We prove that, if f:R^n\to R satisfies Fr\'echet's functional equation and f(x_1,...,x_n) is not an ordinary algebraic polynomial in the variables x_1,...,x_n, then f is unbounded on all non-empty open set U of R^n. Furthermore, the closure…

Let $h(B_d)$ denote the space of real-valued harmonic functions on the unit ball $B_d$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge 2$. Given a radial weight $w$ on $B_d$, consider the following problem: construct a finite family $\{f_1, f_2, \dots, f_J\}$ in…

For a fixed prime $p$, let $\mathbb C_p$ denote the complex $p$-adic numbers. For polynomials $A,B\in \mathbb C_p[x]$ we consider decompositions $A(x)f^2(x)+B(x)g^2(x)=1$ of entire functions $f,\,g$ on $\mathbb C_p$ and try to improve an…

We investigate harmonic mappings $f=h+\bar{g}$ defined in the unit disk, where $g$ and $h$ satisfy certain prescribed conditions and the analytic part $h$ belongs to the Ma and Minda class of starlike functions. Certain sharp radius results…

Let $R$ be a finite non-commutative ring with $1\ne 0$. By a polynomial function on $R$, we mean a function $F\colon R\longrightarrow R$ induced by a polynomial $f=\sum\limits_{i=0}^{n}a_ix^i\in R[x]$ via right substitution of the variable…

We study the fixed points of the Berezin transform on the Fock-type spaces $F_m^2$ with the weight $e^{-|z|^m}, m > 0.$ It is known that the Berezin transform is well-defined on the polynomials in $z$ and $\overline{z}$. In this paper we…

The exponential orthogonal polynomials encode via the theory of hyponormal operators a shade function $g$ supported by a bounded planar shape. We prove under natural regularity assumptions that these complex polynomials satisfy a three term…

Let $D^2 \subset C$ be a closed two-dimensional disk and $f:D^2 \to R$ be a continuous function such that a restriction of $f$ to $\partial D^2$ is a continuous function with a finite number of local extrema and $f$ has a finite number of…

By the celebrated Weierstrass Theorem the set of algebraic polynomials is dense in the space of continuous functions on a compact set in R^d. In this paper we study the following question: does the density hold if we approximate only by…

The first order nonlinear ODE \dot \phi(t) + \sin\phi(t)=q(t),q(t)=B+A\cos\omega t, where A,B,\omega are real constants, is considered, the transformation converting it to a second order linear homogeneous ODE with polynoimial coefficients…

A harmonic mapping $f=h+\overline{g}$ in $\mathbb{D}$ is $\varphi$-normal if $f^{\#}(z)=\mathcal{O}(|\varphi(z)|), \text{ as } |z|\to 1^-,$ where $f^{\#}(z)={(|h'(z)|+|g'(z)|)}/{(1+|f(z)|^2)}.$ In this paper, we establish several sufficient…

Solutions to Laplace's equation are called harmonic functions. Harmonic functions arise in many applications, such as physics and the theory of stochastic processes. Of interest classically are harmonic polynomials, which have a simple…

We show that any periodic with respect to normal subgroups (of the group representation of the Cayley tree) of finite index $p$-harmonic function is a constant. For some normal subgroups of infinite index we describe a class of…

A multivariate polynomial $p(x)=p(x_1,...,x_n)$ is sos-convex if its Hessian $H(x)$ can be factored as $H(x)= M^T(x) M(x)$ with a possibly nonsquare polynomial matrix $M(x)$. It is easy to see that sos-convexity is a sufficient condition…

In this work, a functional variant of the polynomial analogue of the classical Gandy's fixed point theorem is obtained. Sufficient conditions have been found to ensure that the complexity of the recursive function does not go beyond the…

We prove that any unicritical polynomial $f_c:z\mapsto z^d+c$ which is at most finitely renormalizable and has only repelling periodic points is combinatorially rigid. It implies that the connectedness locus (the ``Multibrot set'') is…

We study the problem of synthesizing polyhedral Lyapunov functions for hybrid linear systems. Such functions are defined as convex piecewise linear functions, with a finite number of pieces. We first prove that deciding whether there exists…

A theorem of A. and C. R\'enyi on periodic entire functions states that an entire function $f(z) $ must be periodic if $ P(f(z)) $ is periodic, where $ P(z) $ is a non-constant polynomial. By extending this theorem, we can answer some open…
