Let $F$ be a rational function of one complex variable of degree $m\geq 2$. The function $F$ is called simple if for every $z\in \mathbb C\mathbb P^1$ the preimage $F^{-1}\{z\}$ contains at least $m-1$ points. We show that if $F$ is a…

We introduce a basis of rational polynomial-like functions $P_0,\ldots,P_{n-1}$ for the free module of functions $Z/nZ\to Z/mZ$. We then characterize the subfamily of congruence preserving functions as the set of linear combinations of the…

In this paper we investigate Hartman functions on a topological group $G$. Recall that $(\iota, C)$ is a group compactification of $G$ if $C$ is a compact group, $\iota: G\to C$ is a continuous group homomorphism and $\iota(G)$ is dense in…

Let $k$ be an algebraic closed field of characteristic zero. Let $K$ be the rational function field $K=k(t)$. Let $\phi$ be a non isotrivial rational function in $K(z)$. We prove a bound for the cardinality of the set of $K$--rational…

Let $A$ be a rational function. For any decomposition of $A$ into a composition of rational functions $A=U\circ V$ the rational function $\widetilde A=V\circ U$ is called an elementary transformation of $A$, and rational functions $A$ and…

We construct a connected, compact set $K \subset \mathbb{C}^2$ with the following property: there exist points $p \in \hat{K} \setminus K$ such that there does not exist a sequence $\{A_\nu\}$ of analytic sets $A_\nu \subset\subset…

The paper considers the Hilbert space $\hat{H}_r$ of real functions summable with the square $L^2(a,b)_r$ on any interval $\{(a,b)_r\}_{r=1}^{\infty}\in \mathbb{R}$. It is shown on the basis of the theorem on zeros of real orthogonal…

Let $B$ be a rational function of degree at least two that is neither a Latt\`es map nor conjugate to $z^{\pm n}$ or $\pm T_n$. We provide a method for describing the set $C_B$ consisting of all rational functions commuting with $B.$…

In this paper, we establish the following result: Let $(T,{\cal F},\mu)$ be a $\sigma$-finite measure space, let $Y$ be a reflexive real Banach space, and let $\varphi, \psi:Y\to {\bf R}$ be two sequentially weakly lower semicontinuous…

Unlike polynomials, rational functions can represent functions having poles or branch cuts with root-exponential convergence and no Runge phenomenon. Recent developments of the AAA and greedy Thiele algorithms have sparked renewed interest…

The semidirect product $\mathbb{G}=\mathbb{L}\rtimes \mathbb{K}$ attached to a compact-group action on a connected, simply-connected solvable Lie group has a dense set of compact elements precisely when the $s\in \mathbb{K}$ operating on…

It is well known that sets of $p$-capacity zero are removable for bounded $p$-harmonic functions, but on metric spaces there are examples of removable sets of positive capacity. In this paper, we show that this can happen even on unweighted…

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…

Suppose that $\sA$ is a finitely generated commutative unital real algebra and $K$ is a closed subset of the set $\hat{A}$ of characters of $\sA$. We study the following problem: When is {\it each} linear functional $L:{\sA} \to \dR$ an…

Let K be a non archimedean algebraically closed field of characteristic pi complete for its ultrametric absolute value. In a recent paper by Escassut and Yang, polynomial decompositions P(f)=Q(g) for meromorphic functions f, g on K (resp.…

Let $\mathbb{C}_K$ be a complete and algebraic closed non-archimedean field with residual characteristic $2$. In this paper we prove that there exist $a,b\in\mathbb{C}_K$ such that the rational function $R(z)=\frac{z^2-z}{bz-\frac{1}{a}}$…

We prove a rearrangement inequality for the uncentered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function $M_{\mu}$ associate to general measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}$. This inequality is analogous to the Stein's result $cf^{**}(t)\leq(Mf)^{*}(t)\leq C…

Let $(E,\mathcal E,\mu)$ be a measure space and $G\colon E\times E\to [0,\infty]$ be measurable. Moreover, let $\mathcal F\!_{ui}$ denote the set of all $q\in\mathcal E^+$ (measurable numerical functions $q\ge 0$ on $E$) such that…

The general theme of this note is illustrated by the following theorem: Theorem 1. Suppose $K$ is a compact set in the complex plane and 0 belongs to the boundary $\partial K$. Let ${\cal A}(K)$ denote the space of all functions $f$ on $K$…

We prove a variant of the Mergelyan approximation theorem that allows us to approximate functions that are analytic and nonvanishing in the interior of a compact set K with connected complement, and whose interior is a Jordan domain, with…
