Rouch\'e's Theorem is among the most useful results in complex analysis for counting zeros of analytic functions. Rouch\'e's Theorem also admits a harmonic analogue for counting zeros of complex harmonic functions. Previously, this analogue…
We investigate the zeros of two one-parameter families of harmonic functions and describe how the number of zeros depends on the parameter. Our functions have the property that all zeros lie on certain rays in the complex plane and thus we…
The location of the zeros of a two-parameter family of complex-valued harmonic quadrinomials depends on the parameters. In this paper, we determine and demonstrate that the image of some critical circle under these two-parameter family of…
We study harmonic mappings of the form $f(z) = h(z) - \overline{z}$, where $h$ is an analytic function. In particular we are interested in the index (a generalized multiplicity) of the zeros of such functions. Outside the critical set of…
For a power series which converges in some neighborhood of the origin in the complex plane, it turns out that the zeros of its partial sums---its sections---often behave in a controlled manner, producing intricate patterns as they converge…
It is known that the Cauchy's argument principle, applied to an holomorphic function $f$, requires that $f$ has no zeros on the curve of integration. In this short note, we give a generalization of such a principle which covers the case…
The dominant theme of this thesis is that random matrix valued analytic functions, generalizing both random matrices and random analytic functions, for many purposes can (and perhaps should) be effectively studied in that level of…
We present a general, rigorous theory of partition function zeros for lattice spin models depending on one complex parameter. First, we formulate a set of natural assumptions which are verified for a large class of spin models in a…
The classical Hurwitz theorem says that if n first "harmonics" (2n + 1 Fourier coefficients) of a continuous function f(x) on the unit circle are zero, then f(x) changes sign at least 2n + 1 times. We show that similar facts and its…
We study harmonic functions on random environments with particular emphasis on the case of the infinite cluster of supercritical percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We prove that the vector space of harmonic functions growing at most linearly is…
We compare two known definitions for a relative family of effective zero cycles, based on traces and norms of functions, respectively. In characteristic zero we show that both definitions agree. In the general setting, we show that the norm…
In this paper we consider several families of potential non-isochronous systems and study their associated period functions. Firstly, we prove some properties of these functions, like their local behavior near the critical point or…
(Abbr.) We consider a direct representation of a periodic time-function by means of its zero-crossings. The use of the zero-crossings as the describing parameters is made possible by a singular model of a strongly nonlinear electrical…
We present a generalized circle theorem which includes the Lee-Yang theorem for symmetric transitions as a special case. It is found that zeros of the partition function can be written in terms of discontinuities in the derivatives of the…
In this paper we study finite-size effects in the Blume-Capel model through the analysis of the zeros of the partition function. We consider a complete graph and make use of the behaviour of the partition function zeros to elucidate the…
A system of singular integral equations with monotone and concave nonlinearity in the subcritical case is investigated. The specified system and its scalar analog have direct applications in various areas of physics and biology. In…
While discrete harmonic functions have been objects of interest for quite some time, this is not the case for discrete polyharmonic functions, as appear for instance in the asymptotics of path counting problems. In this article, a novel…
In this paper, we determine the numb er of zeros and the zero inclusion regions of a two-parameter family of harmonic quadrinomials. We also determine a curve that separates sense-preserving and sense-reversing regions for these families of…
In this article, we prove some normality criteria for a family of meromorphic functions having zeros with some multiplicity. Our main result involves sharing of a holomorphic function by certain differential polynomials. Our results…
In this paper we sharpen significantly several known estimates on the maximal number of zeros of complex harmonic polynomials. We also study the relation between the curvature of critical lemniscates and its impact on geometry of caustics…
