Let = z ∈ ℂ; |z| < 1, T = z ∈ ℂ; |z|=1. Denote by S the class of functions f of the form f(z) = z + a₂z² + ... holomorphic and univalent in , and by S(M), M > 1, the subclass of functions f of the family S such that |f(z)| < M in . We introduce (and investigate the basic properties of) the class S(M,m;α), 0 < m ≤ M < ∞, 0 ≤ α ≤ 1, of bounded functions f of the family S for which there exists an open $arc{I}_{\alpha }=I_{\alpha }\left(f\right)\subset T$ of length 2πα such that ${\overline{lim}}_{z\to z₀,z\in }\left|f\left(z\right)\right|\le M$ for every $z₀\in I_{\alpha }$ and ${\overline{lim}}_{z\to z₀,z\in }\left|f\left(z\right)\right|\le m$ for every $z₀\in T{Ī}_{\alpha }$.

A partition of a positive integer n is a nonincreasing sequence of positive integers with sum $n.$ Here we define a special class of partitions. 1. Let $t\ge 1$ be a positive integer. Any partition of n whose Ferrers graph have no hook numbers divisible by t is known as a t- core partitionof $n.$ The hooks are important in the representation theory of finite symmetric groups and the theory of cranks associated with Ramanujan’s congruences for the ordinary partition function [3,$$4,$$6]. If $t\ge 1$ and $n\ge 0$,...

We show that if $X$ is a subspace of a linearly ordered space, then $C_k\left(X\right)$ is a Baire space if and only if $C_k\left(X\right)$ is Choquet iff $X$ has the Moving Off Property.

The function $f\left(z\right)=z^p+{\sum }_{k=1}^{\infty }{a}_{p+k}{z}^{p+k}$ (p ∈ ℕ = 1,2,3,...) analytic in the unit disk E is said to be in the class $K_{n,p}\left(h\right)$ if ($D^{n+p}f)/\left(D^{n+p-1}f\right)\prec h$, where $D^{n+p-1}f=\left(z^p\right)/\left({(1-z)}^{p+n}\right)*f$ and h is convex univalent in E with h(0) = 1. We study the class $K_{n,p}\left(h\right)$ and investigate whether the inclusion relation $K_{n+1,p}\left(h\right)\subseteq K_{n,p}\left(h\right)$ holds for p > 1. Some coefficient estimates for the class are also obtained. The class $A_{n,p}(a,h)$ of functions satisfying the condition $a*\left(D^{n+p}f\right)/\left(D^{n+p-1}f\right)+(1-a)*\left(D^{n+p+1}f\right)/\left(D^{n+p}f\right)\prec h$ is also studied.

 Let $F_i=1,...,N$ be affine mappings of ${ℝ}^n$. It is well known that if there exists j ≤ 1 such that for every ${\sigma }_1,...,{\sigma }_j\in 1,...,N$ the composition (1) $F_{\sigma 1}\circ ...\circ F_{{\sigma }_j}$ is a contraction, then for any infinite sequence ${\sigma }_1,{\sigma }_2,...\in 1,...,N$ and any $z\in {ℝ}^n$, the sequence (2)$F_{\sigma 1}\circ ...\circ F_{{\sigma }_n}\left(z\right)$ is convergent and the limit is independent of z. We prove the following converse result: If (2) is convergent for any $z\in {ℝ}^n$ and any $\sigma ={\sigma }_1,{\sigma }_2,...$ belonging to some subshift Σ of N symbols (and the limit is independent of z), then there exists j ≥ 1 such that for every $\sigma ={\sigma }_1,{\sigma }_2,...\in \Sigma$ the composition (1) is a contraction....

1. Introduction. The recent article [1] gives explicit evaluations for exponential sums of the form $S(a,p^{\alpha }+1):={\sum }_{x{\in }_q}\chi \left(a{x}^{p^{\alpha }+1}\right)$ where χ is a non-trivial additive character of the finite field ${}_q$, $q=p^e$ odd, and $a\in {*}_q$. In my dissertation [5], in particular in [4], I considered more generally the sums S(a,N) for all factors N of $p^{\alpha }+1$. The aim of the present note is to evaluate S(a,N) in a short way, following [4]. We note that our result is also valid for even q, and the technique used in our proof can also be used to evaluate...

We discuss the propagation of electromagnetic waves of a special form through an inhomogeneous isotropic medium which has a cylindrical symmetry and a nonlinear dielectric response. For the case where this response is of self-focusing type the problem is treated in [1]. Here we continue this study by dealing with a defocusing dielectric response. This tends to inhibit the guidance properties of the medium and so guidance can only be expected provided that the cylindrical stratification...

1. Introduction. Given x in (0,1], let x = [d₁(x),d₂(x),...] denote the Engel expansion of x, that is, (1) $x=1/d₁\left(x\right)+1/\left(d₁\left(x\right)d₂\left(x\right)\right)+...+1/(d₁\left(x\right)d₂\left(x\right)...d_n\left(x\right))+...$, where $d_j\left(x\right),j\ge 1$ is a sequence of positive integers satisfying d₁(x) ≥ 2 and $d_{j+1}\left(x\right)\ge d_j\left(x\right)$ for j ≥ 1. (See [3].) In [3], János Galambos proved that for almost all x ∈ (0,1], (2) $li{m}_{n\to \infty }{d}_n^{1/n}\left(x\right)=e.$He conjectured ([3], P132) that the Hausdorff dimension of the set where (2) fails is one. In this paper, we prove this conjecture: Theorem. $di{m}_{H}x\in (0,1]:\left(2\right)fails=1$. We use L¹ to denote the one-dimensional Lebesgue measure on (0,1] and $di{m}_H$ to denote...
