Let $f$ be a holomorphic, or even meromorphic, function on the unit disc. Plessner's theorem then says that, for almost every boundary point $\zeta $, either (i) $f$ has a finite nontangential limit at $\zeta $, or (ii) the image $f(S)$ of…

A result in \cite{Ker-Weit} states that a real valued continuous function $f$ on the circle and its nonnegative integral powers can generate a dense translation invariant subspace in the space of all continuous functions on the circle if…

In this paper we study a class of functions that appear naturally in some equidistribution problems and that we call $F$-harmonic. These are functions of the universal cover of a closed and negatively curved which possess an integral…

We study the computational complexity of planar valued constraint satisfaction problems (VCSPs), which require the incidence graph of the instance be planar. First, we show that intractable Boolean VCSPs have to be self-complementary to be…

We obtain criteria for the boundedness and compactness of weighted composition operators between different Fock spaces in $\mathbb{C}^n$. We also give estimates for essential norm of these operators.

We consider a continuous function $f$ on a domain in $\mathbf C^n$ satisfying the inequality that $|\bar \partial f|\leq |f|$ off its zero set. The main conclusion is that the zero set of $f$ is a complex variety. We also obtain removable…

We prove the real non-attractive fixed point conjecture for complex polynomial and rational harmonic functions. A harmonic function $f=h+\overline{g}$ is polynomial (rational) if both $h$ and $g$ are polynomials (rational functions) of…

Determining the range of complex maps plays a fundamental role in the study of several complex variables and operator theory. In particular, one is often interested in determining when a given holomorphic function is a self-map of the unit…

Using infinite compositions, we solve the general equations $P(\lambda w) = p(w)f(P(w))$ for holomorphic functions $p$ and $f$. We describe the situations in which this equation is palpable; and their effectiveness at describing dynamical…

Let D be a bounded domain in the complex plane whose boundary consists of m pairwise disjoint simple closed curves where m is greater than one. Let A(bD) be the algebra of all continuous functions on bD which extend holomorphically through…

We show that if the gradient of $f:\RR^2\rightarrow\RR$ exists everywhere and is nowhere zero, then in a neighbourhood of each of its points the level set $\{x\in\RR^2:f(x)=c\}$ is homeomorphic either to an open interval or to the union of…

The aim of this paper is to establish properties of the solutions to the $\alpha$-harmonic equations: $\Delta_{\alpha}(f(z))=\partial{z}[(1-{|{z}|}^{2})^{-\alpha} \overline{\partial}{z}f](z)=g(z)$, where…

Let $u$ be a harmonic function in a $C^1$-Dini domain, such that $u$ vanishes on an open set of the boundary. We show that near every point in the open set, $u$ can be written uniquely as the sum of a non-trivial homogeneous harmonic…

Let $K\ge 1$. We prove Zygmund theorem for $K-$quasiregular harmonic mappings in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ in the complex plane by providing a constant $C(K)$ in the inequality $$\|f\|_{1}\le C(K)(1+\|\mathrm{Re}\,(f)\log^+ |\mathrm{Re}\,…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Given a polynomial f(x,y) in K[x,y] with one place at infinity, we prove that either f is equivalent to a coordinate, or the family (f+c) has at most two rational elements. When…

Functions that are piecewise defined are a common sight in mathematics while convexity is a property especially desired in optimization. Suppose now a piecewise-defined function is convex on each of its defining components - when can we…

Let $\mathcal{A}(p)$ be the class consisting of functions $f$ that are holomorphic in $\ID\setminus \{p\}$, $p\in (0,1)$ possessing a simple pole at the point $z=p$ with nonzero residue and normalized by the condition $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$. In…

The harmonic inner radius $\sigma_H(\Omega)$ of a planar domain $\Omega$ is the largest constant with which a univalence criterion via the Schwarzian derivative holds for harmonic mappings. We show that…

Let Delta^{n} be the unit polydisc in C^{n} and let f be a holomorphic self map of Delta^{n}. When n=1, it is well known, by Schwarz's lemma, that f has at most one fixed point in the unit disc. If no such point exists then f has a unique…

In the plane, we study the transform $R_\gamma f$ of integrating a unknown function $f$ over circles centered at a given curve $\gamma$. This is a simplified model of SAR, when the radar is not directed but has other applications, like…
