The subject of this paper is the bounded level curves of a meromorphic function $f$ with domain $G$ such that each component of $\partial{G}$ consists of a level curve of $f$. (A primary example of such a function being a ratio of finite…

Hofstadter's $G$ function is recursively defined via $G(0)=0$ and then $G(n)=n-G(G(n-1))$. Following Hofstadter, a family $(F_k)$ of similar functions is obtained by varying the number $k$ of nested recursive calls in this equation. We…

The classical Gauss--Lucas theorem describes the location of the critical points of a polynomial. There is also a hyperbolic version, due to Walsh, in which the role of polynomials is played by finite Blaschke products on the unit disk. We…

E-functions are entire functions with algebraic Taylor coefficients satisfying certain arithmetic conditions, and which are also solutions of linear differential equations with rational functions coefficients. They were introduced by Siegel…

Let $r,m$ be positive integers. Let $0\le x <1$ be a rational number. Let $\Phi_s(x,z)$ be the $s$-th Lerch function $\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\tfrac{z^{k+1}}{(k+x+1)^s}$ with $s=1,2,\ldots ,r$. When $x=0$, this is the polylogarithmic function.…

Suppose L is any finite algebraic extension of either the ordinary rational numbers or the p-adic rational numbers. Also let g_1,...,g_k be polynomials in n variables, with coefficients in L, such that the total number of monomial terms…

Let $D$ be a closed disk in the complex plane centered at the origin, $f, g$ complex valued continuous function on $D$. Let $P[f,g; D]$ (res. $R[f, g; D])$) be the uniform closure on $D$ of polynomials (res. rational functions) in variables…

Let f be a function transcendental and meromorphic in the plane, and define g(z) by g(z) = f(z+1) - f(z). A number of results are proved concerning the existence of zeros of g(z) or g(z)/f(z), in terms of the growth and the poles of f.

We show that every linear functional on the Dirichlet space that is non-zero on nowhere-vanishing functions is necessarily a multiple of a point evaluation. Continuity of the functional is not assumed. As an application, we obtain a…

It is shown (Theorem A and its corollary) that if g is any nonconstant nonunivalent analytic function on a half-plane H and if D is either a half-plane or a smoothly bounded Jordan domain, then there is a function f on D for which f'(D)…

Let $\mathcal{G}(\alpha)$ denote the family of functions $ f(z)$ in the open unit disk $\mathbb D :=\{z\in\mathbb{C}: |z|<1\}$ that satisfy $ f(0)=0= f'(0)=1$ and \[\Re \left(1+ \dfrac{z f''(z)}{ f'(z)}\right)<1+\dfrac{\alpha}{2} , \quad…

In this paper we determine the disks $|z|<r\le1$ where for different classes of univalent functions, we have the property $${\rm Re}\left\{2\frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}-\frac{z f''(z)}{f'(z)}\right\}>0\qquad (|z|<r).$$
