We prove a function field analogue of a conjecture of Schinzel on the factorization of univariate polynomials over the rationals. We derive from it a finiteness theorem for the irreducible factorizations of the bivariate Laurent polynomials…

Let $\Re_n$ be the set of all rational functions of the type $r(z) = p(z)/w(z),$ where $p(z)$ is a polynomial of degree at most $n$ and $w(z) = \prod_{j=1}^{n}(z-a_j)$, $|a_j|>1$ for $1\leq j\leq n$. In this paper, we set up some results…

A new approach to disintegration of measures is presented, allowing one to drop the usually taken separability assumption. The main tool is a result on fibers in the spectrum of algebra of essentially bounded functions established recently…

We prove new upper bounds on the number of representations of rational numbers $\frac{m}{n}$ as a sum of $4$ unit fractions, giving five different regions, depending on the size of $m$ in terms of $n$. In particular, we improve the most…

Any function can be constructed using a hierarchy of simpler functions through compositions. Such a hierarchy can be characterized by a binary rooted tree. Each node of this tree is associated with a function which takes as inputs two…

We introduce a logic specifically designed to support reasoning about social choice functions. The logic includes operators to capture strategic ability, and operators to capture agent preferences. We establish a correspondence between…

In this note I present a readable version of the proof of my 2001 result, giving a sufficient and necessary condition for a function on a combinatorial cube to essentially (locally) depend on at most one variable (see the end of the paper…

This note states and proves a representation theorem for regular quantity functions, based on the theory of quantity spaces, thereby giving a new perspective on dimensional analysis and the classical $\pi$ theorem.

We present effective algorithms for uniform approximation of multivariate functions satisfying some prescribed inner structure. We extend in several directions the analysis of recovery of ridge functions $f(x)=g(\langle a,x\rangle)$ as…

This paper discusses limitations of reflexive and diagonal arguments as methods of proof of limitative theorems (e.g. G\"odel's theorem on Entscheidungsproblem, Turing's halting problem or Chaitin-G\"odel's theorem). The fact, that a formal…

We extend to several variables an earlier result of ours, according to which an entire function of one variable of sufficiently small exponential type, having all derivatives of even order taking integer values at two points, is a…

Quasi-periodic cocycles with a diophantine frequency and with values in SL(2,R) are shown to be almost reducible as long as they are close enough to a constant, in the topology of k times differentiable functions, with k great enough.…

We describe a numerical algorithm for evaluating the numbers of roots minus the number of poles contained in a region based on the argument principle with the function of interest being written as a Mellin transformation of a usually…

The following analog of Bernstein inequality for monotone rational functions is established: if $R$ is an increasing on $[-1,1]$ rational function of degree $n$, then $$ R'(x)<\frac{9^n}{1-x^2}\|R\|,\quad x\in (-1,1). $$ The exponential…

We unify in a large class of additive functions the results obtained in the first part of this work. The proof rests on series involving the Riemann zeta function and certain sums of primes which may have their own interest.

A new simple proof of Stirling's formula via the partial fraction expansion for the tangent function is presented.

The paper deals with the problem of approximating the functions of several variables by branched continued fractions, in particular, multidimensional A- and J-fractions with independent variables. A generalization of Gragg's algorithm is…

We consider simple rational functions $R_{mn}(x)=P_m(x)/Q_n(x)$, with $P_m$ and $Q_n$ polynomials of degree $m$ and $n$ respectively. We look for "nice" functions, which we define to be ones where as many as possible of the roots, poles,…

Every rational Nevanlinna function in n variables is a Cayley inner function in n + 1 variables with one variable fixed in the upper half-plane.

We prove an analogue of Fekete's subadditivity lemma for functions of several real variables which are subadditive in each variable taken singularly. This extends both the classical case for subadditive functions of one real variable, and a…
