For γ ∈ ℂ such that |γ| < π/2 and 0 ≤ β < 1, let ${}_{\gamma ,\beta }$ denote the class of all analytic functions P in the unit disk with P(0) = 1 and $Re\left(e^{i\gamma }P\left(z\right)\right)>\beta cos\gamma$ in . For any fixed z₀ ∈ and λ ∈ ̅, we shall determine the region of variability $V_{}(z₀,\lambda )$ for ${\int }_0^{z₀}P\left(\zeta \right)d\zeta$ when P ranges over the class $\left(\lambda \right)=P{\in }_{\gamma ,\beta }:P^{\text{'}}\left(0\right)=2(1-\beta )\lambda e^{-i\gamma }cos\gamma .$As a consequence, we present the region of variability for some subclasses of univalent functions. We also graphically illustrate the region of variability for several sets of parameters.

We consider functions of the type $F\left(z\right)=z{\prod }_{j=1}^n{[f_j\left(z\right)/z]}^{a_j}$, where $a_j$ are real numbers and $f_j$ are ${\beta }_j$-strongly close-to-starlike functions of order ${\alpha }_j$. We look for conditions on the center and radius of the disk (a,r) = z:|z-a| < r, |a| < r ≤ 1 - |a|, ensuring that F((a,r)) is a domain starlike with respect to the origin.

Let $A$ be the class of analytic functions in the unit disc $U$ of the complex plane $ℂ$ with the normalization $f\left(0\right)=f^{{}^{\text{'}}}\left(0\right)-1=0$. We introduce a subclass $S_M^{*}(\alpha ,b)$ of $A$, which unifies the classes of bounded starlike and convex functions of complex order. Making use of Salagean operator, a more general class $S_M^{*}(n,\alpha ,b)$ ($n\ge 0$) related to $S_M^{*}(\alpha ,b)$ is also considered under the same conditions. Among other things, we find convolution conditions for a function $f\in A$ to belong to the class $S_M^{*}(\alpha ,b)$. Several properties of the class $S_M^{*}(n,\alpha ,b)$ are investigated. ...

The purpose of this paper is to study some properties related to convexity order and coefficients estimation for a general integral operator. We find the convexity order for this operator, using the analytic functions from the class of starlike functions of order $\alpha$ and from the class $\mathrm{𝒞𝒱\mathscr{H}}\left(\beta \right)$ and also we estimate the first two coefficients for functions obtained by this operator applied on the class $\mathrm{𝒞𝒱\mathscr{H}}\left(\beta \right)$.

In the present work, we introduce the subclass ${𝒯}_{\gamma ,\alpha }^k\left(\varphi \right)$, of starlike functions with respect to $k$-symmetric points of complex order $\gamma$ ($\gamma \ne 0$) in the open unit disc $$. Some interesting subordination criteria, inclusion relations and the integral representation for functions belonging to this class are provided. The results obtained generalize some known results, and some other new results are obtained.

Let ${𝒫}_n$ denote the class of analytic functions $p\left(z\right)$ of the form $p\left(z\right)=1+c_n{z}^n+c_{n+1}{z}^{n+1}+\cdots$ in the open unit disc $𝕌$. Applying the result by S. S. Miller and P. T. Mocanu (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 65 (1978), 289-305), some interesting properties for $p\left(z\right)$ concerned with Caratheodory functions are discussed. Further, some corollaries of the results concerned with the result due to M. Obradovic and S. Owa (Math. Nachr. 140 (1989), 97-102) are shown.

In this paper, we obtain new sufficient conditions for the operators $F_{{\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2,...,{\alpha }_n,\beta }\left(z\right)$ and $G_{{\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2,...,{\alpha }_n,\beta }\left(z\right)$ to be univalent in the open unit disc $𝒰$, where the functions $f_1,f_2,...,f_n$ belong to the classes $S^{*}(a,b)$ and $𝒦(a,b)$. The order of convexity for the operators $F_{{\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2,...,{\alpha }_n,\beta }\left(z\right)$ and $G_{{\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2,...,{\alpha }_n,\beta }\left(z\right)$ is also determined. Furthermore, and for $\beta =1$, we obtain sufficient conditions for the operators $F_n\left(z\right)$ and $G_n\left(z\right)$ to be in the class $𝒦(a,b)$. Several corollaries and consequences of the main results are also considered.

