In 1991, J. Thomson obtained celebrated structural results for $P^t(\mu).$ Later, J. Brennan (2008) generalized Thomson's theorem to $R^t(K,\mu)$ when the diameters of the components of $\mathbb C\setminus K$ are bounded below. The results…

A compact subset $K$ of the complex plane $\C$ is a set of polynomial (respectively rational) approximation if $P(K)=A(K)$ (respectively $R(K)=A(K)$), where $P(K)$ (respectively $R(K)$) is the family of functions on $K$ which are uniform…

We show how to improve on Theorem 10 in [arXiv:0906.4883], describing when subsets in $W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ are totally bounded subsets of $L^q(\mathbb{R}^n)$ for $p<n$ and $p\le q<p^*$. This improvement was first shown by Dosso, Fofana,…

In 1922 Ritt constructed the theory of functional decompositions of polynomials with complex coefficients. In particular, he described explicitly indecomposable polynomial solutions of the functional equation f(p(z))=g(q(z)). In this paper…

In this paper, we present a more complete version of the minimax theorem established in [7]. As a consequence, we get, for instance, the following result: Let $X$ be a compact, not singleton subset of a normed space $(E,\|\cdot\|)$ and let…

In this paper we generalize Poletsky's classical theorem to a situation where the kernel of Poisson functional is not upper semicontinuous. We give a characterization of thinness of a subset at a point in $\C^n$ in term of analytic discs.

Two theorems of J. F. Ritt on decompositions of polynomials maps are generalized to a more general situation: for, so-called, reduction monoids ($(K[x], \circ)$ and $(K[x^2]x, \circ)$ are examples of reduction monoids). In particular,…

The classical Ritt's Theorems state several properties of univariate polynomial decomposition. In this paper we present new counterexamples to Ritt's first theorem, which states the equality of length of decomposition chains of a…
