Letting $T_n$ (resp. $U_n$) be the n-th Chebyshev polynomials of the first (resp. second) kind, we prove that the sequences ${\left(X^k{T}_{n-k}\right)}_k$ and ${\left(X^k{U}_{n-k}\right)}_k$ for n - 2⎣n/2⎦ ≤ k ≤ n - ⎣n/2⎦ are two basis of the ℚ-vectorial space ${}_n\left[X\right]$ formed by the polynomials of ℚ[X] having the same parity as n and of degree ≤ n. Also $T_n$ and $U_n$ admit remarkableness integer coordinates on each of the two basis.

Let $t$ be any integer and fix an odd prime $\ell$. Let $\Phi \left(x\right)=T_{\ell }^n\left(x\right)-t$ denote the $n$-fold composition of the Chebyshev polynomial of degree $\ell$ shifted by $t$. If this polynomial is irreducible, let $K=\mathbb{Q}\left(\theta \right)$, where $\theta$ is a root of $\Phi$. We use a theorem of Dedekind in conjunction with previous results of the author to give conditions on $t$ that ensure $K$ is monogenic. For other values of $t$, we apply a result of Guàrdia, Montes, and Nart to obtain a formula for the discriminant of $K$ and compute an integral basis for the ring...

The aim of this paper is to show that for every Banach space $(X,\parallel ·\parallel )$ containing asymptotically isometric copy of the space $c_0$ there is a bounded, closed and convex set $C\subset X$ with the Chebyshev radius $r\left(C\right)=1$ such that for every $k\ge 1$ there exists a $k$-contractive mapping $T:C\to C$ with $\parallel x-Tx\parallel >1-1/k$ for any $x\in C$.

The Nevanlinna algebras, ${}_{\alpha }^p$, of this paper are the $L^p$ variants of classical weighted area Nevanlinna classes of analytic functions on = z ∈ ℂ: |z| < 1. They are F-algebras, neither locally bounded nor locally convex, with a rich duality structure. For s = (α+2)/p, the algebra $F_s$ of analytic functions f: → ℂ such that ${(1-|z\left|\right)}^s\left|f\left(z\right)\right|\to 0$ as |z| → 1 is the Fréchet envelope of ${}_{\alpha }^p$. The corresponding algebra ${}_s^{\infty }$ of analytic f: → ℂ such that $su{p}_{z\in }{(1-|z\left|\right)}^s\left|f\left(z\right)\right|<\infty$ is a complete metric space but fails to be a topological vector space....

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...

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 ∈...

Let $V$ be the complex vector space of homogeneous linear polynomials in the variables $x_1,...,x_m$. Suppose $G$ is a subgroup of $S_m$, and $\chi$ is an irreducible character of $G$. Let $H_d(G,\chi )$ be the symmetry class of polynomials of degree $d$ with respect to $G$ and $\chi$. For any linear operator $T$ acting on $V$, there is a (unique) induced operator $K_{\chi }\left(T\right)\in \mathrm{End}\left(H_d(G,\chi )\right)$ acting on symmetrized decomposable polynomials by $$K_{\chi }\left(T\right)(f_1*f_2*...*f_d)=T{f}_1*T{f}_2*...*T{f}_d.$$ In this paper, we show that the representation $T\mapsto K_{\chi }\left(T\right)$ of the general linear group $GL\left(V\right)$ is equivalent to the direct sum of $\chi \left(1\right)$ copies...

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 $P\left(x\right)={\sum }_{j=0}^n{a}_j{x}^j$, $|a_0\left|\ge L\right({\sum }_{j=1}^n|a_j{{|}^p)}^{1/p}$, $a_j\in ℂ$, such that ${(x-1)}^k$ divides P(x). For n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and q ≥ 1 let ${\mu }_q(n,L)$ be the smallest value of k for which there is a polynomial Q of degree k with complex coefficients such that $\left|Q\left(0\right)\right|>1/L({\sum }_{j=1}^n{\left|Q\left(j\right)\right|}^q{)}^{1/q}$. We find the size of ${\kappa }_p(n,L)$ and ${\mu }_q(n,L)$ for all n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and 1 ≤ p,q ≤ ∞. The result about ${\mu }_{\infty }(n,L)$ is due to Coppersmith and Rivlin, but our proof is completely different and much shorter even...

Let $X_1,\cdots ,X_n$ be Banach spaces and $f$ a real function on $X=X_1\times \cdots \times X_n$. Let $A_f$ be the set of all points $x\in X$ at which $f$ is partially Fréchet differentiable but is not Fréchet differentiable. Our results imply that if $X_1,\cdots ,X_{n-1}$ are Asplund spaces and $f$ is continuous (respectively Lipschitz) on $X$, then $A_f$ is a first category set (respectively a $\sigma$-upper porous set). We also prove that if $X$, $Y$ are separable Banach spaces and $f:X\to Y$ is a Lipschitz mapping, then there exists a $\sigma$-upper porous set $A\subset X$ such that $f$ is Fréchet differentiable...

