Let $K$ be a compact metric space. A real-valued function on $K$ is said to be of Baire class one (Baire-1) if it is the pointwise limit of a sequence of continuous functions. In this paper, we study two well known ordinal indices of…

In 1949, Motzkin proved that every Euclidean domain $R$ has a minimal Euclidean function, $\phi_R$. He showed that when $R = \mathbb{Z}$, the minimal function is $\phi_{\mathbb{Z}}(x) = \lfloor \log_2 |x| \rfloor$. For over seventy years,…

Let $\phi: A\to A$ be a (not necessarily linear, additive or continuous) map of a standard operator algebra. Suppose for any $a,b\in A$ there is an algebra automorphism $\theta_{a,b}$ of $ A$ such that \begin{align*} \phi(a)\phi(b) =…

Let $\Gamma$ be a crystal group in $\mathbb R^d$. A function $\varphi:\mathbb R^d\longrightarrow \mathbb C$ is said to be {\em crystal-refinable} (or $\Gamma-$refinable) if it is a linear combination of finitely many of the rescaled and…

Let $f = f(z,t)$ be a function holomorphic in $z \in O \subseteq {\mathbb C}^d$ for fixed $t\in \Omega$ and measurable in $t$ for fixed $z$ and such that$z \mapsto f(z,\cdot)$ is bounded with values in$E := L_{p}(\Omega)$, $1\le p \le…

We consider a generalisation of a conjecture by Patterson and Wiedemann from 1983 on the Hamming distance of a function from $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ to $\mathbb{F}_q$ to the set of affine functions from $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ to $\mathbb{F}_q$. We prove…

In this paper we describe all differentiable functions $\varphi,\psi\colon E\to\mathbb{R}$ satisfying the functional-differential equation \begin{equation*} [\varphi(y) - \varphi(x)]\psi '\bigl(h(x,y)\bigr) = [\psi(y) - \psi(x)]\varphi…

Let $X$ be a locally compact topological space, $(Y,d)$ be a boundedly compact metric space and $LB(X,Y)$ be the space of all locally bounded functions from $X$ to $Y$. We characterize compact sets in $LB(X,Y)$ equipped with the topology of…

Every Euclidean domain $R$ has a minimal Euclidean function, $\phi_R$. A companion paper \cite{Graves} introduced a formula to compute $\phi_{\mathbb{Z}[i]}$. It is the first formula for a minimal Euclidean function for the ring of integers…

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…

A space X is finite dimensional, locally compact and separable metrizable if and only if X has a finite basic family: continuous functions Phi_1,...,Phi_n of X to the reals, R, such that for all continuous f from X to R there are g_1,...,…

We discuss Meyers-Serrin's type results for smooth approximations of functions $b=b(t,x):\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^m$, with convergence of an energy of the form \[ \int_{\mathbb{R}}\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} w(t,x)…

Let $F$ be a $p$-adic field. If $\pi$ be an irreducible representation of $GL(n,F)$, Bump and Friedberg associated to $\pi$ an Euler fator $L(\pi,BF,s_1,s_2)$ in \cite{BF}, that should be equal to…

We study in this paper very badly approximable matrix functions on the unit circle $\T$, i.e., matrix functions $\Phi$ such that the zero function is a superoptimal approximation of $\Phi$. The purpose of this paper is to obtain a…

We show that for a wide class of functions $F$ that: $$ {\lim_{\epsilon \downarrow 0} {\frac{1}{\epsilon}} \int_0^t \Big\{F(s, X_s) - F(s, X_s - \epsilon)\Big\} d\big<X,X\big>_s} = - \int_0^t\int_{\R} F(s, x) d L_s^x $$ where $X_t$ is a…

For a finite dimensional algebra $A$ with $0 < \phi dim (A) = m < \infty$ we prove that there always exist modules $M$ and $N$ such that $\phi(M) = m-1$ and $\phi (N) = 1$. On the other hand, we see an example of an algebra that not every…

We introduce new zeta functions related to an endomorphism $\phi$ of a discrete group $\Gamma$. They are of two types: counting numbers of fixed ($\rho\sim \rho\circ\phi^n$) irreducible representations for iterations of $\phi$ from an…
