Let $f$ be a measurable, real function defined in a neighbourhood of infinity. The function $f$ is said to be of generalised regular variation if there exist functions $h \not\equiv 0$ and $g > 0$ such that $f(xt) - f(t) = h(x) g(t) +…
The aim of this note is to characterize all pairs of sufficiently smooth functions for which the mean value in the Cauchy Mean Value Theorem is taken at a point which has a well-determined position in the interval. As an application of this…
We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a continuous bounded function $f: R\to C$ to be a characteristic function of a probability measure. The Cauchy transform $K_f$ of $f$ is used as analytic continuation of $f$ to the upper and…
Kummer's function, also known as the confluent hypergeometric function (CHF), is an important mathematical function, in particular due to its many special cases, which include the Bessel function, the incomplete Gamma function and the error…
In this paper, we derive new estimates for the remainder term of the midpoint, trapezoid, and Simpson formulae for functions whose derivatives in absolute value at certain power are h-convex and we point out the results for some special…
Integral representations of hypergeometric functions proved to be a very useful tool for studying their properties. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we extend the known representations to arbitrary values of the parameters and…
This paper gives the pointwise H\"older (or multifractal) spectrum of continuous functions on the interval $[0,1]$ whose graph is the attractor of an iterated function system consisting of $r\geq 2$ affine maps on $\mathbb{R}^2$. These…
What do we really mean by a "good" scientific journal? Do we care more about the short-time impact of our papers, or about the chance that they will still be read and cited on the long run? Here I show that, by regarding a journal as a…
It is a well-known and elementary fact that a holomorphic function on a compact complex manifold without boundary is necessarily constant. The purpose of the present article is to investigate whether, or to what extent, a similar property…
The Fox $H$-function is a special function which is defined via the Mellin-Barnes integrals and produces, as particular cases, Wright generalized hypergeometric functions, MacRobert's $E$-functions and Meijer $G$-functions, to name but few.…
We define an analogue of the Baernstein star function for a meromorphic function f in several complex variables. This function is subharmonic on the upper half-plane and encodes some of the main functionals attached to f.We then…
Pointwise H\"older exponents describe the degree of regularity of a function near a point. For a function $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$, a number $\alpha>0$ and a point $t_0\in\mathbb{R}$, write $f\in C^\alpha(t_0)$ if there is a constant $C$…
We derive and prove a new formulation of the Lerch zeta function as a fractional derivative of an elementary function. We demonstrate how this formulation interacts very naturally with basic known properties of Lerch zeta, and use the…
The theoretical computing of special values assumed by the hypergeometric functions has a high interest not only on its own, but also in sight of the remarkable implications to both pure Mathematics and Mathematical Physics. Accordingly, in…
A necessary and sufficient condition is given for a subshift presentation to have a continuous $g$-function. An invariant necessary and sufficient condition is formulated for a subshift to posses a presentation that has a continuous…
A generalization of Hurwitz stable polynomials to real rational functions is considered. We establishe an analogue of the Hurwitz stability criterion for rational functions and introduce a new type of determinants that can be treated as a…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a difference of convex (DC, for short) functions, defined on a locally convex space, to be Lipschitz continuous. Our criterion relies on the intersections of the "epsilon-subdifferentials of…
Many functions encountered in applied mathematics and in statistical data analysis can be expressed in terms of perspective functions. One of the earliest examples is the Fisher information, which appeared in statistics in the 1920s. We…
We generalize the classical Bernstein theorem concerning the constructive description of classes of functions uniformly continuous on the real line. The approximation of continuous bounded functions by entire functions of exponential type…
We give a thoroughful explanation of the general properties of different, general scales, corresponding to different (all possible) mathematical functions f(x), we mention and analyse many examples. These observations and statements might…
