On the asymptotics of the rows of the Padé table of analytic functions with logarithmic branch points

For the functions $ f(z) = \sum\nolimits_{n = 0}^\infty {z^{l_n } } /a_n $ , where l _n and a _n are arithmetic progressions and their Padé approximants π _n,m (z; f), we establish an asymptotics of the decrease of the difference f(z) ? π _n,m (z; f) for the case in which z ∈ D = {z: |z| < 1}, m is fixed, and n → ∞. In particular, we obtain proximate orders of decrease of best uniform rational approximations to the functions ln(1 ? z) and arctan z in the disk D _q = {z: |z| ≤ q < 1}.     

On the equivalence of the Euler-Pommier operators in spaces of analytic functions

In the space A (θ) of all one-valued functions f(z) analytic in an arbitrary region G ? ? (0 ∈ G) with the topology of compact convergence, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the equivalence of the operators L ₁=α _n z ⁿ Δ ⁿ + ... + α₁ zΔ+α₀ E and L ₂= z ⁿ a _n (z)Δ ⁿ + ... + za ₁(z)Δ+a ₀(z)E, where δ: (Δ?)(z)=(f(z)-?(0))/z is the Pommier operator in A(G), n ∈ ?, α _n ∈ ?, a _k (z) ∈ A(G), 0≤k≤n, and the following condition is satisfied: Σ _j=s ^n?1 α _j+1 ∈ 0, s=0,1,...,n?1. We also prove that the operators z ^s+1Δ+β(z)E, β(z) ∈ A _R , s ∈ ?, and z ^s+1 are equivalent in the spaces A _R, 0?R?-∞, if and only if β(z) = 0.     

Об оценках проиэведений модулей нулей функций иэ пространств Бергмана и более общих пространств

We consider functions f(z) (f(0) = 1, |z| < 1) from spaces endowed with mixed norm; in particular, the Bergmann-Dzharbashian space, with zeroes z _k (f) (|z ₁(f)| ≤ |z ₂(f)| ≤ ...). We construct examples of such functions f that the products $$\pi n(f) = \left( {\left| {z_1 \left( f \right)} \right|} \right) \cdots \left( {\left| {z_n \left( f \right)} \right|} \right)^{ - 1}$$ have a well defined order of magnitude as n→∞ with respect to certain subsequences of n. We also establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such subsequences. These results are applied to study a number of spaces under consideration.     

Coefficient characterizations and sections for some univalent functions

Let (α) denote the class of locally univalent normalized analytic functions f in the unit disk |z| < 1 satisfying the condition $Re\left( {1 + \frac{{zf''(z)}} {{f'(z)}}} \right) < 1 + \frac{\alpha } {2}for|z| < 1 $ and for some 0 < α ≤ 1. We firstly prove sharp coefficient bounds for the moduli of the Taylor coefficients a _n of f ∈ (α). Secondly, we determine the sharp bound for the Fekete-Szegö functional for functions in (α) with complex parameter λ. Thirdly, we present a convolution characterization for functions f belonging to (α) and as a consequence we obtain a number of sufficient coefficient conditions for f to belong to (α). Finally, we discuss the close-to-convexity and starlikeness of partial sums of f ∈ (α). In particular, each partial sum s _n (z) of f ∈ (1) is starlike in the disk |z| ≤ 1/2 for n ≥ 11. Moreover, for f ∈ (1), we also have Re(s′ _n (z)) > 0 in |z| ≤ 1/2 for n ≥ 11.     

On the radii of convexity and starlikeness for some special classes of analytic functions in a disk

We introduce the class O _α, 0≤α≤1, of functions w=?(z), ?(0)=0, ?′(0)=0,..., ? ₍₀₎ ^(n?1) =0, f ⁽ⁿ⁾(0)=(n-l)! analytic in the disk |z|<1 and satisfying the condition $$\operatorname{Re} \left( {\frac{{1 - 2z^n \cos \Theta + z^{2n} }}{{z^{n - 1} }}f'(z)} \right) > \alpha , 0 \leqslant \Theta \leqslant \pi , n = 1,2,3,... .$$ We establish the radius of convexity in the class Oα and the radius of starlikeness in the class Uα of functions σ(z)=z?′(z), ?(z)?O _α.     

On systems of finite sets with constraints on their unions and intersections

Let F be a family of subsets of an n-element set. F is said to be of type (n, r, s) if A ∈ F, B ∈ F implies that |A ∪ B| ? n ? r, and |A ∩ B| ? s. Let f(n, r, s) = max {|F| : F is of type (n, r, s)}. We prove that f(n, r, s) ? f(n ? 1, r ? 1, s) + f(n ? 1, r + 1, s) if r > 0, n > s. And this result is used to give simple and unified proofs of Katona's and Frankl's results on f(n, r, s) when s = 0 and s = 1.     

