О раэложении мероморфных функций специального вида на простейщие дроби

The paper is devoted to study the entire functions L(λ) with simple real zeros λ_k, k = 1, 2, ..., that admit an expansion of Krein’s type: $$\frac{1}{{\mathcal{L}(\lambda )}} = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty {\frac{{c_k }}{{\lambda - \lambda _k }}} ,\sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty {\left| {c_k } \right| < \infty } .$$ We present a criterion for these expansions in terms of the sequence {L′ (λ _k )} _k=1 ^∞ . We show that this criterion is applicable to certain classes of meromorphic functions and make more precise a theorem of Sedletski? on the annihilating property in L ² systems of exponents.     

On the simpleness of zeros of Stokes multipliers

The aim of this paper is to discuss the simpleness of zeros of Stokes multipliers associated with the differential equation -Φ^″(X)+W(X)Φ(X)=0, where W(X)=X^m+a₁X^m-1+?+a_m is a real monic polynomial. We show that, under a suitable hypothesis on the coefficients a_k, all the zeros of the Stokes multipliers are simple.     

On the zeros of basic finite Hankel transforms

In this article we prove that the basic finite Hankel transform whose kernel is the third-type Jackson q-Bessel function has only infinitely many real and simple zeros, provided that q satisfies a condition additional to the standard one. We also study the asymptotic behavior of the zeros. The obtained results are applied to investigate the zeros of q-Bessel functions as well as the zeros of q-trigonometric functions. A basic analog of a theorem of G. Pólya (1918) on the zeros of sine and cosine transformations is also given.     

Exceptional functions and normal families of meromorphic functions with multiple zeros

Let k be a positive integer with k?2; let h(?0) be a holomorphic function which has no simple zeros in D; and let F be a family of meromorphic functions defined in D, all of whose poles are multiple, and all of whose zeros have multiplicity at least k+1. If, for each function f∈F, f(k)(z)≠h(z), then F is normal in D.     

Kinklike solutions of fourth-order differential equations with a cubic bistable nonlinearity

For the equation y ⁽⁴⁾+2y(y ²?1) = 0, we suggest an analytic construction of kinklike solutions (solutions bounded on the entire line and having finitely many zeros) in the form of rapidly convergent series in products of exponential and trigonometric functions. We show that, to within sign and shift, kinklike solutions are uniquely characterized by the tuple of integers n ₁, …, n _k (the integer parts of distances, divided by π, between the successive zeros of these solutions). The positivity of the spatial entropy indicates the existence of chaotic solutions of this equation.     

Normal families of meromorphic functions with multiple values

Let F be a family of meromorphic functions defined in a domain D, let ψ(?0) be a holomorphic function in D, and k be a positive integer. Suppose that, for every function f∈F, f≠0, f(k)≠0, and all zeros of f(k)−ψ(z) have multiplicities at least (k+2)/k. If, for k=1, ψ has only zeros with multiplicities at most 2, and for k?2, ψ has only simple zeros, then F is normal in D. This improves and generalizes the related results of Gu, Fang and Chang, Yang, Schwick, et al.     

Zero-free regions of derivatives of Riemann zeta function

Zero-free regions of thekth derivative of the Riemann zeta function ζ^(k)(s) are investigated. It is proved that fork≥3, ζ^(k)(s) has no zero in the region Res≥(1·1358826...)k+2. This result is an improvement upon the hitherto known zero-free region Res≥(7/4)k+2 on the right of the imaginary axis. The known zero-free region on the left of the imaginary axis is also improved by proving that ζ ^k)(s) may have at the most a finite number of non-real zeros on the left of the imaginary axis which are confined to a semicircle of finite radiusr _k centred at the origin.     

A Criterion of Normality Concerning Holomorphic Functions Whose Derivative Omit a Function II

The authors discuss the normality concerning holomorphic functions and get the following result. Let F be a family of functions holomorphic on a domain D ? ?, all of whose zeros have multiplicity at least k, where k ?? 2 is an integer. Let h(z) ? 0 and ?? be a meromorphic function on D. Assume that the following two conditions hold for every f ?? F: $$ \begin{gathered} (a)f(z) = 0 \Rightarrow |f^{(k)} (z)| < |h(z)|. \hfill \\ (b)f^{(k)} (z) \ne h(z). \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ Then F is normal on D.     

Oscillatory solutions of nonhomogeneous linear differential equations

The complex oscillation of nonhomogeneous linear differential equations with transcendental coefficients is discussed. Results concerning the equation f ^(k)+a _k−1 f ^(k−1)+...+a ₀ f=F where a ₀,...,a _k−i and Fare entire functions, possessing an oscillatory solution subspace in which all solutions (with at most one exception) have infinite exponent of convergence of zeros are obtained. All solutions of the equation are also characterized when the coefficients a ₀,a ₁,...,a _k−1 are polynomials and F=h exp (p ₀), where p ₀ is a polynomial and h is an entire function.

On Oscillation of Functions with Bounded Spectral Band

In this paper, we consider extremal oscillatory properties of functions with bounded spectrum, i.e., with bounded support (in the sense of distributions) of the Fourier transform. For such functions f, we give criteria of extendability of }f} from the real axis to a function F on the complex plane with derivatives F ^(m) having no real zeros and without enlarging the width of spectrum. In particular, we give examples of functions $f$ from the real Paley–Wiener space such that every function f ^(m), m=0, 1,..., has a finite number of real zeros.     