We consider the class ${\mathscr{H}}_0$ of sense-preserving harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ defined in the unit disk $\left|z\right|<1$ and normalized so that $h\left(0\right)=0=h^{\text{'}}\left(0\right)-1$ and $g\left(0\right)=0=g^{\text{'}}\left(0\right)$, where $h$ and $g$ are analytic in the unit disk. In the first part of the article we present two classes ${𝒫}_H^0\left(\alpha \right)$ and ${𝒢}_H^0\left(\beta \right)$ of functions from ${\mathscr{H}}_0$ and show that if $f\in {𝒫}_H^0\left(\alpha \right)$ and $F\in {𝒢}_H^0\left(\beta \right)$, then the harmonic convolution is a univalent and close-to-convex harmonic function in the unit disk provided certain conditions for parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are satisfied. In the second part we study the harmonic sections...

Let $\mathrm{T}$ be the family of all typically real functions, i.e. functions that are analytic in the unit disk $\Delta :=\{z\in ℂ:|z|<1\}$, normalized by $f\left(0\right)=f^{\text{'}}\left(0\right)-1=0$ and such that Im $z$ Im $f\left(z\right)$ $\ge 0$ for $z\in \Delta$. Moreover, let us denote: ${\mathrm{T}}^{\left(2\right)}:=\{f\in \mathrm{T}:f\left(z\right)=-f(-z)\text{for}z\in \Delta \}$ and ${\mathrm{T}}^{M,g}:=\{f\in \mathrm{T}:f\prec Mg\text{in}\Delta \}$, where $M>1$, $g\in \mathrm{T}\cap \mathrm{S}$ and $\mathrm{S}$ consists of all analytic functions, normalized and univalent in $\Delta$.We investigate  classes in which the subordination is replaced with the majorization and the function $g$ is typically real but does not necessarily univalent, i.e. classes $\{f\in \mathrm{T}:f\ll Mg\text{in}\Delta \}$, where $M>1$, $g\in \mathrm{T}$, which we denote...

Given a compact set $K\subset {ℂ}^N$, for each positive integer n, let $V^{\left(n\right)}\left(z\right)$ = $V_K^{\left(n\right)}\left(z\right)$ := sup$1/\left(degp\right)V_{p\left(K\right)}\left(p\left(z\right)\right)$: p holomorphic polynomial, 1 ≤ deg p ≤ n. These “extremal-like” functions $V_K^{\left(n\right)}$ are essentially one-variable in nature and always increase to the “true” several-variable (Siciak) extremal function, $V_K\left(z\right)$:= max[0, sup1/(deg p) log|p(z)|: p holomorphic polynomial, ${\left|\right|p\left|\right|}_K\le 1$]. Our main result is that if K is regular, then all of the functions $V_K^{\left(n\right)}$ are continuous; and their associated Robin functions ${\varrho }_{V_K^{\left(n\right)}}\left(z\right):=limsu{p}_{\left|\lambda \right|\to \infty }[V_K^{\left(n\right)}\left(\lambda z\right)-log\left(\right|\lambda \left|\right)]$ increase to ${\varrho }_K:={\varrho }_{V_K}$ for all z outside a pluripolar...

For n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and p ≥ 1 let ${\kappa }_p(n,L)$ be the largest possible value of k for which there is a polynomial P ≠ 0 of the form $P\left(x\right)={\sum }_{j=0}^n{a}_j{x}^j$, $|a_0\left|\ge L\right({\sum }_{j=1}^n|a_j{|}^p$1/p$,$aj ∈ ℂ$,$such that ${(x-1)}^k$ divides P(x). For n ∈ ℕ and L > 0 let ${\kappa }_{\infty }(n,L)$ be the largest possible value of k for which there is a polynomial P ≠ 0 of the form $P\left(x\right)={\sum }_{j=0}^n{a}_j{x}^j$, $|a_0|\ge Lma{x}_{1\le j\le n}|a_j|$, $a_j\in ℂ$, such that ${(x-1)}^k$ divides P(x). We prove that there are absolute constants c₁ > 0 and c₂ > 0 such that $c_1\surd (n/L)-1\le {\kappa }_{\infty }(n,L)\le c_2\surd (n/L)$ for every L ≥ 1. This complements an earlier result of the authors valid for every n ∈ ℕ and L ∈...

This paper establishes the necessary and sufficient conditions for the reality of all the zeros in a polynomial sequence ${\left\{P_i\right\}}_{i=1}^{\infty }$ generated by a three-term recurrence relation $P_i\left(x\right)+Q_1\left(x\right)P_{i-1}\left(x\right)+Q_2\left(x\right)P_{i-2}\left(x\right)=0$ with the standard initial conditions $P_0\left(x\right)=1,P_{-1}\left(x\right)=0,$ where $Q_1\left(x\right)$ and $Q_2\left(x\right)$ are arbitrary real polynomials.

