We study multiplicative functions $f$ satisfying $|f(n)|\le 1$ for all $n$, the associated Dirichlet series $F(s):=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} f(n) n^{-s}$, and the summatory function $S_f(x):=\sum_{n\le x} f(n)$. Up to a possible trivial…

Assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, there is a compact first countable connected space of weight aleph_1 with no totally disconnected perfect subsets. Each such space, however, may be destroyed by some proper forcing order which does not add…

Let $a,~f$ be elements in a ring with pseudo core inverses $a^{\scriptsize\textcircled{\tiny D}}$, $f^{\scriptsize\textcircled{\tiny D}}$, and let $b=f-a$. We prove that the absorption law $a^{\scriptsize\textcircled{\tiny…

Let $E$ be a real vector space with dual space $E^*$ and let $C\subset E$ be a convex subset with more than one point. Let $f : C\to\mathbb{R}$ be a function satisfying a mild stability property at 'flat' points of the (relative) boundary…

The famous Erdos-Heilbronn conjecture plays an important role in the development of additive combinatorics. In 2007 Z. W. Sun made the following further conjecture (which is the linear extension of the Erdos-Heilbronn conjecture): For any…

Motivated by the Maximum Theorem for convex functions (in the setting of linear spaces) and for subadditive functions (in the setting of Abelian semigroups), we establish a Maximum Theorem for the class of generalized convex functions,…

We call a function "constructible" if it has a globally subanalytic domain and can be expressed as a sum of products of globally subanalytic functions and logarithms of positively-valued globally subanalytic functions. Our main theorem…

Let $C$ be an affine plane curve. We consider additive functions $f: K\rightarrow K$ for which $f(x)f(y)=0$, whenever $(x,y)\in C$. We show that if $K=\mathbb{R}$ and $C$ is the hyperbola with defining equation $xy=1$, then there exist…

By the sometimes so-called 'Main Theorem' of Recursive Analysis, every computable real function is necessarily continuous. We wonder whether and which kinds of HYPERcomputation allow for the effective evaluation of also discontinuous…

Submodular set functions are undoubtedly among the most important building blocks of combinatorial optimization. Somewhat surprisingly, continuous counterparts of such functions have also appeared in an analytic line of research where they…

Let $\phi:M_n\to B(H)$ be an injective, completely positive contraction with $\V\phi^{-1}:\phi(M_n)\to M_n\V_{cb}\leq1+\delta(\epsilon).$ We show that if either (i) $\phi(M_n)$ is faithful modulo the compact operators or (ii) $\phi(M_n)$…

A map $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is defined to be {\em scatteredly continuous} if for each subspace $A\subset X$ the restriction $f|A$ has a point of continuity. We show that for a function $f:X\to Y$ from a perfectly paracompact…

Let $ \{X_j, j\in \Z\}$ be a Gaussian stationary sequence having a spectral function $F$ of infinite type. Then for all $n$ and $z\ge 0$,$$ \P\Big\{\sup_{j=1}^n |X_j|\le z \Big\}\le \Big(\int_{-z/\sqrt{G(f)}}^{z/\sqrt{G(f)}}…

In this paper we study the following type of functions $f: \mathcal{Q}_{\mathbb{R}_{3}} \to \mathbb{R}_{3}$, where $ \mathcal{Q}_{\mathbb{R}_3}$ is the quadratic cone of the algebra $\mathbb{R}_{3}$. From the fact that it is possible to…

We show that the class of all aggregation functions on $[0,1]$ can be generated as a composition of infinitary sup-operation $\bigvee$ acting on sets with cardinality not exceeding $\mathfrak{c}$, $b$-medians $\mathsf{Med}_b$, $b\in[0,1[$,…

We establish several results concerning the expected general phenomenon that, given a multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{C}$, the values of $f(n)$ and $f(n+a)$ are "generally" independent unless $f$ is of a "special" form.…

We give a general framework for the treatment of perturbations of types and structures in continuous logic, allowing to specify which parts of the logic may be perturbed. We prove that separable, elementarily equivalent structures which are…

We have provided a pure model-theoretic proof for the decidability of the additive structure of the integers together with the function {f} sending {x} to {[\phi x]} where {\phi} is the golden ratio.

It is well-known that the functions $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R}^d)$ whose translates along a lattice $\Lambda$ form a tiling, can be completely characterized in terms of the zero set of their Fourier transform. We construct an example of a…

As early as the 1930s, P\'al Erd\H{o}s conjectured that: {\em for any multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\{-1,1\}$, the partial sums $\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)$ are unbounded.} Considering this conjecture, in this paper we consider…
