Let $\mathcal{H}$ be the class of harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$, where $h$ and $g$ are analytic in $\mathbb{D}$ with the normalization $h(0)=g(0)=h'(0)-1=0$. Let…
A hypergeometric type equation satisfying certain conditions defines either a finite or an infinite system of orthogonal polynomials. We present in a unified and explicit way all these systems of orthogonal polynomials, the associated…
We provide some conditions for the graph of a Hoelder-continuous function on \bar{D}, where \bar{D} is a closed disc in the complex plane, to be polynomially convex. Almost all sufficient conditions known to date --- provided the function…
Hyper-Positive real, matrix-valued, rational functions are associated with absolute stability (the Lurie problem). Here, quantitative subsets of Hyper-positive functions, related through nested inclusions, are introduced. Structurally, this…
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…
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 prove that every matrix-valued rational function $F$, which is regular on the closure of a bounded domain $\mathcal{D}_\mathbf{P}$ in $\mathbb{C}^d$ and which has the associated Agler norm strictly less than 1, admits a…

Many problems of theoretical and practical interest involve finding an optimum over a family of convex functions. For instance, finding the projection on the convex functions in $H^k(\Omega)$, and optimizing functionals arising from some…
We revisit the phenomenon where, for certain domains $D$, if the squeezing function $s_D$ extends continuously to a point $p\in \partial{D}$ with value $1$, then $\partial{D}$ is strongly pseudoconvex around $p$. In $\mathbb{C}^2$, we…
In this note, we prove that, among functions $f$ supported on a Hamming Sphere in $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ with fixed $\ell^2$ norm, the additive energy is maximised when $f$ is constant. This answers a question asked by Kirshner and Samorodnitsky.
Suppose that A is a set of n real numbers, each at least 1 apart. Define the ``perturbed sum and product sets'' S and P to be the sums a + b + f(a,b) and products (a+g(a,b))(b+h(a,b)), where f, g, and h satisfy certain upper bounds in terms…
In this paper, we use purely complex analytic techniques to prove two results of the first author which were hitherto given only probabilistic proofs. A general form of the Phragm\'en-Lindel\"of principle states that if the…
The reality of the zeros of the product and cross-product of Bessel and modified Bessel functions of the first kind is studied. As a consequence the reality of the zeros of two hypergeometric polynomials is obtained together with the number…
The Hesse curve or Hesse derivative Hess$(\Gamma_f)$ of a cubic curve $\Gamma_{f}$ given by a homogeneous polynomial $f$ is the set of points $P$ such that $\det \left(H_f (P)\right)=0$, where $H_f (P)$ is the Hesse matrix of $f$ evaluated…
A continuous selection of polynomial functions is a continuous function whose domain can be partitioned into finitely many pieces on which the function coincides with a polynomial. Given a set of finitely many polynomials, we show that…
In this paper we have introduced two new classes $\mathcal{H}\mathcal{M}(\beta, \lambda, k, \nu)$ and $\overline{\mathcal{H}\mathcal{M}} (\beta, \lambda, k, \nu)$ of complex valued harmonic multivalent functions of the form $f = h +…
In this brief note, it is shown that the function p^TW log(p) is convex in p if W is a diagonally dominant positive definite M-matrix. The techniques used to prove convexity are well-known in linear algebra and essentially involves…
We show that the norm in the Hardy space $H^p$ satisfies \begin{equation}\label{absteq} \|f\|_{H^p}^p\asymp\int_0^1M_q^p(r,f')(1-r)^{p\left(1-\frac1q\right)}\,dr+|f(0)|^p\tag{\dag} \end{equation} for all univalent functions provided that…
We establish the following Hadamard--Stoker type theorem: Let $f:M^n\rightarrow\mathscr{H}^n\times\mathbb R$ be a complete connected hypersurface with positive definite second fundamental form, where $\mathscr H^n$ is a Hadamard manifold.…
