On the distribution of zeros of a sequence of entire functions approaching the Riemann zeta function

In this paper we study the distribution of zeros of each entire function of the sequence , which approaches the Riemann zeta function for Rez<−1, and is closely related to the solutions of the functional equations f(z)+f(2z)+?+f(nz)=0. We determine the density of the zeros of Gn(z) on the critical strip where they are situated by using almost-periodic functions techniques. Furthermore, by using a theorem of Kronecker, we also establish a formula for the number of zeros of Gn(z) inside certain rectangles in the critical strip.     

On the univalence of functions with logharmonic laplacian

In this paper, we prove Radó’s theorem holds for functions of the form is logharmonic. We show that if F is of the form , where is logharmonic, then F is starlike iff ψ(z)=h(z)/g(z) is starlike. In addition, when , where L is logharmonic and H is harmonic, we give the sufficient conditions for F to be locally univalent.     

On a non-standard class of entire functions

In this article we construct a class of entire functions of arbitrary finite order and with non-zero Taylor coefficients, which is not written in the form of Hadamard's canonical product. Some basic properties of this class are also given.     

On the Fatou components of two permutable transcendental entire functions

Let f and g be two distinct permutable transcendental entire functions. Suppose further that q(g)=aq(f)+b for some nonconstant polynomial q(z) and constants a(≠0), . In this article, we will investigate the dynamical properties of f and g and show that they have the same Fatou sets with the same components.     

On the singularities of composition of entire functions

Let f be an entire function. A point zo is called a critical point of f if f'(zo) = 0, and f(zo) is called a critical value (or an algebraic singularity) of f. Next a ∈ (C^) is said to be an asymptotic value (or a transcendental singularity) of f if there exists a curve Γ:[0,1]→(C^) such that limt→1Γ(t)=∞ and limt→1(foΓ)(t)=a. In this paper we find relations between the asymptotic values of f, g and f o g, relations between critical points of f, g and f o g and also in the case when the two functions f and g are semi-conjugated with another entire function.     

On a conjecture of D. Styer regarding univalent geometric and annular starlike functions

The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, to give a direct proof for the already established result of Styer which states that a univalent geometrically starlike function is a univalent annular starlike function if is bounded. Second, to show that the boundedness condition of is necessary, thus disproving a conjecture of Styer.

Some properties of certain meromorphic close-to-convex functions

In the present paper, we introduce and investigate a certain subclass of meromorphic close-to-convex functions. Such results as coefficient inequalities, convolution property, distortion property and radius of meromorphic convexity are derived.     

Expansion of entire functions into Lagrange series

This paper is devoted to the problem of representing entire functions, in spaces described by the order and the type of these functions, by Lagrange series that converge in the natural topology in these spaces; this topology is stronger than the topology of compact convergence.

Criteria for univalence of the Dziok-Srivastava and the Srivastava-Wright operators in the class A

In the geometric function theory (GFT) much attention is paid to various linear integral operators mapping the class S of the univalent functions and its subclasses into themselves. In [12] and [13] Hohlov obtained sufficient conditions that guarantee such mappings for the operator defined by means of Hadamard product with the Gauss hypergeometric function. In our earlier papers as [20], [19], [17] and [18], etc., we extended his method to the operators of the generalized fractional calculus (GFC, [16]). These operators have product functions of the forms _m+1F_m and _m+1Ψ_m and integral representations by means of the Meijer G- and Fox H-functions. Here we propose sufficient conditions that guarantee mapping of the univalent, respectively of the convex functions, into univalent functions in the case of the celebrated Dziok-Srivastava operator ([8] : J. Dziok, H.M. Srivastava, Classes of analytic functions associated with the generalized hypergeometric function, Appl. Math. Comput.103, No 1 (1999), pp. 1-13) defined as a Hadamard product with an arbitrary generalized hypergeometric function _pF_q. Similar conditions are suggested also for its extension involving the Wright _pΨ_q-function and called the Srivastava-Wright operator (Srivastava, [36]). Since the discussed operators include the above-mentioned GFC operators and many their particular cases (operators of the classical FC), from the results proposed here one can derive univalence criteria for many named operators in the GFT, as the operators of Hohlov, Carlson and Shaffer, Saigo, Libera, Bernardi, Erdélyi-Kober, etc., by giving particular values to the orders p ? q + 1 of the generalized hypergeometric functions and to their parameters.

On the functional optimization of a certain class of nonstationary spatial functions

Procedures are developed in order to obtain optimal estimates of linear functionals for a wide class of nonstationary spatial functions. These procedures rely on well-established constrained minimum-norm criteria, and are applicable to multidimensional phenomena which are characterized by the so-called hypothesis of inherentity. The latter requires elimination of the polynomial, trend-related components of the spatial function leading to stationary quantities, and also it generates some interesting mathematics within the context of modelling and optimization in several dimensions. The arguments are illustrated using various examples, and a case study computed in detail.The authors acknowledge with appreciation the comments and criticisms made by Dr. L. C. W. Dixon of the Numerical Optimization Centre, Hatfield Polytechnic, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, England.     

A note on exponent of convergence of zeros of entire functions

If f(z) is an entire function with ρ ₁ > 0 as its exponent of convergence of zeros and if 0 ≤ α < ρ ₁, then we prove the existence of entire functions each having α as its exponent of convergence of zeros.
