On a generalized homogeneous Hahn polynomial

We investigate a generalized homogeneous Hahn polynomial in some detail. This polynomial includes as special cases the homogeneous Hahn polynomial and the homogeneous Rogers-Szeg o polynomial.A generating function, which contains a known generating function as a special case, is given. We also give a finite series generating function. Some results on the asymptotic expansion for this polynomial are derived.Certain results on zeros are also obtained. We deduce several results on zeros of certain ...     

On Jacobi and continuous Hahn polynomials

Jacobi polynomials are mapped onto the continuous Hahn polynomials by the Fourier transform, and the orthogonality relations for the continuous Hahn polynomials then follow from the orthogonality relations for the Jacobi polynomials and the Parseval formula. In a special case this relation dates back to work by Bateman in 1933 and we follow a part of the historical development for these polynomials. Some applications of this relation are given.

     

On the colored Tutte polynomial of a graph of bounded treewidth

We observe that a formula given by Negami [Polynomial invariants of graphs, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 299 (1987) 601-622] for the Tutte polynomial of a k-sum of two graphs generalizes to a colored Tutte polynomial. Consequently, an algorithm of Andrzejak [An algorithm for the Tutte polynomials of graphs of bounded treewidth, Discrete Math. 190 (1998) 39-54] may be directly adapted to compute the colored Tutte polynomial of a graph of bounded treewidth in polynomial time. This result has also been proven by Makowsky [Colored Tutte polynomials and Kauffman brackets for graphs of bounded tree width, Discrete Appl. Math. 145 (2005) 276-290], using a different algorithm based on logical techniques.     

On the localization of discontinuities of the first kind for a function of bounded variation

Methods of the localization (detection of positions) of discontinuities of the first kind for a univariate function of bounded variation are constructed and investigated. Instead of an exact function, its approximation in L ₂(?∞,+∞) and the error level are known. We divide the discontinuities into two sets, one of which contains discontinuities with the absolute value of the jump greater than some positive Δ^min; the other set contains discontinuities satisfying a smallness condition for the value of the jump. It is required to find the number of discontinuities in the former set and localize them using the approximately given function and the error level. Since the problem is ill-posed, regularizing algorithms should be used for its solution. Under additional conditions on the exact function, we construct regular methods for the localization of discontinuities and obtain estimates for the accuracy of localization and for the separability threshold, which is another important characteristic of the method. The (order) optimality of the constructed methods on the classes of functions with singularities is established.     

Asymptotics of the Fourier sine transform of a function of bounded variation

For the asymptotic formula for the Fourier sine transform of a function of bounded variation, we find a new proof entirely within the framework of the theory of Hardy spaces, primarily with the use of the Hardy inequality. We show that, for a function of bounded variation whose derivative lies in the Hardy space, every aspect of the behavior of its Fourier transform can somehow be expressed in terms of the Hilbert transform of the derivative.     

On continuous descent functions for polynomial equations

In his recent book, Henrici (1974) gave an axiomatic treatment of the method of descent applied to the solution of polynomial equations, dealing in particular with the non-existence of continuous descent functions defined on the whole complex plane. This note presents an alternative account of this question, in which a somewhat stronger theorem is proved. At the same time, a certain problematical step, to which Henrici himself drew attention, is avoided.

---

Zusammenfassung Henrici (1974) gibt in einem kürzlich erschienenen Buch eine axiomatische Behandlung der Absteigungsmethode zur Lösung von Polynomialgleichungen. Dort wird insbesondere die Nichtexistenz von stetigen Absteigungsfunktionen, die auf der ganzen komplexen Ebene definiert sind, behandelt. In dieser Arbeit wird das gleiche Problem von einem anderen Standpunkt aus betrachtet, und es wird ein etwas stärkerer Satz bewiesen. Dabei wird eine kleine Schwierigkeit vermieden, auf die Henrici selber aufmerksam gemacht hat.

     

On the coefficients of a bounded univalent analytic function

LetF _M denote the class of univalent analytic functionsf in |z|<1 with the expansionf (z)=z+a ₂ z ²+a ₃ z ³+... and |f(z)|?M in |z|<1. In this note I derive a rough bound for alln-th coefficients and a more accurate bound for all the third coefficients of functionsf belonging toF _M.     

Uniformly continuous superposition operators in the space of bounded variation functions

Let I, J ? ? be intervals. The main result says that if a superposition operator H generated by a function of two variables h: I × J → ?, H (φ)(x) ? h (x, φ (x)), maps the set BV (I, J) of all bounded variation functions, φ: I → J into the Banach space BV (I, ?) and is uniformly continuous with respect to the BV ‐norm, then h (x, y) = a (x)y + b (x), x ∈ I, y ∈ J, for some a, b ∈ BV (I, ?)

On differential properties of functions of bounded variation

It is established that Karagulyan??s exact estimate of the divergence rate of strong integral means of summable functions is extendable to strong means of additive functions of intervals having bounded variation. Furthermore, it is proved that each function defined on [0, 1] ⁿ with bounded variation in the sense of Hardy has a strong gradient at almost every point (this strengthens the corresponding result of Burkill and Haslam-Jones on the differentiability almost everywhere), whereas the same is not true for functions with bounded variation in the sense of Arzela.     

Box dimensions of Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals of continuous functions of bounded variation

If a continuous function f(x) has bounded variation on the unit interval [0,1], the box dimension of f(x) is 1. Furthermore, the box dimension of a Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of f(x) is still 1.     

On the topology of a generic fibre of a polynomial function

In this work we study the topologies of the fibres of some families of complex polynomial functions with isolated critical points. We consider polynomials with some transversality conditions at infinity and compute explicitly its global Milnor number μ(f). the invariant λ(f) and therefore the Euler characteristic of its generic fibre. We show that under some mild ransversality condition (transversal at infinity) the behavior of f at infinity is good and the topology of the generic fibre is determined by the two homogeneous parts of higher degree of f Finally we study families of polynomials, called two-term polynomials. This polynomials may have atypical values at infinity. Given such a two-term polynomial f we characterize its atypical values by some invariants of f. These polynomials are a source of interesting examples.     

On a generalization of the class of functions with bounded Mocanu variation

The object of this paper is to generalise the well-known class of functions analytic in the unit disc having bounded Mocanu variation. Certain properties of this more general class are investigated using convolution techniques.

On certain spaces of vector measures of bounded variation

If (Σ,X) is a measurable space and X a Banach space we investigate the X-inheritance of copies of ?_∞ in certain subspaces Δ(Σ,X) of bvca(Σ,X), the Banach space of all X-valued countable additive measures of bounded variation equipped with the variation norm. Among the consequences of our main theorem we get a theorem of J. Mendoza on the X-inheritance of copies of ?_∞ in the Bochner space L₁(μ,X) and other of the author on the X-inheritance of copies of ?_∞ in bvca(Σ,X).
