Our primary aim is to explore a sufficient condition for the class of meromorphically convex functions of order $\alpha$, where $0 \leq \alpha < 1$. The investigation will focus on studying a class of continuous functions defined on…

We focus on a sequence of functions $\{f_n\}$, defined on a compact manifold with boundary $S$, converging in the $C^k$ metric to a limit $f$. A common assumption implicitly made in the empirical sciences is that when such functions…

We prove the following dichotomy: if $n=2,3$ and $f\in C^1(\mathbb{S}^{n+1},\mathbb{S}^n)$ is not homotopic to a constant map, then there is an open set $\Omega\subset\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$ such that $\mathrm{rank}\, df=n$ on $\Omega$ and…

A function f:R -> R is approximately continuous iff it is continuous in the density topology, i.e., for any ordinary open set U the set E=f^{-1}(U) is measurable and has Lebesgue density one at each of its points. Denjoy proved that…

Computable and sharp error bounds are derived for asymptotic expansions for linear differential equations having a simple turning point. The expansions involve Airy functions and slowly varying coefficient functions. The sharpness of the…

Discrete Morse theory emerged as an essential tool for computational geometry and topology. Its core structures are discrete gradient fields, defined as acyclic matchings on a complex $C$, from which topological and geometrical informations…

The aim of this note is twofold. Firstly, we prove an abstract version of the Calder\'on transference principle for inequalities of admissible type in the general commutative multilinear and multiparameter setting. Such an operation does…

For a real-valued non-negative and log-concave function we introduce a notion of difference function; the difference function represents a functional analog on the difference body of a convex body. We prove a sharp inequality which bounds…

We prove that for any $\alpha\in[0,\omega_1)$ there exists a strongly separately continuous function $f:\ell_\infty\to [0,1]$ such that $f$ belongs to the $(\alpha+1)$'th /$(\alpha+2)$'th/ Baire class and does not belong to the $\alpha$'th…

The condition number of a differentiable convex function, namely the ratio of its smoothness to strong convexity constants, is closely tied to fundamental properties of the function. In particular, the condition number of a quadratic convex…

We show that $C^0$-fine approximation of convex functions by smooth (or real analytic) convex functions on $\R^d$ is possible in general if and only if $d=1$. Nevertheless, for $d\geq 2$ we give a characterization of the class of convex…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions on weights $u_1, u_2, v_1, v_2$, i.e. measurable, positive, and finite, a.e. on $(a,b)$, for which there exists a positive constant $C$ such that for given $0 < p_1,q_1,p_2,q_2 <\infty$ the…

Over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, there exist rational functions with only one critical point. We give an elementary characterization of these functions in terms of their continued fraction expansions. Then we…

In this paper we first introduce the unified definition of the sharp constant that includes constants in three major problems of approximation theory, such as, inequalities for approximating elements, approximation of individual elements,…

We address Gromov's Quantification of $C^0$ Convergence Conjecture in dimension three. Let $B$ be the unit ball in $\mathbb R^3$. Let $g$ and $g_0$ be smooth metrics on $B$. We prove there are constants $C$ and $\epsilon_0$ depending only…

Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) is a particular form of factor analysis, most commonly used in social research. In confirmatory factor analysis, the researcher first develops a hypothesis about what factors they believe are underlying…

The classical lemma of Borel reads: any power series with real coefficients is the Taylor series of a smooth function. Algebraically this means the surjectivity of the completion map at a point, $C^\infty(\Bbb{R}^n) \twoheadrightarrow…

The primary objective of this paper is to establish the sharp estimates of the pre-Schwarzian norm for functions $f$ in the class $\mathcal{S}^*(\varphi)$ and $\mathcal{C}(\varphi)$ when $\varphi(z)=1/(1-z)^s$ with $0<s\leq 1$ and…

Let $(M,g)$ be a $n-$dimensional, compact Riemannian manifold. We define the frequency scale $\lambda$ of a function $f \in C^{0}(M)$ as the largest number such that $\left\langle f, \phi_k \right\rangle =0$ for all Laplacian eigenfunctions…

In a recent article by Farah and the authors, a strong lifting theorem was proved for a class of coordinate-respecting maps between reduced products of discrete structures, hereby working under mild Forcing Axioms. We generalise this…
