The authors introduce two new subclasses $F_{p,k}(\lambda ,A,B)$ and $G_{p,k}(\lambda ,A,B)$ of meromorphically multivalent functions. Distortion bounds and convolution properties for $F_{p,k}(\lambda ,A,B)$, $G_{p,k}(\lambda ,A,B)$ and their subclasses with positive coefficients are obtained. Some inclusion relations for these function classes are also given.

We prove the existence of sequences ${\varrho ₙ}_{n=1}^{\infty }$, ϱₙ → 0⁺, and ${zₙ}_{n=1}^{\infty }$, |zₙ| = 1/2, such that for every α ∈ ℝ and for every meromorphic function G(z) on ℂ, there exists a meromorphic function $F\left(z\right)=F_{G,\alpha }\left(z\right)$ on ℂ such that $\varrho {ₙ}^{\alpha }F(nzₙ+n\varrho ₙ\zeta )$ converges to G(ζ) uniformly on compact subsets of ℂ in the spherical metric. As a result, we construct a family of functions meromorphic on the unit disk that is $Q_m$-normal for no m ≥ 1 and on which an extension of Zalcman’s Lemma holds.

Let ℱ be a family of meromorphic functions on a plane domain D, all of whose zeros are of multiplicity at least k ≥ 2. Let a, b, c, and d be complex numbers such that d ≠ b,0 and c ≠ a. If, for each f ∈ ℱ, $f\left(z\right)=a\iff f^{\left(k\right)}\left(z\right)=b$, and $f^{\left(k\right)}\left(z\right)=d\Rightarrow f\left(z\right)=c$, then ℱ is a normal family on D. The same result holds for k=1 so long as b≠(m+1)d, m=1,2,....

Let $X$ and $Y$ be compact Kähler manifolds, and let $f:X\to Y$ be a dominant meromorphic map. Based upon a regularization theorem of Dinh and Sibony for DSH currents, we define a pullback operator $f^{♯}$ for currents of bidegrees $(p,p)$ of finite order on $Y$ (and thus forcurrent, since $Y$ is compact). This operator has good properties as may be expected. Our definition and results are compatible to those of various previous works of Meo, Russakovskii and Shiffman, Alessandrini and Bassanelli, Dinh and Sibony,...

Let f be a transcendental meromorphic function of infinite order on ℂ, let k ∈ ℕ and $\phi =R{e}^P$, where R ≢ 0 is a rational function and P is a polynomial, and let $a₀,a₁,...,a_{k-1}$ be holomorphic functions on ℂ. If all zeros of f have multiplicity at least k except possibly finitely many, and $f=0\iff f^{\left(k\right)}+a_{k-1}{f}^{(k-1)}+\cdots +a₀f=0$, then $f^{\left(k\right)}+a_{k-1}{f}^{(k-1)}+\cdots +a₀f-\phi$ has infinitely many zeros.

The problem of uniqueness of an entire or a meromorphic function when it shares a value or a small function with its derivative became popular among the researchers after the work of Rubel and Yang (1977). Several authors extended the problem to higher order derivatives. Since a linear differential polynomial is a natural extension of a derivative, in the paper we study the uniqueness of a meromorphic function that shares one small function CM with a linear differential polynomial, and...

Let f be a transcendental meromorphic function and $g\left(z\right)=f(z+c₁)+\cdots +f(z+c_k)-kf\left(z\right)$ and $g_k\left(z\right)=f(z+c₁)\cdots f(z+c_k)-f^k\left(z\right)$. A number of results are obtained concerning the exponents of convergence of the zeros of g(z), $g_k\left(z\right)$, g(z)/f(z), and $g_k\left(z\right)/f^k\left(z\right)$.

Let ℱ be a family of meromorphic functions defined in a domain D, let ψ (≢ 0, ∞) be a meromorphic function in D, and k be a positive integer. If, for every f ∈ ℱ and z ∈ D, (1) f≠ 0, $f^{\left(k\right)}\ne 0$; (2) all zeros of $f^{\left(k\right)}-\psi$ have multiplicities at least (k+2)/k; (3) all poles of ψ have multiplicities at most k, then ℱ is normal in D.

