This paper is devoted to exceptional values of meromorphic functions and of their derivatives on annuli. Some facts on exceptional values for meromorphic functions in the complex plane which were established by Singh, Gopalakrishna and Bhoosnurmath [Math. Ann. 191 (1971), 121-142, and Ann. Polon. Math. 35 (1977/78), 99-105] will be considered on annuli.
It is well-known that the excursions of a one-dimensional diffusion process can be studied by considering a certain Riccati equation associated with the process. We show that, in many cases of interest, the Riccati equation can be solved in terms of an infinite continued fraction. We examine the probabilistic significance of the expansion. To illustrate our results, we discuss some examples of diffusions in deterministic and in random environments.
Nous construisons une famille de surfaces de Riemann hyperelliptiques, de genre variable, munies de fonctions méromorphes de degré deux et d’indice un, ce qui apporte une réponse positive à une conjecture de S. Montiel et A. Ros.
In this paper we obtain that there are no transcendental entire solutions with finite order of some nonlinear difference equations of different forms.
It is shown that a finite system T of matrices whose real linear combinations have real spectrum satisfies a bound of the form . The proof appeals to the monogenic functional calculus.
