Determining if a symmetric function is Schur-positive is a prevalent and, in general, a notoriously difficult problem. In this paper we study the Schur-positivity of a family of symmetric functions. Given a partition \lambda, we denote by…

We prove two results with regard to rational inner functions in the Schur-Agler class of the tridisk. Every rational inner function of degree (n,1,1) is in the Schur-Agler class, and every rational inner function of degree (n,m,1) is in the…

The primary objective of this paper is to establish several sharp versions of Bohr inequalities for bounded analytic functions in the unit disk $\mathbb{D} := \{z\in\mathbb{C} : |z| < 1\}$ involving multiple Schwarz functions. Moreover, we…

A characterization of those points in the unit disc which belong to the spectrum of a composition operator $C_{\varphi}$, defined by a rotation $\varphi(z)=rz$ with $|r|=1$, on the space $H_0(\mathbb{D})$ of all analytic functions on the…

Let ${\mathcal A}$ denote the family of all functions $f$ analytic in the unit disk $\ID$ and satisfying the normalization $f(0)=0= f'(0)-1$. Let $\mathcal{S}$ denote the subclass of ${\mathcal A}$ consisting of univalent functions in…

We construct a Schauder basis for the space $Hol(\mathbb D)$, the space of holomorphic functions on the closed unit disk, consisting entirely of finite Blaschke products. The expansion coefficients are given explicitly. Our result remains…

Schoenberg showed that a function $f:(-1,1)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that $C=[c_{ij}]_{i,j}$ positive semi-definite implies that $f(C)=[f(c_{ij})]_{i,j}$ is also positive semi-definite must be analytic and have Taylor series coefficients…

We introduce and study a generalization $s_{(\mu|\lambda)}$ of the Schur functions called the almost symmetric Schur functions. These functions simultaneously generalize the finite variable key polynomials and the infinite variable Schur…

We describe several classes of holomorphic functions of positive real part on the unit ball; each is characterized by an operator-valued Herglotz formula. Motivated by results of J.E. McCarthy and M. Putinar, we define a family of weighted…

In this paper the notion of an abstract square function (estimate) is introduced as an operator X to gamma (H; Y), where X, Y are Banach spaces, H is a Hilbert space, and gamma(H; Y) is the space of gamma-radonifying operators. By the…

The product $s_\mu s_\nu$ of two Schur functions is one of the most famous examples of a Schur-positive function, i.e. a symmetric function which, when written as a linear combination of Schur functions, has all positive coefficients. We…

We consider the expansion of the square of a complete homogeneous function $h_\lambda$, or of an elementary symmetric function $e_\lambda$, in the basis of Schur functions. This square also decomposes into two plethysms, $s_2[h_\lambda]$…

We define a fat staircase to be a Ferrers diagram corresponding to a partition of the form $(n^{\alpha_n}, {n-1}^{\alpha_{n-1}},..., 1^{\alpha_1})$, where $\alpha = (\alpha_1,...,\alpha_n)$ is a composition, or the $180^\circ$ rotation of…

Let (X,m) and (Y,n) be standard measure spaces. A function f in $L^\infty(X\times Y,m\times n)$ is called a (measurable) Schur multiplier if the map $S_f$, defined on the space of Hilbert-Schmidt operators from $L_2(X,m)$ to $L_2(Y,n)$ by…

In this paper, we develop a semi-classical analysis on H-type groups. We define semi-classical pseudodifferential operators, prove the boundedness of their action on square integrable functions and develop a symbolic calculus. Then, we…

We consider the family of all meromorphic functions $f$ of the form $$ f(z)=\frac{1}{z}+b_0+b_1z+b_2z^2+\cdots $$ analytic and locally univalent in the puncture disk $\mathbb{D}_0:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\,0<|z|<1\}$. Our first objective in this…

Jury and Martin establish an analogue of the classical inner-outer factorization of Hardy space functions. They show that every function $f$ in a Hilbert function space with a normalized complete Pick reproducing kernel has a factorization…

We develop a $d$-variable analog of the two-component de Bran-ges-Rovnyak reproducing kernel Hilbert space associated with a Schur-class function on the unit disk. In this generalization, the unit disk is replaced by the unit ball in…

We present a solution of the operator-valued Schur-function realization problem on the right-half plane by developing the corresponding de Branges-Rovnyak canonical conservative simple functional model. This model corresponds to the closely…
