It is well known that an entire function of finite order has an at most countable number of asymptotic values. Gross [I] constructed an example of an entire function of infinite order whose set of asymptotic values coincides with the extended complex plane. Dreisin and Weizmann [2] raised the question of whether there are any restrictions from above on the size of the set of asymptotic values o...

In this work, we examine the stationary one-dimensional classical Poisson-Nernst-Planck (cPNP) model for ionic flow – a singularly perturbed boundary value problem (BVP). For the case of zero permanent charge, we provide a complete answer concerning the existence and uniqueness of the BVP. The analysis relies on a number of ingredients: a geometric singular perturbation framework for a reductio...

Let K be a non archimedean algebraically closed field of characteristic π, complete for its ultrametric absolute value. In a recent paper by Escassut and Yang ([6]) polynomial decompositions P (f) = Q(g) for meromorphic functions f , g on K (resp. in a disk d(0, r−) ⊂ K) have been considered, and for a class of polynomials P , Q, estimates for the Nevanlinna function T (ρ, f) have been derived....

In this paper we study the splitting of separatrices phenomenon which arises when one considers a Hamiltonian System of one degree of freedom with a fast periodic or quasiperiodic and meromorphic in the state variables perturbation. The obtained results are different from the previous ones in the literature, which mainly assume algebraic or trigonometric polynomial dependence on the state varia...

We construct the genus two (or two loop) partition function for meromorphic bosonic conformal field theories. We use a sewing procedure involving two genus one tori by exploiting an explicit relationship between the genus two period matrix and pinching modular parameters. We obtain expressions for the partition function for the chiral bosonic string, even rank lattice theories and self-dual mer...

Let a0, . . . , ak−1 be analytic functions on a domain Ω. Let F be a family of meromorphic functions f on Ω such that f 6= 0 and f (k) + ak−1f (k−1) + . . . + a0f 6= 0 on Ω, for all f ∈ F . Then {f ′/f : f ∈ F} is a normal family. Furthermore, let a0, . . . , ak−1 be meromorphic functions on a domain Ω. Let F be a family of meromorphic functions f on Ω such that f 6= 0, f ′ 6= 0 and f (k) + ak−...

In the present paper, we introduce and investigate some properties of two subclasses $ Lambda_{n}( lambda , beta ) $ and $ Lambda_{n}^{+}( lambda , beta ) $;  meromorphic and starlike  functions of order $ beta $. In particular, several inclusion relations, coefficient estimates, distortion theorems and covering theorems are proven here for each of these function classes.

We describe conditions under which a multiply connected wandering domain of a transcendental meromorphic function with a finite number of poles must be a Baker wandering domain, and we discuss the possible eventual connectivity of Fatou components of transcendental meromorphic functions. We also show that if f is meromorphic, U is a bounded component of F (f) and V is the component of F (f) suc...

We define a p-adic character to be a continuous homomorphism from 1 + tFq [[t]] to Zp. For p > 2, we use the ring of big Witt vectors over Fq to exhibit a bijection between p-adic characters and sequences (ci)(i,p)=1 of elements in Zq , indexed by natural numbers relatively prime to p, and for which limi→∞ ci = 0. To such a p-adic character we associate an L-function, and we prove that this L-f...

We study the number of meromorphic functions on a Riemann surface with given critical values and prescribed multiplicities of critical points and values. When the Riemann surface is CP1 and the function is a polynomial, we give an elementary way of finding this number. In the general case, we show that, as the multiplicities of critical points tend to infinity, the asymptotic for the number of ...
