Let f be a function transcendental and meromorphic in the plane, and define g(z) by g(z) = f(z+1) - f(z). A number of results are proved concerning the existence of zeros of g(z) or g(z)/f(z), in terms of the growth and the poles of f.

In this paper which is the first of a series of papers on smooth structures, the concepts of C-structures and smooth structures are introduced and studied. The notion of smooth structure on semi-integral domains is given. It is shown that…

It is shown that every C-semianalytic arc-symmetric set can be realized as the zero locus of an arc-analytic function. As a consequence, a Nash globally subanalytic arc-symmetric set is the zero locus of a continuous globally-subanalytic…

We introduce a notion of positive definiteness for functions $f\!:P\to\mathbb{R}$ defined on meet semilattices $(P,\preceq,\wedge)$ and prove several properties for these functions. In addition, we utilize the $LDL^{\rm T}$ decomposition of…

We consider a semi-algebraic function defined on a closed semi-algebraic set X. We give formulas relating the topology of X to the indices of the critical points of the function and to the topological behavior of the function at infinity.…

We ask whether every polynomial function that is non-negative on a real algebraic curve can be expressed as a sum of squares in the coordinate ring. Scheiderer has classified all irreducible curves for which this is the case. For reducible…

In this paper we prove a quaternionic positive real lemma as well as its generalized version, in case the associated kernel has negative squares for slice hyperholomorphic functions. We consider the case of functions with positive real part…

The main result establishes an estimate for the growth of a real meromorphic function $f$ on the unit disc $\Delta$ such that: (i) at least one of $f$ and $1/f$ has finitely many poles and non-real zeros in $\Delta$; (ii)~$f^{(k)}$ has…

It is known that local zeta functions associated with real analytic functions can be analytically continued as meromorphic functions to the whole complex plane. But, in the case of general ($C^{\infty}$) smooth functions, the meromorphic…

We show that an arc-analytic subanalytic function on a complex manifold M, which is holomorphic near one point, is a holomorphic function on M. More generally, an arc-analytic subanalytic function on a real analytic CR-manifold M, which is…
