Finite (word) state transducers extend finite state automata by defining a binary relation over finite words, called rational relation. If the rational relation is the graph of a function, this function is said to be rational. The class of…

We prove that the space $M(K(x,y))$ of $\mathbb R$-places of the field $K(x,y)$ of rational functions of two variables with coefficients in a totally Archimedean field $K$ has covering and integral dimensions $\dim M(K(x,y))=\dim_\IZ…

Building upon previous works of Andr{\'e} and Chudnovsky, we prove a general result concerning the approximations of values at rational points a/b of any G-function F with rational Taylor coefficients by fractions of the form n/(B…

We study the classification of spaces of continuous functions $C(K)$ under positive linear maps. For infinite countable compacta, we show that whenever $C(K)$ and $C(L)$ are isomorphic, there exists an isomorphism $T:C(K)\to C(L)$…

We consider injective first-order interpretations that input and output trees of bounded height. The corresponding functions have polynomial output size, since a first-order interpretation can use a k-tuple of input nodes to represent a…

A conjecture by Sun states that the partition function $p(n)$, for $n>1$, is never a perfect power. Recent work by Merca et al. proposes generalizations of perfect-power repulsion for $p(n)$. In this note, we prove these generalizations for…

In this paper we characterise univariate rational functions over a number field $\K$ having infinitely many points in the cyclotomic closure $\K^c$ for which the orbit contains a root of unity. Our results are similar to previous results of…

Let $r(z)$ be a rational function with at most $n$ poles, $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n,$ where $|a_j| > 1,$ $1\leq j\leq n.$ This paper investigates the estimate of the modulus of the derivative of a rational function $r(z)$ on the unit circle.…

The aim of this paper is to study the full $K-$moment problem for measures supported on some particular non-linear subsets $K$ of an infinite dimensional vector space. We focus on the case of random measures, that is $K$ is a subset of all…

Let $\langle K,\nu \rangle$ be a real closed valued field, and let $S\subseteq K^n$ be an open semi-algebraic set. Using tools from model theory, we find an algebraic characterization of rational functions which admit, on $S$, only values…

A classical inequality by Gr\"unbaum provides a sharp lower bound for the ratio $\mathrm{vol}(K^{-})/\mathrm{vol}(K)$, where $K^{-}$ denotes the intersection of a convex body with non-empty interior $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with a halfspace…

It is shown (Theorem A and its corollary) that if g is any nonconstant nonunivalent analytic function on a half-plane H and if D is either a half-plane or a smoothly bounded Jordan domain, then there is a function f on D for which f'(D)…

Two rational functions $f,g\in\Bbb F_q(X)$ are said to be {\em equivalent} if there exist $\phi,\psi\in\Bbb F_q(X)$ of degree one such that $g=\phi\circ f\circ\psi$. We give an explicit formula for the number of equivalence classes of…

The goal of this paper is to explain how a simple but apparently new fact of linear algebra together with the cohomological interpretation of L-functions allows one to produce many examples of L-functions over function fields vanishing to…

We classify all rational maps $H \in K(x)^n$ for which ${\rm trdeg}_K K(tH_1,tH_2,\ldots,tH_n) \le 2$, where $K$ is any field and $t$ is another indeterminate. Furthermore, we classify all such maps for which additionally $JH \cdot H = {\rm…

Let K be an algebraic number field. For a degree d rational morphism of projective n-space defined over K let R denote its minimal resultant ideal. For a fixed height function on the moduli space of dynamical systems this paper shows that…

We consider the structure ${\mathbb R}^{\mathrm{RE}}$ obtained from $({\mathbb R},<,+,\cdot)$ by adjoining the restricted exponential and sine functions. We prove Wilkie's conjecture for sets definable in this structure: the number of…
