Entire functions in one complex variable are extremely relevant in several areas ranging from the study of convolution equations to special functions. An analog of entire functions in the quaternionic setting can be defined in the slice…
A landmark result from rational approximation theory states that $x^{1/p}$ on $[0,1]$ can be approximated by a type-$(n,n)$ rational function with root-exponential accuracy. Motivated by the recursive optimality property of Zolotarev…
We continue the study in the setting of pluripotential theory arising from polynomials associated to a convex body $C$ in $({\bf R}^+)^d$. Here we discuss $C-$Robin functions and their applications. In the particular case where $C$ is a…
A rational homogeneous (of degree one) positive real matrix-valued function is presented as the Schur complement of a block of the linear pencil with positive semidefinite matrix coefficients. The partial derivative numerators of a rational…
This note studies, and partially solves, 3 elementary questions about continuous rational functions on real (and p-adic) algebraic varieties: Can one restrict such a function to a subvariety? Can one extend such a function from a…
For positive integers d, r, and M, we consider the class of rational functions on real d-dimensional space whose denominators are products of at most r functions of the form 1+Q(x) where each Q is a quadratic form with eigenvalues bounded…
We consider simple rational functions $R_{mn}(x)=P_m(x)/Q_n(x)$, with $P_m$ and $Q_n$ polynomials of degree $m$ and $n$ respectively. We look for "nice" functions, which we define to be ones where as many as possible of the roots, poles,…
The calculation and manipulation of large multi-variable rational functions is a key bottleneck in multi-loop calculations. In these conference proceedings, based on my article [Chawdhry (2023) arXiv:2312.03672], I present a technique to…
We study the rational approximation properties of special manifolds defined by a set of polynomials with rational coefficients. Mostly we will assume the case of all polynomials to depend on only one variable. In this case the manifold can…
We recall that diagonals of rational functions naturally occur in lattice statistical mechanics and enumerative combinatorics. We find that a seven-parameter rational function of three variables with a numerator equal to one (reciprocal of…
If a is a point in the domain of convergence of a planar power series f in a single variable x one con expand f into a planar power series in the variable (x-a). One arrives at the notion of planar analytic functions on any domain D in the…
The functional equation f(p(z))=g(q(z)) is studied, where p,q are polynomials and f,g are trancendental meromorphic functions in C. We find all the pairs p,q for which there exist nonconstant f,g satisfying our equation and there exist no…
We investigate the spectral properties of rooted trees with the intention of improving the currently existing results that deal with this matter. The concept of an assigned rational function is recursively defined for each vertex of a…
A noncommutative (nc) function in $x_1,\dots,x_g,x_1^*,\dots,x_g$ is called plurisubharmonic (plush) if its nc complex Hessian takes only positive semidefinite values on an nc neighborhood of 0. The main result of this paper shows that an…
Rational functions of total degree $l$ in n variables have a representation in the Bernstein form defined over $n$ dimensional simplex. The range of a rational function is bounded by the smallest and the largest rational Bernstein…
We examine two different ways of encoding a counting function, as a rational generating function and explicitly as a function (defined piecewise using the greatest integer function). We prove that, if the degree and number of input…
The coefficient sequences of multivariate rational functions appear in many areas of combinatorics. Their diagonal coefficient sequences enjoy nice arithmetic and asymptotic properties, and the field of analytic combinatorics in several…
Feynman integral computations in theoretical high energy particle physics frequently involve square roots in the kinematic variables. Physicists often want to solve Feynman integrals in terms of multiple polylogarithms. One way to obtain a…
We show that polynomial-time randomness (p-randomness) is preserved under a variety of familiar operations, including addition and multiplication by a nonzero polynomial-time computable real number. These results follow from a general…
We present criteria for deciding whether a bivariate rational function in two variables can be written as a sum of two (q-)differences of bivariate rational functions. Using these criteria, we show how certain double sums can be evaluated,…