The support points of several classes of analytic functions with fixed coefficients

Let B denote the set of functions ?(z) that are analytic in the unit disk D and satisfy |?(z)|?1(|z|<1). Let P denote the set of functions p(z) that are analytic in D and satisfy p(0)=1 and Rep(z)>0(|z|<1). Let T denote the set of functions f(z) that are analytic in D, normalized by f(0)=0 and f^′(0)=1 and satisfy that f(z) is real if and only if z is real (|z|<1). In this article we investigate the support points of the subclasses of B, P and T of functions with fixed coefficients.     

Copositive pointwise approximation

We prove that if a functionf ∈C ⁽¹⁾ (I),I: = [?1, 1], changes its signs times (s ∈ ?) within the intervalI, then, for everyn > C, whereC is a constant which depends only on the set of points at which the function changes its sign, andk ∈ ?, there exists an algebraic polynomialP _n =P _n (x) of degree ≤n which locally inherits the sign off(x) and satisfies the inequality $$\left| {f\left( x \right) - P_n \left( x \right)} \right| \leqslant c\left( {s,k} \right)\left( {\frac{1}{{n^2 }} + \frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }}{n}} \right)\omega _k \left( {f'; \frac{1}{{n^2 }} + \frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }}{n}} \right), x \in I$$ , where ω _k (f′;t) is thekth modulus of continuity of the functionf’. It is also shown that iff ∈C (I) andf(x) ≥ 0,x ∈I then, for anyn ≥k ? 1, there exists a polynomialP _n =P _n (x) of degree ≤n such thatP _n (x) ≥ 0,x ∈I, and |f(x) ?P _n (x)| ≤c(k)ω _k (f;n ^?2 +n ^?1 √1 ?x ²),x ∈I.     

Complex oscillation of differential polynomials in the unit disc

We consider the complex differential equations f″ + A ₁(z)f′ + A ₀(z)f = F and where A ₀ ? 0, A ₁ and F are analytic functions in the unit disc Δ = {z: |z| < 1}. We obtain results on the order and the exponent of convergence of zero-points in Δ of the differential polynomials g _f = d ₂ f″ + d ₁ f′ + d ₀ f with non-simultaneously vanishing analytic coefficients d ₂, d ₁, d ₀. We answer a question posed by J. Tu and C. F. Yi in 2008 for the case of the second order linear differential equations in the unit disc.     

On estimates of lengths of lemniscates

For any natural number n and any C > 0, we obtain an integral formula for calculating the lengths |L(P _n , C)| of the lemniscates $$L\left( {P_n ,C} \right): = \left\{ {z:\left| {P_n \left( z \right)} \right| = C} \right\}$$ of algebraic polynomials P _n (z):= z ⁿ + c _n?1 z ^n?1 + ... + c ₀ in the complex variable z with complex coefficients c _j , j = 0, ..., n ? 1, and establish the upper bound for the quantities $$\lambda _n : = \sup \left\{ {\left| {L\left( {P_n ,1} \right)} \right|:P_n (z)} \right\},$$ which is currently best for 3 ≤ n ≤ 10¹⁴. We also study the properties of the derivative S′(C) of the area function S(C) of the set {z: |P _n (z)| ≤ C}.     

Punishing Factors for Finitely Connected Domains

Let Ω and Π be two finitely connected hyperbolic domains in the complex plane \Bbb C{\Bbb C} and let R(z, Ω) denote the hyperbolic radius of Ω at z and R(w, Π) the hyperbolic radius of Π at w. We consider functions f that are analytic in Ω and such that all values f(z) lie in the domain Π. This set of analytic functions is denoted by A(Ω, Π). We prove among other things that the quantities C_n(W,P) := sup_{f ? A(W,P)}sup_{z ? W}\frac|f⁽ⁿ⁾(z)| R(f(z),P)n! (R(z,W))ⁿC_n(\Omega,\Pi)\,:=\,\sup_{f\in A(\Omega,\Pi)}\sup_{z\in \Omega}\frac{\vert f^{(n)}(z)\vert\,R(f(z),\Pi)}{n!\,(R(z,\Omega))^n} are finite for all n ? \Bbb N{n \in {\Bbb N}} if and only if ∂Ω and ∂Π do not contain isolated points.     

Complete hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in spheres

To a given immersion ${i:M^n\to \mathbb S^{n+1}}$ with constant scalar curvature R, we associate the supremum of the squared norm of the second fundamental form sup |A|². We prove the existence of a constant C _n (R) depending on R and n so that R ≥ 1 and sup |A|² = C _n (R) imply that the hypersurface is a H(r)-torus ${\mathbb S^1(\sqrt{1-r^2})\times\mathbb S^{n-1} (r)}$ . For R > (n ? 2)/n we use rotation hypersurfaces to show that for each value C > C _n (R) there is a complete hypersurface in ${\mathbb S^{n+1}}$ with constant scalar curvature R and sup |A|² = C, answering questions raised by Q. M. Cheng.     

