Limiting functions of series of functions

A series with a given set of limit functions is constructed. A theorem proved by Besicovich concerning conditionally convergent series is strengthened.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 10, No. 1, pp. 25–32, July. 1970.     

Families of functions and functions of proof

This article describes an activity for secondary school students that may constitute an appropriate opportunity to discuss with them the idea of proof, particularly in an algebraic context. During the activity the students may experience and understand some of the roles played by proof in mathematics in addition to verification of truth: explanation, discovery, intellectual challenge and self-fulfilment. They may learn that proof is not always a necessary condition for conviction since the work with several examples may provide confidence in the truth of a conjecture. The activity promotes the investigation of several families of quadratic functions and several families of cubic functions. The most important results are discussed and proven in the paper.

Equivariant functions and integrals of elliptic functions

In this paper, we introduce the theory of equivariant functions by studying their analytic, geometric and algebraic properties. We also determine the necessary and sufficient conditions under which an equivariant form arises from modular forms. This study was motivated by observing examples of functions for which the Schwarzian derivative is a modular form on a discrete group. We also investigate the Fourier expansions of normalized equivariant functions, and a strong emphasis is made on the connections to elliptic functions and their integrals.     

Baire functions and spaces of Baire functions

The paper considers (1) the tightness of spaces of Baire functions and their subspaces endowed with the topology of pointwise convergence; (2) Z _σ-mappings of K-analytic spaces; (3) K _σ-analytic spaces (Tychonoff spaces that are Z _σ-images of K-analytic spaces). __________ Translated from Fundamentalnaya i Prikladnaya Matematika, Vol. 9, No. 4, pp. 3–39, 2003.     

Construction of bent functions from near-bent functions

We give a construction of bent functions in dimension 2m from near-bent functions in dimension 2m−1. In particular, we give the first ever examples of non-weakly-normal bent functions in dimensions 10 and 12, which demonstrates the significance of our construction.     

Approximation of analytic functions by Laguerre functions

We will solve the inhomogeneous Laguerre differential equation and apply this result to prove that if a function can be represented by a power series whose radius of convergence is larger than 1, then the function can be approximated, on the interval [0, 1), by a Laguerre function with an error bound C x for some constant C > 0.     

Meromorphic functions sharing small functions

Let f and g be meromorphic functions sharing four small functions a₁, a₂, a₃, a₄ a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4 ignoring multiplicities. If there is a small function a₅a_5 distinct from a_j, j=1, 2, 3, 4, a_j, j=1, 2, 3, 4, such that [`(N)](r,f=a<sub>5</sub>=g) 1 S(r,f) \overline {N}(r,f=a_5=g)\ne S(r,f) , then f=g f=g , where [`(N)](r,f=a₅=g) \overline{N}(r,f=a_5=g) is the counting function of those common zeros of f(z)-a₅(z) f(z)-a_5(z) and g(z)-a₅(z) g(z)-a_5(z) counted only once ignoring multiplicities.     

Derivatives of meromorphic functions and exponential functions

We take up a new method to prove a Picard type theorem. Let f be a meromorphic function in the complex plane, whose zeros are multiple, and let R be a Möbius transformation. If \({\overline {\lim } _{r \to \infty }}\frac{{T\left( {r,f} \right)}}{{{r^2}}} = \infty \) then f′z) = R(e ^z ) has infinitely many solutions in the complex plane.     

Sequences of semicontinuous functions accompanying continuous functions

A space X is said to have property (USC) (resp. (LSC)) if whenever is a sequence of upper (resp. lower) semicontinuous functions from X into the closed unit interval [0,1] converging pointwise to the constant function 0 with the value 0, there is a sequence of continuous functions from X into [0,1] such that fn?gn (n∈ω) and converges pointwise to 0. In this paper, we study spaces having these properties and related ones. In particular, we show that (a) for a subset X of the real line, X has property (USC) if and only if it is a σ-set; (b) if X is a space of non-measurable cardinal and has property (LSC), then it is discrete. Our research comes of Scheepers' conjecture on properties S₁(Γ,Γ) and wQN.     

Convex functions and subharmonic functions

It is a classical result that a composition of a convex, increasing function and of a subharmonic function is subharmonic. We give related results for a composition of a convex function of several variables and of several subharmonic functions, thus imporving some recent results in this area.     

Families of meromorphic functions avoiding continuous functions

Leth ₁,h ₂ andh ₃ be continuous functions from the unit disk D into the Riemann sphereC such thath _i(z) ≠ h_j(z) (i ≠ j) for eachz∈D. We prove that the setF of all functionsf meromorphic on D such thatf(z)≠h _j (z) for allz ∈ D andj=1,2,3 is a normal family. The result and the method of the proof extend to quasimeromorphic functions in higher dimensions as well. The second author was supported by a Heisenberg fellowship of the DFG. The fourth author was partially supported by the Marsden Fund, New Zealand. This research was completed while the authors were attending a conference at Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach in Germany. The authors would like to express their sincere thanks to the Institute for providing a stimulating atmosphere and for its kind hospitality.
