In previous work, the author has shown that $\Pi^1_1$-induction along $\mathbb N$ is equivalent to a suitable formalization of the statement that every normal function on the ordinals has a fixed point. More precisely, this was proved for a…
The paper is devoted to a reverse-mathematical study of some well-known consequences of Ramsey's theorem for pairs, focused on the chain-antichain principle $\mathsf{CAC}$, the ascending-descending sequence principle $\mathsf{ADS}$, and the…
We determine all entire functions $f$ such that for nonzero complex values $a\neq b$ the implications $f=a \Rightarrow f' =a$ and $f' =b \Rightarrow f=b$ hold. This solves an open problem in uniqueness theory. In this context we give a…
We calculate the possible Scott ranks of countable models of Peano arithmetic. We show that no non-standard model can have Scott rank less than $\omega$ and that non-standard models of true arithmetic must have Scott rank greater than…
The theory of ordinal ranks on Baire class 1 functions developed by Kechris and Loveau was recently extended by Elekes, Kiss and Vidny\'{a}nszky to Baire class $\xi$ functions for any countable ordinal $\xi\geq1$. In this paper, we answer…
Let $q, n, m \in \mathbb{N}$ be such that $q$ is a prime power and $a, b \in \mathbb{F}$. In this article we establish a sufficient condition for the existence of a primitive normal pair $(\alpha, f(\alpha)) \in \mathbb{F}_{q^m}$ over…
Consider a semi-algebraic function $f\colon\mathbb{R}^n \to {\mathbb{R}},$ which is continuous around a point $\bar{x} \in \mathbb{R}^n.$ Using the so--called {\em tangency variety} of $f$ at $\bar{x},$ we first provide necessary and…
We prove that the $\Phi^4$ theory is trivial for any values of the bare coupling constant $\lambda$ thus extending previous results referring to very strong couplings to the full range of values for this parameter. The method is based on…
Let $\Omega$ denote the class of functions $f$ analytic in the open unit disc $\Delta$, normalized by the condition $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$ and satisfying the inequality \begin{equation*} \left|zf'(z)-f(z)\right|<\frac{1}{2}\quad(z\in\Delta).…
Let ${\bf L}$ be the unit exponential random variable and ${\bf Z}_\alpha$ the standard positive $\alpha$-stable random variable. We prove that $\{(1-\alpha) \alpha^{\gamma_\alpha} {\bf Z}_\alpha^{-\gamma_\alpha}, 0< \alpha <1\}$ is…
The purpose of this paper is to consider coefficient estimates in a class of functions $\mathfrak{G}_{\vartheta}^{\kappa}(\mathcal{X},\varkappa)$ consisting of analytic functions $f$ normalized by $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$\ in the open unit disk…
We study various proofs of the caracterization of constant functions, more precisely of the theorem: a derivable function, defined on a real interval, is constant if, and only if, its derivative is null. Our aim is to study the…
Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the class of analytic functions $f$ on the unit disc $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\;|z|<1\}$ normalized by $f(0)=0$ and $f^{\prime}(0)=1$. In the present article, we consider and $\mathcal{F}(c)$ the subclasses of…
For each $a \in \mathbb{R}$, we define a Borel function $f_a : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ which encodes $a$ in a certain sense. We show that for each Borel $g : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$, $f_a \cap g = \emptyset$ implies $a \in…
This paper presents two types of results related to hyperarithmetic analysis. First, we introduce new variants of the dependent choice axiom, namely $\mathrm{unique}~\Pi^1_0(\mathrm{resp.}~\Sigma^1_1)\text{-}\mathsf{DC}_0$ and…
We show that for each computable ordinal $\alpha>0$ it is possible to find in each Martin-L\"of random $\Delta^0_2$ degree a sequence $R$ of Cantor-Bendixson rank $\alpha$, while ensuring that the sequences that inductively witness $R$'s…
In this paper we show that the existence of omega-models of bar induction is equivalent to the principle saying that applying the Howard-Bachmann operation to any well-ordering yields again a well-ordering.
Given an integer $a\ge 1$, a function $f: \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ is said to be $a$-subadditive if $$ f(ax+y) \le af(x)+f(y) \,\,\,\text{ for all }x,y \in \mathbb{R}. $$ Of course, $1$-subadditive functions (which correspond to ordinary…
Let F be a family of functions meromorphic in a domain D. If {|f|/(1+|f|^3):f in F} is locally uniformly bounded away from zero, then F is normal.
The main purpose of this work is to characterize derivations through functional equations. This work consists of five chapters. In the first one, we summarize the most important notions and results from the theory of functional equations.…
