We generalize the classical Bernstein theorem concerning the constructive description of classes of functions uniformly continuous on the real line. The approximation of continuous bounded functions by entire functions of exponential type on unbounded closed proper subsets of the real line is studded.
Let $F\subset\Bbb C^n$ be a proper closed subset of $\Bbb C^n$ and $A\subset\Bbb C^n\setminus F$ at most countable ($n\geq 2$). We give conditions of $F$ and $A$, under which there exists a holomorphic immersion (or a proper holomorphic embedding) $ϕ:\Bbb C\to\Bbb C^n$ with $A\subsetϕ(\Bbb C)\subset\Bbb C^n\setminus F$.
A scale of the Frechet spaces of exponential type entire functions of one complex variable is considered. Certain special properties of subsets of these spaces consisting of Laguerre entire functions, which are obtained as uniform limits on compact subsets of the complex plane of polynomials with real nonpositive zeros only, are described. A class of infinite order differential operators which act between these Frechet spaces is inrtoduced and studied. In particular, it is shown that this class preserves the set of Laguerre entire functions. The results obtained are then used to obtain and to …
We introduce a new class of entire functions $\mathcal{E}$ which consists of all $F_0\in\mathcal{O}(\mathbb{C})$ for which there exists a sequence $(F_n)\in \mathcal{O}(\mathbb{C})$ and a sequence $(λ_n)\in\mathbb{C}$ satisfying $F_n(z)=λ_{n+1}e^{F_{n+1}(z)}$ for all $n\geq 0$. This new class is closed under the composition and its is dense in the space of all non-vanishing entire functions. We prove that every closed set $V\subset \mathbb{C}$ containing the origin and at least one more point is the set of singular values of some locally univalent function in $\mathcal{E}$, hence this new clas…
Let $Z$ and $W$ be a pair of point distributions of finite upper density on the complex plane $\mathbb C$ with the real axis $\mathbb R$. We give several variants of necessary and at the same time sufficient conditions for their arrangement, under which for every entire function of exponential type $g\neq 0$ vanishing on $W$, there is, respectively, either an entire function of exponential type $f\neq 0$ vanishing on $Z$ and satisfies one of the two variants of the constraints: 1) $|f(iy)|\leq |g(iy)|$ at each $y\in \mathbb R$, i.e. everywhere on the imaginary axis $i\mathbb R$, 2) $\ln |f(iy)…
A simple proof is given of the known fact that an m-times continuously differentiable function on the real line can be approximated along with its derivatives by an entire function and its respective derivatives.
In this paper we define the notion of non-thin at $\infty$ as follows: Let $E$ be a subset of $\Bbb C^m$. For any $R>0$ define $E_R=E\cap \{z\in \Bbb C ^m :|z|\leq R\}$. We say that $E$ is non-thin at $\infty$ if \lim_{R\to\infty}V_{E_R}(z)=0 for all $z\in \Bbb C^m$, where $V_E$ is the pluricomplex Green function of $E$. This definition of non-thin at $\infty$ has good properties: If $E\subset \Bbb C^m$ is non-thin at $\infty$ and $A$ is pluripolar then $E\backslash A$ is non-thin at $\infty$, if $E\subset \Bbb C^m$ and $F\subset \Bbb C^n$ are closed sets non-thin at $\infty$ then $E\times F\s…
Let $Z$ and $W$ are distributions of points on the complex plane $\mathbb C$. The following problem goes back to the studies of F. Carlson, T. Carleman, L. Schwartz, A. F. Leont'ev, B. Ya. Levin, J.-P. Kahane and others. For which $Z$ and $W$ for an entire function $g\neq 0$ of exponential type vanishing on $W$, there is an entire function $f\neq 0$ of exponential type vanishing on $Z$ such that $|f|\leq |g|$ on the imaginary axis? The classical Malliavin-Rubel theorem of the early 1960s completely solves this problem for "positive" $Z$ and $W$ lying only on the positive semiaxis. A number of …
