This work is concerned with the convex analysis of functions defined on (not necessarily finite-dimensional) Hilbert spaces whose values depend solely on a certain ``spectrum'' of the arguments, a class we term ``spectral functions.'' We…

This note aims to bring attention to a simple class of discrete dynamical systems exhibiting some complex behaviour. Each of these systems is defined as a self-mapping of the unit square and is obtained by coupling two families of…

An important open problem in geometric complex analysis is to find algorithms for explicit determination of basic functionals intrinsically connected with conformal and quasiconformal maps, such as their Teichmuller and Grunsky norms,…

We consider normalized univalent functions with prescribed second Taylor coefficient $a_2$. For convex functions $f$ we study the Hardy spaces to which $f$ and $f'$ belong, refining in particular on a theorem of Eenigenburg and Keogh, and…

The hypergeometric functions ${}_nF_{n-1}$ are higher transcendental functions, but for certain parameter values they become algebraic, because the monodromy of the defining hypergeometric differential equation becomes finite. It is shown…

In this paper we consider some properties of the initial logarithmic coefficients for inverse functions of functions univalent in the unit disc. The case of convex functions is treated separately. We give estimate, in some cases sharp, of…

We describe the value set $\{f(z_0)\,:\, f:\mathbb{D}\to\mathbb{D} \text{ univalent}, f(0)=0, f'(0)= e^{-T} \},$ where $\mathbb{D}$ denotes the unit disc and $z_0\in\mathbb{D}\setminus\{0\}$, $T>0,$ by applying Pontryagin's maximum…

In this work, we introduce a new class of non-convex functions, called implicit concave functions, which are compositions of a concave function with a continuously differentiable mapping. We analyze the properties of their minimization by…

An analytic function $f$ defined on the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z:|z|<1\}$ is bi-univalent if the function $f$ and its inverse $f^{-1}$ are univalent in $\mathbb{D}$. Estimates for the initial coefficients of bi-univalent functions $f$…

We study the order of affine and linear invariant families of planar harmonic mappings in the unit disk and determine the order of the family of mappings with bounded Schwarzian norm. The result shows that finding the order of the class…

Let $n\geq 2$. In this paper, we obtain approximation properties of various families of normalized univalent mappings $f$ on the Euclidean unit ball $\mathbb{B}^n$ in $\mathbb{C}^n$ by automorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^n$ whose restrictions to…

Two square matrices of (arbitrary) order N are introduced. They are defined in terms of N arbitrary numbers z_{n}, and of an arbitrary additional parameter (a respectively q), and provide finite-dimensional representations of the two…

In the finite dimensional case, mean-type mappings, their invariant means, relations between the uniqueness of invariant means and convergence of orbits of the mapping, are considered. In particular it is shown, that the uniqueness of an…

We view a conic optimization problem that has a unique solution as a map from its data to its solution. If sufficient regularity conditions hold at a solution point, namely that the implicit function theorem applies to the normalized…

We characterize a holomorphic positive definite function $f$ defined on a horizontal strip of the complex plane as the Fourier-Laplace transform of a unique exponentially finite measure on $\mathbb{R}$. The classical theorems of Bochner on…

Mixed volumes, which are the polarization of volume with respect to the Minkowski addition, are fundamental objects in convexity. In this note we announce the construction of mixed integrals, which are functional analogs of mixed volumes.…

Let $\ast$ and $\widetilde {\ast}$ denote the convolution of two analytic maps and that of an analytic map and a harmonic map respectively. Pokhrel [1] proved that if $f = h+\overline{g}$ is a harmonic map convex in the direction of…

In the works of Darboux and Walsh it was remarked that a one to one self mapping of $\rr^3$ which sends convex sets to convex ones is affine. It can be remarked also that a $\calc^2$-diffeomorphism $F:U\to U^{'}$ between two domains in…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the class of analytic functions such that $f(0)=0$ and $f'(0)=1$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z \in \mathbb{C}: |z|<1\}.$ In the present paper, we consider $\mathcal{C}(\varphi) := \left\{ f \in \mathcal{A} :…

We prove that if the Schwarzian norm of a given complex-valued locally univalent harmonic mapping $f$ in the unit disk is small enough, then $f$ is, indeed, globally univalent and can be extended to a quasiconformal mapping in the extended…
