Differential equations of the form $f'' + A(z)f' + B(z)f = 0$ (*) are considered, where $A(z)$ and $B(z) \not\equiv 0$ are entire functions. The Lindel\"of function is used to show that for any $\rho \in (1/2, \infty)$, there exists an…

The uniqueness problems on transcendental meromorphic or entire functions sharing at least two values with their derivatives or linear differential polynomials have been studied and many results have been obtained. In this paper, we study a…

Scalar-valued meromorphic Herglotz-Nevanlinna functions are characterized by the interlacing property of their poles and zeros together with some growth properties. We give a characterization of matrix-valued Herglotz-Nevanlinna functions…

We treat shared value problems for rational functions $R(z)$ and their derivative $R'(z)$ in the plane and on the sphere. We also consider shared values for the pair $R(w)$ and $\partial_{z} R = \lambda w \cdot R'(w)$ on ${\mathbb C}…

We define an analogue of the Baernstein star function for a meromorphic function f in several complex variables. This function is subharmonic on the upper half-plane and encodes some of the main functionals attached to f.We then…

Let $U\not\equiv \pm\infty$ be a $\delta$-subharmonic function on a closed disc of radius $R$ centered at zero. In the previous two parts of our paper, we obtained general and explicit estimates of the integral of the positive part of the…

There is a duality theory connecting certain stochastic orderings between cumulative distribution functions F_1,F_2 and stochastic orderings between their inverses F_1^(-1),F_2^(-1). This underlies some theories of utility in the case of…

We determine all pairs $(f,g)$ of meromorphic functions that share four pairs of values $(a_\nu,b_\nu)$, $1\le\nu\le 4$, and a fifth pair $(a_5,b_5)$ under some mild additional condition.

Let $\mathcal{V}_p(\lambda)$ be the collection of all functions $f$ defined in the unit disc $\ID$ having a simple pole at $z=p$ where $0<p<1$ and analytic in $\ID\setminus\{p\}$ with $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$ and satisfying the differential…

Sharp versions of some classical results in differential equations are given. Main results consists of a Clunie and a Mohon'ko type theorems, both with sharp forms of error terms. The sharpness of these results is discussed and some…

We show that an earlier conjecture of the author, on diophantine approximation of rational points on varieties, implies the ``abc conjecture'' of Masser and Oesterl'e. In fact, a weak form of the former conjecture is sufficient, involving…

On the basis of the generalized argument principle, here we develop a numerical scheme for locating zeros and poles of a meromorphic function. A subdivision-transformation-calculation scheme is proposed to ensure the algorithm stability. A…

We introduce a new fractional derivative that generalizes the so-called alternative fractional derivative recently proposed by Katugampola. We denote this new differential operator by $\mathscr{D}_{M}^{\alpha,\beta }$, where the parameter…

In [Israel J. Math, 2014], Grahl and Nevo obtained a significant improvement for the well-known normality criterion of Montel. They proved that for a family of meromorphic functions $\mathcal F$ in a domain $D\subset \mathbb C,$ and for a…

In Part I an odd meromorphic function f(s) has been constructed from the Riemann zeta-function evaluated at one-half plus s. The conjunction of the Riemann hypothesis and hypotheses advanced by the author in Part I is assumed. In Part IV we…

We characterize the region of meromorphic continuation of an analytic function $f$ in terms of the geometric rate of convergence on a compact set of sequences of multi-point rational interpolants of $f$. The rational approximants have a…