Existence Criterion for Estimates of Derivatives of Rational Functions

Suppose that K is a compact set in the open complex plane. In this paper, we prove an existence criterion for an estimate of Markov-Bernstein type for derivatives of a rational function R(z) at any fixed point z ₀ ∈ K. We prove that, for a fixed integer s, the estimate of the form |R ^(s) (z ₀)| ≤ C(K, z ₀, s)n‖R‖ _C(K), where R is an arbitrary rational function of degree n without poles on K and C is a bounded function depending on three arguments K, z ₀, and s, holds if and only if the supremum $$\omega (K,z_0 ,s) = \sup \left\{ {\frac{{\operatorname{dist} (z,K)}}{{\left| {z - z_0 } \right|^{s + 1} }}} \right\}$$ over z in the complement of K is finite. Under this assumption, C is less than or equal to const ·s!ω(K, z ₀, s).     

On the monotonicity of some functionals in the family of univalent functions

LetS denote the class of regular and univalent functions in |z|<1 with the normalizationf(0)=0,f′(0)=1. Denoted _f=inf _f∈s {|α||f(z)≠ α, |z|<1} and letS(d)={f¦f∈S,d _f=d, 1/4≦d≦1}. The analytic functionf(z) is univalent in |z|<1 if and only if $$log\frac{{f(z) - f(\zeta )}}{{z - \zeta }} = \sum\limits_{m,n = 0}^\infty {d_{mn} z^m \zeta ^n } $$ converges in the bicylinder |z|<1, |ξ|<1. LetC _mn =√mnd _mn andC _nn (d)= Max _fεS(d){Re(C _nn )}. The paper deals with the monotonicity ofc _nn(d) and related functionals.     

Factorization for non-nevanlinna classes of analytic functions

A generalization of the Blaschke product is constructed. This product enables one to factor out the zeros of the members of certain non-Nevanlinna classes of functions analytic in the unit disc, so that the remaining (non-vanishing) functions still belong to the same class. This is done for the classesA ⁻ⁿ (0<n<∞) andB ⁻ⁿ (0<n<2) defined as follows:f ∈A ⁻ⁿ iff |f(z)|≦C _f (1−|z|)⁻ⁿ ,f ∈B ⁻ⁿ iff |f(z)|≦exp {C _f (1−|z|)⁻ⁿ }, whereC _f depends onf.     

On power deformations of univalent functions

For an analytic function f (z) on the unit disk |z| < 1 with f (0) = f′(0) ? 1 = 0 and f (z) ≠ 0, 0 < |z| < 1, we consider the power deformation f _c (z) = z(f (z)/z) ^c for a complex number c. We determine those values c for which the operator \({f \mapsto f_c}\) maps a specified class of univalent functions into the class of univalent functions. A little surprisingly, we will see that the set is described by the variability region of the quantity zf′(z)/ f (z), |z| < 1, for most of the classes that we consider in the present paper. As an unexpected by-product, we show boundedness of strongly spirallike functions.     

Ruzsa’s constant on additive functions

A function f : N → R is called additive if f(mn)= f(m)+f(n)for all m, n with(m, n)= 1. Let μ(x)= max n≤x(f(n)f(n + 1))and ν(x)= max n≤x(f(n + 1)f(n)). In 1979, Ruzsa proved that there exists a constant c such that for any additive function f , μ(x)≤ cν(x 2 )+ c f , where c f is a constant depending only on f . Denote by R af the least such constant c. We call R af Ruzsa's constant on additive functions. In this paper, we prove that R af ≤ 20.     

On the Distribution of the Derivative Zeros of a Complex Polynomial

We consider the class S(n) of all complex polynomials of degree n > 1 having all their zeros in the closed unit disk ē. By S(n,β) we denote the subclass of p ? S(n) vanishing in the prescribed point β ? ē. For an arbitrary point α ? C and p ? S(n,β) let |p| _α be the distance of α and the set of zeros of P'. Then there exists some P ? S(n,β) with maximal |P|α. We give an estimation for the number of zeros of P on |z| = 1$ resp. P' on $ |z-α| = |P| _α .     

Minimal polynomials for compact sets of the complex plane

LetW _N(z)=a_Nz^N+... be a complex polynomial and letT _n be the classical Chebyshev polynomial. In this article it is shown that the polynomials (2a_N)^?n+1T_n(W_N), n ∈N, are minimal polynomials on all equipotential lines for {z∈C:|W _N(z)|≤1 Λ ImW _N(z)=0}     

Some Zygmund type inequalities for the <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis>th derivative of polynomials

For a polynomial P(z) of degree n having no zeros in |z| < 1, it was recently proved in [9] that

$$\left| {{z^s}{P^{\left( s \right)}}\left( z \right) + \beta \frac{{n\left( {n - 1} \right)...\left( {n - s + 1} \right)}}{{{2^s}}}P\left( z \right)} \right| \leqslant \frac{{n\left( {n - 1} \right)...\left( {n - s + 1} \right)}}{2}\left( {\left| {1 + \frac{\beta }{{{2^s}}}} \right| + \left| {\frac{\beta }{{{2^s}}}} \right|} \right)\mathop {\max }\limits_{\left| z \right| = 1} \left| {P\left( z \right)} \right|$$

for every β ∈ C with |β| ≤ 1, 1 ≤ s ≤ n and |z| = 1. In this paper, we obtain the L _p mean extension of the above and other related results for the sth derivative of polynomials.
