Let $T\subset\mathbb{R}$, $M$ be a metric space with metric $d$, and $M^T$ be the set of all functions mapping $T$ into $M$. Given $f\in M^T$, we study the properties of the approximate variation $\{V_\varepsilon(f)\}_{\varepsilon>0}$,…

Let $M$ denote the centered Hardy--Littlewood operator on $\mathbb{R}$. We prove that \[ {\rm Var} (Mf)\le {\rm Var} (f) - \frac12\big| |f(\infty)|-|f(-\infty)|\big| \] for piecewise constant functions $f$ with nonzero and zero values…

The concept of bounded variation has been generalized in many ways. In the frame of functions taking values in Banach space, the concept of bounded semivariation is a very important generalization. The aim of this paper is to provide an…

Given two real numbers, the $L^2$ functions whose Fourier transforms vanish with a certain rapidity near the given numbers are characterised as those that are expressible as the sum of a certain number of generalised finite differences that…

We prove that the roots of a smooth monic polynomial with complex-valued coefficients defined on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb R^m$ admit a parameterization by functions of bounded variation uniformly with respect to the…

In this work we extend classical results for subgraphs of functions of bounded variation in $\mathbb{R}^n\times\mathbb{R}$ to the setting of $\mathsf{X}\times\mathbb{R}$, where $\mathsf{X}$ is an ${\rm RCD}(K,N)$ metric measure space. In…

A differentiable function is pseudoconvex if and only if its restrictions over straight lines are pseudoconvex. A differentiable function depending on one variable, defined on some closed interval $[a,b]$ is pseudoconvex if and only if…

We establish several results concerning the expected general phenomenon that, given a multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{C}$, the values of $f(n)$ and $f(n+a)$ are "generally" independent unless $f$ is of a "special" form.…

In the process of proving a sharpened form of G\r{a}rding's inequality, Fefferman & Phong demonstrated that every non-negative function $f\in C^{3,1}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ can be written as a finite sum of squares of functions in…

Let $ \mathcal{B}:=\{f(z)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_nz^n\; \mbox{with}\; |f(z)|<1\;\mbox{for all}\; z\in\mathbb{D}\} $. The improved version of the classical Bohr's inequality \cite{Bohr-1914} states that if $ f\in\mathcal{B} $, then the…

Consider a subset $A$ of $\mathbb{F}_p^n$ and a decomposition of its indicator function as the sum of two bounded functions $1_A=f_1+f_2$. For every family of linear forms, we find the smallest degree of uniformity $k$ such that assuming…

The functional (de)composition of polynomials is a topic in pure and computer algebra with many applications. The structure of decompositions of (suitably normalized) polynomials f(x) = g(h(x)) in F[x] over a field F is well understood in…

In this note we compare two measures of the complexity of a class $\mathcal F$ of Boolean functions studied in (unconditional) pseudorandomness: $\mathcal F$'s ability to distinguish between biased and uniform coins (the coin problem), and…

We study the shifted convolution problem for the divisor function in function fields in the large degree limit, that is, the average value of $d(f) d(f+h)$ where $f$ runs over monic polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ of a given degree, and…

We show that, for a natural class of rearrangement admissible spaces $X$ and $Y$, the Fourier operator is bounded between $X$ and $Y$ if and only if any operator of joint strong type $(1,\infty; 2,2)$ is also bounded between $X$ and $Y$. By…

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…

We generalize the celebrated isoperimetric inequality of Khot, Minzer, and Safra~(SICOMP 2018) for Boolean functions to the case of real-valued functions $f \colon \{0,1\}^d\to\mathbb{R}$. Our main tool in the proof of the generalized…

The classical Grothendieck inequality is viewed as a statement about representations of functions of two variables over discrete domains by integrals of two-fold products of functions of one variable. An analogous statement is proved,…

This article contains several results for \lambda-Robertson functions, i.e., analytic functions $f$ defined on the unit disk $D$ satisfying $f(0) = f'(0)-1=0$ and $Re e^{-i\lambda} {1+zf"(z)/f'(z)} > 0$ in $D$, where $\lambda \epsilon…