On the successive coefficients of close-to-convex functions

Let f∈S, f be a close-to-convex function, f_k(z)=[f(z^k)]^1/k. The relative growth of successive coefficients of f_k(z) is investigated. The sharp estimate of ||c_n+1|−|c_n|| is obtained by using the method of the subordination function.     

Normal families and value distribution in connection with composite functions

We prove a value distribution result which has several interesting corollaries. Let k∈N, let α∈C and let f be a transcendental entire function with order less than 1/2. Then for every nonconstant entire function g, we have that (f○g)^(k)−α has infinitely many zeros. This result also holds when k=1, for every transcendental entire function g. We also prove the following result for normal families. Let k∈N, let f be a transcendental entire function with ρ(f)<1/k, and let a₀,…,ak−1,a be analytic functions in a domain Ω. Then the family of analytic functions g such that

     

Applications of branched values to p-adic functional equations on analytic functions

Let \(\mathbb{K}\) be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, complete with respect to an ultrametric absolute value. Results on branched values obtained in a previous paper are used to prove that algebraic functional equations of the form g ^q = hf ^q + w have no solution among transcendental entire functions f, g or among unbounded analytic functions inside an open disk, when w is a polynomial or a bounded analytic function and h is a polynomial or an analytic function whose zeros are of order multiple of q. We also show that an analytic function whose zeros are multiple of an integer q inside a disk is the q-th power of another analytic function, provided q is a prime to the residue characteristic.     

SOME NORMALITY CRITERIA OF MEROMORPHIC FUNCTIONS

Let F be a family of functions meromorphic in a domain D, let n ≥ 2 be a positive integer, and let a ≠ 0, b be two finite complex numbers. If, for each f ∈ F, all of whose zeros have multiplicity at least k ＋ 1, and f ＋ a（f^（k））^n≠b in D, then F is normal in D.     

On the Explicit Determination of Certain Solutions of Periodic Differential Equations of Higher Order

We consider the class of differential equations $ y^{(k)}+\Sigma_{k- 2}^{\nu=1}A_{\nu}y^{(\nu)}+A_0(z)y=0\ {\rm where}\ A_{1},\dots,A_{k- 2}$ are constants, k ≥ 3 and where A₀(z) is a non-constant periodic entire function, which is a rational function of e ^z. In this paper we develop a method that enables us to decide if this equation can have solutions with few zeros, and we also present the construction of these solutions.     

Bank-Laine functions with periodic zero-sequences

A Bank-Laine function is an entire function E such that E(z) = 0 implies that E’(z) = ±1. Such functions arise as the product of linearly independent solutions of a second order linear differential equation ω″ + A(z)ω = 0 with A entire. Suppose that $$E(z)=R(z)e^{g(z)}\prod_{j=1}^m \prod_{k=1}^{q_j}(e^{\alpha_jz}-\beta_{j,k}),$$ where R is a rational function, g is a polynomial, and the α_j and β_j,k are non-zero complex numbers, and that E’(z) = ±1 at all but finally many zeros z of E. Then the quotients α_j/α_j′ are all rational numbers and E is a Bank-Laine function and reduces to the form E(z) = P₀ (e^αz) e^Q ₀(z) with α a non-zero complex number and P₀ and Q₀ polynomials.     

A result on common zeros location of orthogonal polynomials in two variables

The aim of this paper is to investigate some general properties of common zeros of orthogonal polynomials in two variables for any given region D⊂R² from a view point of invariant factor. An important result is shown that if X₀ is a common zero of all the orthogonal polynomials of degree k then the intersection of any line passing through X₀ and D is not empty. This result can be used to settle the problem of location of common zeros of orthogonal polynomials in two variables. The main result of the paper can be considered as an extension of the univariate case.     

A Criterion of Normality Concerning Holomorphic Functions Whose Derivative Omits a Function

The authors discuss the normality concerning holomorphic functions and get the following result. Let F be a family of holomorphic functions on a domain D ⊂ ℂ, all of whose zeros have multiplicity at least k, where k ≥ 2 is an integer. And let h(z) ≢ 0 be a holomorphic function on D. Assume also that the following two conditions hold for every f ∈ F: (a) f(z) = 0 ⇒ |f ^(k)(z)| < |h(z)|; (b) f ^(k)(z) ≠ h(z). Then F is normal on D.     

Formulas for sums of powers of integers by functional equations

This paper presents a direct and simple approach to obtaining the formulas forS _k(n)= 1 ^k + 2 ^k + ... +n ^k wheren andk are nonnegative integers. A functional equation is written based on the functional properties ofS _k (n) and several methods of solution are presented. These lead to several recurrence relations for the functions and a simple one-step differential-recurrence relation from which the polynomials can easily be computed successively. Arbitrary constants which arise are (almost) the Bernoulli numbers when evaluated and identities for these modified Bernoulli numbers are obtained. The functional equation for the formulas leads to another functional equation for the generating function for these formulas and this is used to obtain the generating functions for theS _k 's and for the modified Bernoulli numbers. This leads to an explicit representation, not a recurrence relation, for the modified Bernoulli numbers which then yields an explicit formula for eachS _k not depending on the earlier ones. This functional equation approach has been and can be applied to more general types of arithmetic sequences and many other types of combinatorial functions, sequences, and problems.
