Analogous to the use of sums of squares of certain real-valued special functions to prove the reality of the zeros of the Bessel functions J_\alpha(z) when \alpha \ge -1, confluent hypergeometric functions {}_0F_1(c; z) when c > 0 or 0 > c…
The real and complex zeros of some special entire functions such as Wright, hyper-Bessel, and a special case of generalized hypergeometric functions are studied by using some classical results of Laguerre, Obreschkhoff, P\'olya and Runckel.…
In this work we establish some polynomials and entire functions have only real zeros. These polynomials generalize q-Laguerre polynomials $L_{n}^{(\alpha)}(x;q)$, while the entire functions are generalizations of Ramanujan's entire function…
Let \begin{equation*} A_{q}^{(\alpha)}(a;z) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{(a;q)_{k} q^{\alpha k^2} z^k} {(q;q)_{k}}, \end{equation*} where $\alpha >0,~0<q<1.$ In a paper of Ruiming Zhang, he asked under what conditions the zeros of the entire…
We show that certain sums of products of Hermite-Biehler entire functions have only real zeros, extending results of Cardon. As applications of this theorem we construct sums of exponential functions having only real zeros, we construct…
We prove that if $\sum_n n! c_n z^n$ is entire and $c_n$ does not terminate, then $\sum_n c_n z^n$ has infinitely many zeros. We then use this result to give alternative proofs that the Le Roy functions $f_r(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty…
Zeros of Bessel functions $J_\alpha$ play an important role in physics. They are a motivation for studying zeros of exponential polynomials defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, and more generally of $E$-functions. In this paper we…
In this paper, we give results that partially prove a conjecture which was discussed in our previous work (arXiv:1307.4991). More precisely, we prove that as $n\to \infty,$ the zeros of the polynomial$${}_{2}\text{F}_{1}\left[…
The problem of characterizing a real polynomial $f$ as a sum of squares of polynomials on a real algebraic variety $V$ dates back to the pioneering work of Hilbert in [Mathematische Annalen 32.3 (1888): 342-350]. In this paper, we…
N. Kishore, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 14 (1963), 523, considered the Rayleigh functions sigma_n, sums of the negative even powers of the (non-zero) zeros of the Bessel function J_nu(z) and provided a convolution type sum formula for finding…
This is the second in a series of three papers dealing with sums of squares and hypoellipticity in the infinitely degenerate regime. We give sharp conditions on the entries of a positive semidefinite NxN matrix function F on n-dimensional…
This is the first in a series of three papers dealing with sums of squares and hypoellipticity in the infinite regime. We give a sharp sufficient condition on a smooth nonnegative function f on n-dimensional Euclidean space so that it can…
We prove complete monotonicity of sums of squares of generalized Baskakov basis functions by deriving the corresponding results for hypergeometric functions. Moreover, in the central Baskakov case we study the distribution of the complex…
We ask whether every polynomial function that is non-negative on a real algebraic curve can be expressed as a sum of squares in the coordinate ring. Scheiderer has classified all irreducible curves for which this is the case. For reducible…
We describe the two sets of meromorphic univalent functions in the class $\Sigma$, for which the sequence of Faber polynomials $\{F_j\}_{j=1}^\infty $ have the roots with following properties respectively:…
In this paper, we study the zero sets of the confluent hypergeometric function $_{1}F_{1}(\alpha;\gamma;z):=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(\alpha)_{n}}{n!(\gamma)_{n}}z^{n}$, where $\alpha, \gamma, \gamma-\alpha\not\in \mathbb{Z}_{\leq 0}$, and…
We prove that for $\nu>n-1$ all zeros of the $n$th derivative of Bessel function of the first kind $J_{\nu}$ are real and simple. Moreover, we show that the positive zeros of the $n$th and $(n+1)$th derivative of Bessel function of the…
In this work we verify the sufficiency of a Jensen's necessary and sufficient condition for a class of genus 0 or 1 entire functions to have only real zeros. They are Fourier transforms of even, positive, indefinitely differentiable, and…
Special functions have been used widely in many problems of applied sciences. However, there are considerable numbers of problems in which exact solutions could not be achieved because of undefined sums or integrals involving special…
Laguerre's theorem regarding the number of non-real zeros of a polynomial and its image under certain linear operators is generalized. This generalization is then used to (1) exhibit a number of previously undiscovered complex zero…