Let $𝕍$ be a separable real Hilbert space, $k\in \mathbb{N}$ with $k<dim𝕍$, and let $B$ be convex and closed in $𝕍$. Let $𝒫$ be a collection of linear $k$-subspaces of $𝕍$. A point $w\in B$ is called exposed by $𝒫$ if there is a $P\in 𝒫$ so that $(w+P)\cap B=\left\{w\right\}$. We show that, under some natural conditions, $B$ can be reconstituted as the convex hull of the closure of all its exposed by $𝒫$ points whenever $𝒫$ is dense and $G_{\delta }$. In addition, we discuss the question when the set of exposed by some $𝒫$ points forms a $G_{\delta }$-set.

We show that any ${\Sigma }_s$-product of at most $𝔠$-many $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces has the $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-property. This result generalizes some known results about $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces. On the other hand, we prove that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of monotonically monolithic spaces is monotonically monolithic, and in a similar form, we show that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of Collins-Roscoe spaces has the Collins-Roscoe property. These results generalize some known results about the Collins-Roscoe spaces and answer some questions due to Tkachuk [Lifting the Collins-Roscoe...

Let D and ∂D denote the open unit disk and the unit circle of the complex plane, respectively. We denote by ₙ (resp. ${ₙ}^c$) the set of all polynomials of degree at most n with real (resp. complex) coefficients. We define the truncation operators Sₙ for polynomials $Pₙ\in {ₙ}^c$ of the form $Pₙ\left(z\right):={\sum }_{j=0}^n{a}_j{z}_j$, $a_j\in C$, by $Sₙ\left(Pₙ\right)\left(z\right):={\sum }_{j=0}^{n}a{̃}_j{z}_j$, $a{̃}_j:=a_j\left|a_j\right|min|a_j|,1$ (here 0/0 is interpreted as 1). We define the norms of the truncation operators by $\parallel Sₙ{\parallel }_{\infty ,\partial D}^{real}:=su{p}_{Pₙ\in ₙ}(ma{x}_{z\in \partial D}\left|Sₙ\left(Pₙ\right)\left(z\right)\right|)/(ma{x}_{z\in \partial D}\left|Pₙ\left(z\right)\right|)$, $\parallel Sₙ{\parallel }_{\infty ,\partial D}^{comp}:=su{p}_{Pₙ\in {ₙ}^c}(ma{x}_{z\in \partial D}\left|Sₙ\left(Pₙ\right)\left(z\right)\right|)/(ma{x}_{z\in \partial D}\left|Pₙ\left(z\right)\right|$. Our main theorem establishes the right order of magnitude of the above norms: there is an absolute constant c₁...

We study the size of the sets of gradients of bump functions on the Hilbert space ${\ell }_2$, and the related question as to how small the set of tangent hyperplanes to a smooth bounded starlike body in ${\ell }_2$ can be. We find that those sets can be quite small. On the one hand, the usual norm of the Hilbert space ${\ell }_2$ can be uniformly approximated by $C^1$ smooth Lipschitz functions $\psi$ so that the cones generated by the ranges of its derivatives ${\psi }^{\text{'}}\left({\ell }_2\right)$ have empty interior. This implies that there are $C^1$ smooth...

Following a suggestion of W.M. Schmidt and L. Summerer, we construct a proper $3$-system $(P_1,P_2,P_3)$ with the property ${\overline{\varphi }}_3=1$. In fact, our method generalizes to provide $n$-systems with ${\overline{\varphi }}_n=1$, for arbitrary $n\ge 3$. We visualize our constructions with graphics. We further present explicit examples of numbers ${\xi }_1,...,{\xi }_{n-1}$ that induce the $n$-systems in question.

Let $X$ be a complex Fano manifold of arbitrary dimension, and $D$ a prime divisor in $X$. We consider the image ${𝒩}_1(D,X)$ of ${𝒩}_1\left(D\right)$ in ${𝒩}_1\left(X\right)$ under the natural push-forward of $1$-cycles. We show that ${\rho }_X-{\rho }_D\le codim{𝒩}_1(D,X)\le 8$. Moreover if $codim{𝒩}_1(D,X)\ge 3$, then either $X\cong S\times T$ where $S$ is a Del Pezzo surface, or $codim{𝒩}_1(D,X)=3$ and $X$ has a fibration in Del Pezzo surfaces onto a Fano manifold $T$ such that ${\rho }_X-{\rho }_T=4$.

We investigate the recovery of $k$-sparse signals using the ${\ell }_1$-${\ell }_2$ minimization model with prior support set information. The prior support set information, which is believed to contain the indices of nonzero signal elements, significantly enhances the performance of compressive recovery by improving accuracy, efficiency, reducing complexity, expanding applicability, and enhancing robustness. We assume $k$-sparse signals $𝐱$ with the prior support $T$ which is composed of $g$ true indices and $b$ wrong...
