Hurwitz function for rational arguments, Appl. Math. Comp. 187 (2007) 3--12] expressed in a closed form symbolic derivatives of four functions belonging to the class of functions whose…
The hypergeometric function method naturally provides the analytic expressions of scalar integrals from concerned Feynman diagrams in some connected regions of independent kinematic variables, also presents the systems of homogeneous linear…
Four families of special functions, depending on n variables, are studied. We call them symmetric and antisymmetric multivariate sine and cosine functions. They are given as determinants or antideterminants of matrices, whose matrix…
This paper is about a family of symmetric rational functions that form a one-parameter generalization of the classical Hall-Littlewood polynomials. We introduce two sets of (skew and non-skew) functions that are akin to P and Q…
This paper treats 6j symbols or their orthonormal forms as a function of two variables spanning a square manifold which we call the "screen". We show that this approach gives important and interesting insight. This two dimensional…
We demonstrate the existence of a piecewise linear homeomorphism $f$ of $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ which maps rationals to rationals, whose slopes are powers of $\frac{2}{3}$, and whose rotation number is $\sqrt{2}-1$. This is achieved by…

We present two algorithms for computing hypergeometric solutions of second order linear differential operators with rational function coefficients. Our first algorithm searches for solutions of the form \[ \exp(\int r \,…
It is well known that the real and imaginary parts of any holomorphic function are harmonic functions of two variables. In this paper we generalize this property to finite-dimensional commutative algebras. We prove that if some basis of a…
Given a rational function of degree at least two defined over a number field k, we study the cardinality of the set of rational iterated preimages. We prove bounds for the cardinality of this set as the rational function varies in certain…
J.Ritt has investigated the structure of complex polynomials with respect to superposition. In particular, he listed all the polynomials admitting different double decompositions into indecomposable polynomials. The analogues of Ritt theory…
Regular logic can be regarded as the internal language of regular categories, but the logic itself is generally not given a categorical treatment. In this paper, we understand the syntax and proof rules of regular logic in terms of the free…
Suppose that $h$ and $g$ belong to the algebra $\B$ generated by the rational functions and an entire function $f$ of finite order on ${\Bbb C}^n$ and that $h/g$ has algebraic polar variety. We show that either $h/g\in\B$ or $f=q_1e^p+q_2$,…
The sum of all ladder and rainbow diagrams in $\phi^3$ theory near 6 dimensions leads to self-consistent higher order differential equations in coordinate space which are not particularly simple for arbitrary dimension D. We have now…
We show that the coefficients of rational 2-functions are contained in an abelian number field. More precisely, we show that the poles of such functions are poles of order one and given by roots of unity and rational residue.