Given a topological space $X$, let $𝒰X$ and ${\eta }_X:X\to 𝒰X$ denote, respectively, the Salbany compactification of $X$ and the compactification map called the Salbany map of $X$. For every continuous function $f:X\to Y$, there is a continuous function $𝒰f:𝒰X\to 𝒰Y$, called the Salbany lift of $f$, satisfying $\left(𝒰f\right)\circ {\eta }_X={\eta }_Y\circ f$. If a continuous function $f:X\to Y$ has a stably compact codomain $Y$, then there is a Salbany extension $F:𝒰X\to Y$ of $f$, not necessarily unique, such that $F\circ {\eta }_X=f$. In this paper, we give a condition on a space such that its Salbany map is open. In...

The paper deals with the approximation by polynomials with integer coefficients in $L_p(0,1)$, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. Let $P_{n,r}$ be the space of polynomials of degree ≤ n which are divisible by the polynomial $x^r{(1-x)}^r$, r ≥ 0, and let $P_{n,r}^{\mathbb{Z}}\subset P_{n,r}$ be the set of polynomials with integer coefficients. Let $\mu (P_{n,r}^{\mathbb{Z}};L_p)$ be the maximal distance of elements of $P_{n,r}$ from $P_{n,r}^{\mathbb{Z}}$ in $L_p(0,1)$. We give rather precise quantitative estimates of $\mu (P_{n,r}^{\mathbb{Z}};L₂)$ for n ≳ 6r. Then we obtain similar, somewhat less precise, estimates of $\mu (P_{n,r}^{\mathbb{Z}};L_p)$ for p ≠ 2. It follows that $\mu (P_{n,r}^{\mathbb{Z}};L_p)\asymp n^{-2r-2/p}$ as n → ∞. The results...

Denote by spanf₁,f₂,... the collection of all finite linear combinations of the functions f₁,f₂,... over ℝ. The principal result of the paper is the following. Theorem (Full Clarkson-Erdős-Schwartz Theorem). Suppose ${\left({\lambda }_j\right)}_{j=1}^{\infty }$ is a sequence of distinct positive numbers. Then $span1,x^{\lambda ₁},x^{\lambda ₂},...$ is dense in C[0,1] if and only if ${\sum }_{j=1}^{\infty }\left({\lambda }_j\right)/({\lambda }_j²+1)=\infty$. Moreover, if ${\sum }_{j=1}^{\infty }\left({\lambda }_j\right)/({\lambda }_j²+1)<\infty$, then every function from the C[0,1] closure of $span1,x^{\lambda ₁},x^{\lambda ₂},...$ can be represented as an analytic function on z ∈ ℂ ∖ (-∞, 0]: |z| < 1 restricted to (0,1). This result improves an...

Let $\Omega \subset {ℂ}^n$ be a bounded, simply connected $ℂ$-convex domain. Let $\alpha \in {\mathbb{Z}}_{+}^n$ and let $f$ be a function on $\Omega$ which is separately $C^{2{\alpha }_j-1}$-smooth with respect to $z_j$ (by which we mean jointly $C^{2{\alpha }_j-1}$-smooth with respect to $\mathrm{Re}{z}_j$, $\mathrm{Im}{z}_j$). If $f$ is $\alpha$-analytic on $\Omega \setminus f^{-1}\left(0\right)$, then $f$ is $\alpha$-analytic on $\Omega$. The result is well-known for the case ${\alpha }_i=1$, $1\le i\le n$, even when $f$ a priori is only known to be continuous.

Let $F$ be a closed subset of ${ℝ}^n$ and let $P\left(x\right)$ denote the metric projection (closest point mapping) of $x\in {ℝ}^n$ onto $F$ in $l^p$-norm. A classical result of Asplund states that $P$ is (Fréchet) differentiable almost everywhere (a.e.) in ${ℝ}^n$ in the Euclidean case $p=2$. We consider the case $2<p<\infty$ and prove that the $i$th component $P_i\left(x\right)$ of $P\left(x\right)$ is differentiable a.e. if $P_i\left(x\right)\ne x_i$ and satisfies Hölder condition of order $1/(p-1)$ if $P_i\left(x\right)=x_i$.

This note presents the study of the conjugacy classes of elements of some given finite order $n$ in the Cremona group of the plane. In particular, it is shown that the number of conjugacy classes is infinite if $n$ is even, $n=3$ or $n=5$, and that it is equal to $3$ (respectively $9$) if $n=9$ (respectively if $n=15$) and to $1$ for all remaining odd orders. Some precise representative elements of the classes are given.

Given d ≥ 2 consider the family of polynomials $P_c\left(z\right)=z^d+c$ for c ∈ ℂ. Denote by $J_c$ the Julia set of $P_c$ and let ${ℳ}_d=c|J_{c}isconnected$ be the connectedness locus; for d = 2 it is called the Mandelbrot set. We study semihyperbolic parameters $c₀\in \partial {ℳ}_d$: those for which the critical point 0 is not recurrent by $P_{c₀}$ and without parabolic cycles. The Hausdorff dimension of $J_c$, denoted by $HD\left(J_c\right)$, does not depend continuously on c at such $c₀\in \partial {ℳ}_d$; on the other hand the function $c\mapsto HD\left(J_c\right)$ is analytic in $ℂ-{ℳ}_d$. Our first result asserts that there is still some...
