A universal differential equation is a nontrivial differential equation the solutions of which approximate to arbitrary accuracy any continuous function on any interval of the real line. On the other hand, there has been much interest in…

The differentiability of the one parameter family of Okomoto's functions as functions of $x$ has been analyzed extensively since their introduction in 2005. As an analogue to a similar investigation, in this paper, we consider the partial…

Riemann's non-differentiable function is a classic example of a continuous function which is almost nowhere differentiable, and many results concerning its analytic regularity have been shown so far. However, it can also be given a…

In this paper we introduce a class of functions contained in the disc algebra $\mathcal{A}(D)$. We study functions $f \in \mathcal{A}(D)$, which have the property that the continuous periodic function $u = Ref|_{\mathbb{T}}$, where…

We consider the random iteration of finitely many expanding $\mathcal{C}^{1+\epsilon}$ diffeomorphisms on the real line without a common fixed point. We derive the spectral gap property of the associated transition operator acting on…

In this paper we are interested in functionals defined on completely distributive lattices and which are invariant under mappings preserving {arbitrary} joins and meets. We prove that the class of nondecreasing invariant functionals…

It is proved that every function of finite Baire index on a separable metric space $K$ is a $D$-function, i.e., a difference of bounded semi-continuous functions on $K$. In fact it is a strong $D$-function, meaning it can be approximated…

We will give an elementary nonstandard proof that the family of generalized blancmange functions are nowhere differentiable. The proof follows from the intuitive characterization of differentiability at a point as almost $\delta$ affine…

Abstract convexity generalises classical convexity by considering the suprema of functions taken from an arbitrarily defined set of functions. These are called the abstract linear (abstract affine) functions. The purpose of this paper is to…

We say that a plane set $A$ is {\it graph-null,} if there is a function $g\colon [0,1] \to \mathbb{R}$ such that $\lambda_2 (A+{\rm graph}\, g)=0$. A plane set $A$ has the {\it translational Kakeya property} if, for every translated copy…

We present a class of functions $\mathcal{K}$ in $C^0(\R)$ which is variant of the Knopp class of nowhere differentiable functions. We derive estimates which establish $\mathcal{K} \sub C^{0,\al}(\R)$ for $0<\al<1$ but no $K \in…

Ultrafunctions are a particular class of generalized functions defined on a hyperreal field $\mathbb{R}^{*}\supset\mathbb{R}$ that allow to solve variational problems with no classical solutions. We recall the construction of ultrafunctions…

I give a short and completely elementary proof of Takagi's 1921 theorem on the zeros of a composite polynomial $f(d/dz) \, g(z)$.

A function in a class $\mathcal{F}(X)$ is said to be subdifferentially determined in $\mathcal{F}(X)$ if it is equal up to an additive constant to any function in $\mathcal{F}(X)$ with the same subdifferential. A function is said to be…

In this work we consider the Takagi factorization of a matrix valued function depending on parameters. We give smoothness and genericity results and pay particular attention to the concerns caused by having either a singular value equal to…

We consider Gomory and Johnson's infinite group model with a single row. Valid inequalities for this model are expressed by valid functions and it has been recently shown that any valid function is dominated by some nonnegative valid…

We first exhibit counterexamples to some open questions related to a theorem of Sakai. Then we establish an extension theorem of Sakai type for separately holomorphic/meromorphic functions.

Let T be Takagi's continuous but nowhere-differentiable function. It is known that almost all level sets (with respect to Lebesgue measure on the range of T) are finite. We show that the most common cardinality of the level sets of T is…

We show that there exists an entire function which has neither fixed points nor invariant Baker domains. The question whether such a function exists was raised by Buff.

We study one class of continuous functions $f$ defined on segment $[0,1]$ by equality $$ f(x)=\delta_{\alpha_1(x)1}+\sum^{\infty}_{k=2}\left[\delta_{\alpha_k(x)k}\prod^{k-1}_{j=1}g_{\alpha_j…
