Let $\beta>1$ be fixed. We consider the $(\frak{b, d})$ numeration system, where the base ${\frak b}=(b_k)_{k\geq 0}$ is a sequence of positive real numbers satisfying $\lim_{k\rightarrow \infty}b_{k+1}/b_k=\beta$, and the set of digits…
In this article, we characterize completely alternating functions on an abelian semigroup $S$ in terms of completely monotone functions on the product semigroup $S\times \mathbb Z_+$. We also discuss completely alternating sequences induced…
Let $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in \mathbb{C}: |z|<1\}$ be the unit disk. For $0<\alpha <1$, let $f_{\alpha}(z)=z/(1-z^\alpha)$ for $z \in \mathbb{D}$. We consider the class $\mathcal{F}$ of analytic functions $f_{\alpha}$ which satisfy $\Re…
In this paper we study the right differentiability of a parametric infimum function over a parametric set defined by equality constraints. We present a new theorem with sufficient conditions for the right differentiability with respect to…
In this paper, we introduce a family of analytic functions given by $$\psi_{A,B}(z):= \dfrac{1}{A-B}\log{\dfrac{1+Az}{1+Bz}},$$ which maps univalently the unit disk onto either elliptical or strip domains, where either $A=-B=\alpha$ or…
This paper develops a framework for fitting functions with domains in the Euclidean space, when data are sparse but a slow variation allows for a useful fit. We measure the variation by Lipschitz Bound (LB). Functions which admit smaller LB…
Indicator functions mentioned in the title are constructed on an arbitrary nondiscrete locally compact Abelian group of finite dimension. Moreover, they can be obtained by small perturbation from any indicator function fixed beforehand. In…
We study differential-difference equation of the form $t_{x}(n+1)=f(t(n),t(n+1),t_x(n))$ with unknown $t=t(n,x)$ depending on $x$, $n$. The equation is called Darboux integrable, if there exist functions $F$ (called an $x$-integral) and $I$…
We develop a family of stabilized backward differentiation formula (sBDF) schemes of orders one through four for semilinear parabolic equations. The proposed methods are designed to achieve three properties that are rarely available…
The following problem has been known since the 80s. Let $\Gamma$ be an Abelian group of order $m$ (denoted $|\Gamma|=m$), and let $t$ and $\{m_i\}_{i=1}^{t}$, be positive integers such that $\sum_{i=1}^t m_i=m-1$. Determine when…
A Bank--Laine function $E$ is written as $E=f_1f_2$ for two normalized solutions $f_1$ and $f_2$ of the second order differential equation $f''+Af=0$, where $A$ is an entire function. In this paper, we first complete the construction of…
Boolean functions with good cryptographic criteria when restricted to the set of vectors with constant Hamming weight play an important role in the recent FLIP stream cipher. In this paper, we propose a large class of weightwise perfectly…
In this paper, we establish a simple criterion for two $L$-functions $L_1$ and $L_2$ satisfying a functional equation (and some natural assumptions) to have infinitely many distinct zeros. Some related questions have already been answered…
Motivated by existing blend-to-zero techniques, a formal framework is developed for defining and constructing blend-to-zero operators on closed intervals for the generation of sufficiently smooth transitions between functions. Such…
Finite difference schemes, using Backward Differentiation Formula (BDF), are studied for the approximation of one-dimensional diffusion equations with an obstacle term, of the form $$\min(v_t - a(t,x) v_{xx} + b(t,x) v_x + r(t,x) v, v-…
For each non-constant $q$ in the set of $n$-variable Boolean functions, the {\em $q$-transform} of a Boolean function $f$ is related to the Hamming distances from $f$ to the functions obtainable from $q$ by nonsingular linear change of…
A differentiable function is pseudoconvex if and only if its restrictions over straight lines are pseudoconvex. A differentiable function depending on one variable, defined on some closed interval $[a,b]$ is pseudoconvex if and only if…
A function $f:\mathbb{Z}_n \to \mathbb{C}$ can be represented as a linear combination $f(x)=\sum_{\alpha \in \mathbb{Z}_n}\widehat{f}(\alpha) \chi_{\alpha,n}(x)$ where $\widehat{f}$ is the (discrete) Fourier transform of $f$. Clearly, the…
The goal of this paper is to explain how a simple but apparently new fact of linear algebra together with the cohomological interpretation of L-functions allows one to produce many examples of L-functions over function fields vanishing to…
We study periodic points for endomorphisms $\sigma$ of abelian varieties $A$ over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristic $p$. We show that the dynamical zeta function $\zeta_\sigma$ of $\sigma$ is either rational or…