The purpose of this paper is twofold. The first is to weaken or omit the condition $dim{f}^{-1}\left(H_i\cap H_j\right)\le m-2$ for i ≠ j in some previous uniqueness theorems for meromorphic mappings. The second is to decrease the number q of hyperplanes $H_j$ such that f(z) = g(z) on ${\bigcup }_{j=1}^q{f}^{-1}\left(H_j\right)$, where f,g are meromorphic mappings.

Let $k$ be a nonnegative integer or infinity. For $a\in ℂ\cup \left\{\infty \right\}$ we denote by $E_k(a;f)$ the set of all $a$-points of $f$ where an $a$-point of multiplicity $m$ is counted $m$ times if $m\le k$ and $k+1$ times if $m>k$. If $E_k(a;f)=E_k(a;g)$ then we say that $f$ and $g$ share the value $a$ with weight $k$. Using this idea of sharing values we study the uniqueness of meromorphic functions whose certain nonlinear differential polynomials share a nonzero polynomial with finite weight. The results of the paper improve and generalize the related results due to...

Using the notion of weighted sharing of values which was introduced by Lahiri (2001), we deal with the uniqueness problem for meromorphic functions when two certain types of nonlinear differential monomials namely $h^n{h}^{\left(k\right)}$ $(h=f,g)$ sharing a nonzero polynomial of degree less than or equal to $3$ with finite weight have common poles and obtain two results. The results in this paper significantly rectify, improve and generalize the results due to Cao and Zhang (2012).

Given a germ $h$ of holomorphic function on $({ℂ}^n,0)$, we study the condition: “the ideal ${\text{Ann}}_{𝒟}1/h$ is generated by operators of order1”. We obtain here full characterizations in the particular cases of Koszul-free germs and unreduced germs of plane curves. Moreover, we prove that this condition holds for a special type of hyperplane arrangements. These results allow us to link this condition to the comparison of de Rham complexes associated with $h$.

We obtain the basic analytic properties, i.e. meromorphic continuation, polar structure and bounds for the order of growth, of all the nonlinear twists with exponents $\le 1/d$ of the $L$-functions of any degree $d\ge 1$ in the extended Selberg class. In particular, this solves the resonance problem in all such cases.

Let f be meromorphic on the compact set E ⊂ C with maximal Green domain of meromorphy $E_{\rho \left(f\right)}$, ρ(f) < ∞. We investigate rational approximants $r_{n,mₙ}$ of f on E with numerator degree ≤ n and denominator degree ≤ mₙ. We show that a geometric convergence rate of order $\rho {\left(f\right)}^{-n}$ on E implies uniform maximal convergence in m₁-measure inside $E_{\rho \left(f\right)}$ if mₙ = o(n/log n) as n → ∞. If mₙ = o(n), n → ∞, then maximal convergence in capacity inside $E_{\rho \left(f\right)}$ can be proved at least for a subsequence Λ ⊂ ℕ. Moreover, an analogue...

Let f and g be entire functions, n, k and m be positive integers, and λ, μ be complex numbers with |λ| + |μ| ≠ 0. We prove that ${\left(fⁿ\left(z\right)(\lambda f^m\left(z\right)+\mu )\right)}^{(}k)$ must have infinitely many fixed points if n ≥ k + 2; furthermore, if ${\left(fⁿ\left(z\right)(\lambda f^m\left(z\right)+\mu )\right)}^{(}k)$ and ${\left(gⁿ\left(z\right)(\lambda g^m\left(z\right)+\mu )\right)}^{(}k)$ have the same fixed points with the same multiplicities, then either f ≡ cg for a constant c, or f and g assume certain forms provided that n > 2k + m* + 4, where m* is an integer that depends only on λ.

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. ...

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.

Let $f$ be a dominant rational map of ${\mathbb{P}}^k$ such that there exists $s\&lt;k$ with ${\lambda }_s\left(f\right)\&gt;{\lambda }_l\left(f\right)$ for all $l$. Under mild hypotheses, we show that, for $A$ outside a pluripolar set of $\mathrm{Aut}\left({\mathbb{P}}^k\right)$, the map $f\circ A$ admits a hyperbolic measure of maximal entropy $log{\lambda }_s\left(f\right)$ with explicit bounds on the Lyapunov exponents. In particular, the result is true for polynomial maps hence for the homogeneous extension of $f$ to ${\mathbb{P}}^{k+1}$. This provides many examples where non uniform hyperbolic dynamics is established. One of the key tools is to approximate...

