We give a~detailed construction of the complete ordered field of real numbers by means of infinite decimal expansions. We prove that in the canonical encoding of decimals neither addition nor multiplication is {\em computable}, but that…

Let X = S \oplus G, where S is a countable abelian semigroup and G is a countably infinite abelian group such that {2g : g in G} is infinite. Let pi: X \to G be the projection map defined by pi(s,g) = g for all x =(s,g) in X. Let f:X \to…

The main result establishes an estimate for the growth of a real meromorphic function $f$ on the unit disc $\Delta$ such that: (i) at least one of $f$ and $1/f$ has finitely many poles and non-real zeros in $\Delta$; (ii)~$f^{(k)}$ has…

Let X be a separable Banach space which admits a separating polynomial; in particular X a separable Hilbert space. Let $f:X \rightarrow R$ be bounded, Lipschitz, and $C^1$ with uniformly continuous derivative. Then for each {\epsilon}>0,…

The function f:X -> Y is called k-monotonically increasing if there is a partition X = X_1 U ... U X_k such that f|X_i : X_i -> Y is monotonically increasing for i=1,...,k. It is proved that a one-to-one function f:N -> N is k-monotonically…

Generalized derivatives and infinitesimal spaces generalize the idea of derivatives to mappings which need not be differentiable. It is particularly powerful in the context of quasiregular mappings, where normal family arguments imply…

In 2012 Chen and Singer introduced the notion of discrete residues for rational functions as a complete obstruction to rational summability. More explicitly, for a given rational function f(x), there exists a rational function g(x) such…

We find all pairs of real analytic functions $f$ and $g$ in $\bbR^n$ such that $|\nabla f|=|\nabla g|$ and $(\nabla f)(\nabla g)=0$.

We give a new proof of the result that if f and g are transcendental entire functions, then the composite function f(g) has infinitely many fixed points. The method yields a number of generalization of this result. In particular, it extends…

We construct an algebra of dimension $2^{\aleph_0}$ consisting only of functions which in no point possess a finite one-sided derivative. We further show that some well known nowhere differentiable functions generate algebras, which contain…

Given any polynomial with real coefficients, the existence of a real quadratic polynomial factor is proven using only basic real analysis. The aim is to provide an approachable proof to anybody who is familiar with the least upper bound…

We call a set of positive integers closed under taking unitary divisors a unitary ideal. It can be regarded as a simplicial complex. Moreover, a multiplicative arithmetical function on such a set corresponds to a function on the simplicial…

This paper presents a family of rapidly convergent summation formulas for various finite sums of the form $\sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor x\rfloor}f(k)$, where $x$ is a positive real number.

We consider the question of approximating any real number $\alpha$ by sums of $n$ rational numbers $\frac{a_1}{q_1} + \frac{a_2}{q_2} + ... + \frac{a_n}{q_n}$ with denominators $1 \leq q_1, q_2, ..., q_n \leq N$. This leads to an inquiry on…

We prove that a real x is 1-generic if and only if every differentiable computable function has continuous derivative at x. This provides a counterpart to recent results connecting effective notions of randomness with differentiability. We…

The derivatives with respect to order {\nu} for the Bessel functions of argument x (real or complex) are studied. Representations are derived in terms of integrals that involve the products pairs of Bessel functions, and in turn series…

Let $k\ge 2$ be an integer and let $A$ be a set of nonnegative integers. The representation function $R_{A,k}(n)$ for the set $A$ is the number of representations of a nonnegative integer $n$ as the sum of $k$ terms from $A$. Let $A(n)$…

Let $f(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n!}q^{n(n-1)/2}x^n$ ($0<q<1$) be the deformed exponential function. It is known that the zeros of $f(x)$ are real and form a negative decreasing sequence $(x_k)$ ($k\ge 1$). We investigate the complete…

We prove a pointwise convergence result for additive ergodic averages associated with certain multiplicative actions of the Gaussian integers. We derive several applications in dynamics and number theory, including: (i) Wirsing's theorem…