We find the intervals $[α, β(α)]$ such that if a univariate real polynomial or entire function $f(z) = a_0 + a_1 z + a_2 z^2 + \cdots $ with positive coefficients satisfy the conditions $ \frac{a_{k-1}^2}{a_{k-2}a_{k}} \in [α, β(α)]$ for all $k \geq 2,$ then $f$ belongs to the Laguerre--Pólya class. For instance, from J.I.~Hutchinson's theorem, one can observe that $f$ belongs to the Laguerre--Pólya class (has only real zeros) when $q_k(f) \in [4, + \infty).$ We are interested in finding those intervals which are not subsets of $[4, + \infty).$
This paper develops further the theory of the automorphic group of non-constant entire functions. This theory essentially started with two remarkable papers of Tatsujirô Shimizu that were published in 1931. There are three results in this paper. The first result is that the ${\rm Aut}(f)$-orbit of any complex number has no finite accumulation point. The second result is an accurate computation of the derivative of an automorphic function of an entire function at any of its fixed points. The third result gives the precise form of an automorphic function that is uniform over an open subset of $\…
Let $F$ be an entire function represented by absolutely convergent for all $z\in\mathbb{C}$ Dirichlet series of the form $ F(z) = \sum\nolimits_{n=0}^{+\infty} a_{n}e^{zλ_{n}},$\ where a sequence $(λ_n)$ such that $λ_n\in\mathbb{R}\ \ (n\geq0)$, $λ_n\not=λ_k$ for any $n\not=k$ and $(\forall n\geq 0):\ 0\leqλ_n<β:=\sup\{λ_j:\ j\geq0\}\leq +\infty.$ {Let $h$ be non-decrease positive continuous function on $[0,+\infty)$ and $Φ$ increase positive continuous on $[0,+\infty)$ function.} In this paper we {find} the condition {on} $(μ_n)$ and $(λ_n)$ {such that} the relation $F(x+iy)=(1+o(1))a_{ν(x, F…
Let $X, Y$ be two complex manifolds, let $D\subset X,$ $ G\subset Y$ be two nonempty open sets, let $A$ (resp. $B$) be an open subset of $\partial D$ (resp. $\partial G$), and let $W$ be the 2-fold cross $((D\cup A)\times B)\cup (A\times(B\cup G)).$ Under a geometric condition on the boundary sets $A$ and $B,$ we show that every function locally bounded, separately continuous on $W,$ continuous on $A\times B,$ and separately holomorphic on $(A\times G) \cup (D\times B)$ "extends" to a function continuous on a "domain of holomorphy" $\hat{W}$ and holomorphic on the interior of $\hat{W}.$
We consider a continuous function $f$ on a domain in $\mathbf C^n$ satisfying the inequality that $|\bar \partial f|\leq |f|$ off its zero set. The main conclusion is that the zero set of $f$ is a complex variety. We also obtain removable singularity theorem of Rado type for J-holomorphic maps. Let $Ω$ be an open subset in $\mathbf C$ and let $E$ be a closed polar subset of $Ω$. Let $u$ be a continuous map from $Ω$ into an almost complex manifold $(M,J)$ with $J$ of class $C^1$. We show that if $u$ is J-holomorphic on $Ω\setminus E$ then it is J-holomorphic on $Ω$.
The escaping set of an entire function is the set of points that tend to infinity under iteration. We consider subsets of the escaping set defined in terms of escape rates and obtain upper and lower bounds for the Hausdorff measure of these sets with respect to certain gauge functions.
Previously, we developed the technique of balayage of measures or charges and ($δ$-)subharmonic functions of finite order onto an closed system of rays $S$ with a vertex at zero on the complex plane $\mathbb C$. In this article, we use only two kinds of balayage of measure and charge, as well as of subharmonic functions of finite type under the order $1$ and their differences. First, it is a classical balayage of the genus $q=0$ on a system of four closed rays: positive and negative, and real and imaginary semi-axis $\mathbb R^+$, $-\mathbb R^+$, $i\mathbb R^+$, $-i\mathbb R$. Second, it is tw…
We study infinite order differential operators acting in the spaces of exponential type entire functions. We derive conditions under which such operators preserve the set of Laguerre entire functions which consists of the polynomials possessing real nonpositive zeros only and of their uniform limits on compact subsets of the complex plane. We obtain integral representations of some particular cases of these operators and apply these results to obtain explicit solutions to some Cauchy problems for diffusion equations with nonconstant drift term.