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...

Sia $K\subset \subset {ℝ}^n$ un compatto, $f\ge 0$ una funzione analitica all'intorno di $K$, ed $m$ la massima molteplicità in $K$ degli zeri di $f$; si prova che la potenza $f^{\lambda }$ ($\lambda \in ℂ$, $Re\lambda >\mathrm{—}\frac{1}{m}$) è integrabile in $K$. L'estensione meromorfa dell'applicazione $\lambda \to f^{\lambda }$ da $Re\lambda >0$ a tutto $ℂ$ (con valori in ${𝒟}^{\prime }(K)$ anziché in $L^1(K)$) era già stata provata in [1] e [2].

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.

The paper deals with logarithmic capacities, an important tool in pluripotential theory. We show that a class of capacities, which contains the L-capacity, has the following product property: $C_{\nu }\left(E₁\times E₂\right)=min(C_{\nu ₁}\left(E₁\right),C_{\nu ₂}\left(E₂\right))$, where $E_j$ and ${\nu }_j$ are respectively a compact set and a norm in ${ℂ}^{N_j}$ (j = 1,2), and ν is a norm in ${ℂ}^{N₁+N₂}$, ν = ν₁⊕ₚ ν₂ with some 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. For a convex subset E of ${ℂ}^N$, denote by C(E) the standard L-capacity and by ${\omega }_E$ the minimal width of E, that is, the minimal Euclidean distance between two supporting hyperplanes...

Let K be a number field, X be a smooth projective curve over it and D be a reduced divisor on X. Let (E,∇) be a vector bundle with connection having meromorphic singularities on D. Let $p_1,...,p_s\in X\left(K\right)$ and $X^o:=X̅\setminus D,p_1,...,p_s$ (the $p_j$’s may be in the support of D). Using tools from Nevanlinna theory and formal geometry, we give the definition of E-section of arithmetic type of the vector bundle E with respect to the points $p_j$; this is the natural generalization of the notion of E-function defined in Siegel-Shidlovskiĭ...

Let A denote the space of all analytic functions in the unit disc Δ with the normalization f(0) = f’(0) − 1 = 0. For β < 1, let $P{⁰}_{\beta }=f\in A:Re{f}^{\text{'}}\left(z\right)>\beta ,z\in \Delta$. For λ > 0, suppose that denotes any one of the following classes of functions: $M_{1,\lambda }^{\left(1\right)}=f\in :Rez{\left(z{f}^{\text{'}}\left(z\right)\right)}^{\text{'}\text{'}}>-\lambda ,z\in \Delta$, $M_{1,\lambda }^{\left(2\right)}=f\in :Rez{\left(z²f^{\text{'}\text{'}}\left(z\right)\right)}^{\text{'}\text{'}}>-\lambda ,z\in \Delta$, $M_{1,\lambda }^{\left(3\right)}=f\in :Re1/2{\left(z{\left(z²f^{\text{'}}\left(z\right)\right)}^{\text{'}\text{'}}\right)}^{\text{'}}-1>-\lambda ,z\in \Delta$. The main purpose of this paper is to find conditions on λ and γ so that each f ∈ is in ${}_{\gamma }$ or ${}_{\gamma }$, γ ∈ [0,1/2]. Here ${}_{\gamma }$ and ${}_{\gamma }$ respectively denote the class of all starlike functions of order γ and the class of all convex functions of order γ. As a consequence, we obtain...

An investigation is launched into the fundamental characteristics of operations on and between sets, with a focus on compact convex sets and star sets (compact sets star-shaped with respect to the origin) in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space ${ℝ}^n$. It is proved that if $n\ge 2$, with three trivial exceptions, an operation between origin-symmetric compact convex sets is continuous in the Hausdorff metric, $GL\left(n\right)$ covariant, and associative if and only if it is $L_p$ addition for some $1\le p\le \infty$. It is also demonstrated...

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.

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.

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.
