We collect here some known results on the subdifferential of one-homogeneous functionals, which are anisotropic and nonhomogeneous variants of the total variation and establish a new relationship between Lebesgue points of the calibrating…

A normalized analytic function f is shown to be univalent in the open unit disk D if its second coefficient is sufficiently small and relates to its Schwarzian derivative through a certain inequality. New criteria for analytic functions to…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $f:G \to {\mathbb C}$ be a function. For a non-empty finite subset $Y\subset G$, let $I_Y(f)$ denote the average of $f$ over $Y$. Then, $I_G(f)$ is the average of $f$ over $G$. Using the decomposition of $f$…

In deep learning, classification tasks are formalized as optimization problems often solved via the minimization of the cross-entropy. However, recent advancements in the design of objective functions allow the usage of the $f$-divergence…

Motivated by G. H. Hardy's 1939 results \cite{Hardy} on functions orthogonal with respect to their real zeros $\lambda_{n}, n=1,2,... $, we will consider, within the same general conditions imposed by Hardy, functions satisfying an…

Given a subset $\Lambda$ of $\mathbb Z_+:=\{0,1,2,\dots\}$, let $H^\infty(\Lambda)$ denote the space of bounded analytic functions $f$ on the unit disk whose coefficients $\widehat f(k)$ vanish for $k\notin\Lambda$. Assuming that either…

We consider several types of non-existence theorems for functors. For example, there are no nontrivial functors from the category of groups (or the category of pointed sets, or vector spaces) to any small category. Another type of questions…

Given a real number $ \beta > 1$, we study the associated $ (-\beta)$-shift introduced by S. Ito and T. Sadahiro. We compares some aspects of the $(-\beta)$-shift to the $\beta$-shift. When the expansion in base $ -\beta $ of $…

We study polynomial functors of degree 2, called quadratic, with values in the category of abelian groups $Ab$, and whose source category is an arbitrary category $\C$ with null object such that all objects are colimits of copies of a…

We introduce a two-parameter family of discrepancy measures, termed \emph{$(G,f)$-divergences}, obtained by applying a non-decreasing function $G$ to an $f$-divergence $D_f$. Building on Csisz\'ar's formulation of mutual $f$-information, we…

One method of constructing $(a^2+1, 2,a, 1)$-SEDFs (i.e., strong external difference families) in $\mathbb{Z}_{a^2+1}$ makes use of $\alpha$-valuations of complete bipartite graphs $K_{a,a}$. We explore this approach and we provide a…

We prove that if $f:I\subset \Bbb R\to \Bbb R$ is of bounded variation, then the noncentered maximal function $Mf$ is absolutely continuous, and its derivative satisfies the sharp inequality $\|DMf\|_1\le |Df|(I)$. This allows us obtain,…

The classical algebra $\Lambda$ of symmetric functions has a remarkable deformation $\Lambda^*$, which we call the algebra of shifted symmetric functions. In the latter algebra, there is a distinguished basis formed by shifted Schur…

In this paper, we investigate zeros of difference polynomials of the form $f(z)^nH(z, f)-s(z)$, where $f(z)$ is a meromorphic function, $H(z, f)$ is a difference polynomial of $f(z)$ and $s(z)$ is a small function. We first obtain some…

In functional programming, point-free relation calculi have been fruitful for general theories of program construction, but for specific applications pointwise expressions can be more convenient and comprehensible. In imperative…

Motivated by the optimality principles for non-subdifferentiable optimization problems, we introduce new relative subdifferentials and examine some properties for relatively lower semicontinuous functions including $\epsilon$-regular…

For given two harmonic functions $\Phi$ and $\Psi$ with real coefficients in the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$, we study a class of harmonic functions $f(z)=z-\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}A_nz^{n}+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}B_n\bar{z}^n$ $(A_n, B_n \geq 0)$…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the class of analytic functions $f$ on the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C} : |z|<1\}$, normalized by $f(0)=0$ and $f^{\prime}(0)=1$. For $-\pi/2<\alpha<\pi/2$, let $\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}$ be the subclass of…

For $m \geq 2$, let $(\mathbb{Z}_{m+1}^N, |\cdot|)$ denote the group equipped with the so-called $l^0$ metric, \[ |y| = \left| \big( y(1), \dots, y(N) \big) \right| := | \{1 \leq i \leq N : y(i) \neq 0 \} |,\] and define the…

Recent theoretical work on automatic differentiation (autodiff) has focused on characteristics such as correctness and efficiency while assuming that all derivatives are automatically generated by autodiff using program transformation, with…