We discuss an example related to the method of Brody. The example is an open subset of a compact complex torus which is covered by entire curves, but not by Brody curves.
We apply Rossi's half-plane version of Borel's Theorem to study the zero distribution of linear combinations of $\mathcal{A}$-entire functions (Theorem 1.2). This provides a unified way to study linear $q$-difference, difference and differential operators (with entire coefficients) preserving subsets of $\mathcal{A}$-entire functions, and hence obtain several analogous results for the Hermite-Poulain Theorem to linear finite ($q$-)difference operators with polynomial coefficients. The method also produces a result on the existence of infinitely many non-real zeros of some differential polynomi…
We show that, if the Julia set of a transcendental entire function is locally connected, then it takes the form of a spider's web in the sense defined by Rippon and Stallard. In the opposite direction, we prove that a spider's web Julia set is always locally connected at a dense subset of buried points. We also show that the set of buried points (the residual Julia set) can be a spider's web.
It is known that, for many transcendental entire functions in the Eremenko-Lyubich class $\mathcal{B}$, every escaping point can eventually be connected to infinity by a curve of escaping points. When this is the case, we say that the functions are criniferous. In this paper, we extend this result to a new class of maps in $\mathcal{B}$. Furthermore, we show that if a map belongs to this class, then its Julia set contains a Cantor bouquet; in other words, it is a subset of $\mathbb{C}$ ambiently homeomorphic to a straight brush.
We prove that if $(φ_n)_{n=0}^\infty, \; φ_0 \equiv 1, $ is a basis in the space of entire functions of $d$ complex variables, $d\geq 1,$ then for every compact $K\subset \mathbb{C}^d$ there is a compact $K_1 \supset K$ such that for every entire function $f= \sum_{n=0}^\infty f_n φ_n$ we have $\sum_{n=0}^\infty |f_n|\, \sup_{K}|φ_n| \leq \sup_{K_1} |f|.$ A similar assertion holds for bases in the space of global analytic functions on a Stein manifold with the Liouville Property.
In this paper we study nonlinear interpolation problems for interpolation and peak-interpolation sets of function algebras. The subject goes back to the classical Rudin-Carleson interpolation theorem. In particular, we prove the following nonlinear version of this theorem: Let $\bar{\mathbb D}\subset \mathbb C$ be the closed unit disk, $\mathbb T\subset\bar{\mathbb D}$ the unit circle, $S\subset\mathbb T$ a closed subset of Lebesgue measure zero and $M$ a connected complex manifold. Then for every continuous $M$-valued map $f$ on $S$ there exists a continuous $M$-valued map $g$ on $\bar{\mathb…
We partition the fast escaping set of a transcendental entire function into two subsets, the maximally fast escaping set and the non-maximally fast escaping set. These sets are shown to have strong dynamical properties. We show that the intersection of the Julia set with the non-maximally fast escaping set is never empty. The proof uses a new covering result for annuli, which is of wider interest. It was shown by Rippon and Stallard that the fast escaping set has no bounded components. In contrast, by studying a function considered by Hardy, we give an example of a transcendental entire functi…
In this note, we establish the following Second Main Theorem type estimate for every entire non-algebraically degenerate holomorphic curve $f\colon\mathbb{C}\rightarrow\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{C})$, in present of a {\sl generic} hypersuface $D\subset\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{C})$ of sufficiently high degree $d\geq 15(5n+1)n^n$: \[ T_f(r) \leq \,N_f^{[1]}(r,D) + O\big(\log T_f(r) + \log r \big)\parallel, \] where $T_f(r)$ and $N_f^{[1]}(r,D)$ stand for the order function and the $1$-truncated counting function in Nevanlinna theory. This inequality quantifies recent results on the logarithmic Green--Grif…
