In this article, we are concerned with the following inequality(1)where 0<pi<1, 0<q<1, (i=l, 2,…,n), n is a fixed positive integer, n≥2 and f(p)≠0 for <p<l.This inequality was first considered by A. Renyi, who gave the general differentiate solution of (1) for n≥3, [1]. With the help of this inequality one can characterize Renyi’s entropy [2].We shall state later the Renyi’s result, which will be a special case of the Theorem 3.

In this paper, we are concerned with the functional inequality1where 0 < Pi < l, 0 < qi < l, fi(p)≠0, for 0 < P < 1, (i = 1, 2,..., n) and n is a fixed positive integer, n ≥ 2.Inequality (1) was studied by Rényi and Fischer, (see [1], [3]) in the special case2and this provided a characterization of Rényi's entropy.

A class A for which there is an infinite progression of classes A1, A2, … (not necessarily all distinct) such thatis said to be groundless. A class which is not groundless is said to be grounded. Let K be the class of all grounded classes.Let us assume that K is a groundless class. Then there is an infinite progression of classes A1, A2, … such thatSince A1 ϵ K, A1 is a grounded class; sinceA1 is also a groundless class. But this is impossible.Therefore K is a grounded class. Hence K ϵ K, and we haveTherefore K is also a groundless class.This paradox forms a sort of triplet with the paradox of the class of all non-circular classes and the paradox of the class of all classes which are not n-circular (n a given natural number). The last of the three includes as a special case the paradox of the class of all classes which are not members of themselves (n = 1).More exactly, a class A1 is circular if there exists some positive integer n and classes A2, A3, …, An such thatFor any given positive integer n, a class A1 is n-circular if there are classes A2, …, An, such thatQuite obviously, by arguments similar to the above, we get a paradox of the class of all non-circular classes and a paradox of the class of all classes which are not n-circular, for each positive integer n.

We study generalized continued fraction expansions of the form $$\begin{eqnarray}\frac{a_{1}}{N}\frac{}{+}\frac{a_{2}}{N}\frac{}{+}\frac{a_{3}}{N}\frac{}{+}\frac{}{\cdots },\end{eqnarray}$$ where $N$ is a fixed positive integer and the partial numerators $a_{i}$ are positive integers for all $i$ . We call these expansions $\operatorname{dn}_{N}$ expansions and show that every positive real number has infinitely many $\operatorname{dn}_{N}$ expansions for each $N$ . In particular, we study the $\operatorname{dn}_{N}$ expansions of rational numbers and quadratic irrationals. Finally, we show that every positive real number has, for each $N$ , a $\operatorname{dn}_{N}$ expansion with bounded partial numerators.

For graphs $F$ and $G$ an $F$-matching in $G$ is a subgraph of $G$ consisting of pairwise vertex disjoint copies of $F$. The number of $F$-matchings in $G$ is denoted by $s(F,G)$. We show that for every fixed positive integer $m$ and every fixed tree $F$, the probability that $s(F,\mathcal{T}_n) \equiv 0 \pmod{m}$, where $\mathcal{T}_n$ is a random labeled tree with $n$ vertices, tends to one exponentially fast as $n$ grows to infinity. A similar result is proven for induced $F$-matchings. As a very special special case this implies that the number of independent sets in a random labeled tree is almost surely a zero residue. A recent result of Wagner shows that this is the case for random unlabeled trees as well.

It was proved by Weyl [8] in 1916 that the sequence of values of αn2 is uniformly distributed modulo 1, for any fixed real irrational α. Indeed this result covered sequences αnd for any fixed positive integer exponent d. However Weyl's work leaves open a number of questions concerning the finer distribution of these sequences. It has been conjectured by Rudnick, Sarnak and Zaharescu [6] that the fractional parts of αn2 will have a Poisson distribution provided firstly that α is “Diophantine”, and secondly that if a/q is any convergent to α then the square-free part of q is q1+o(1). Here one says that α is Diophantine if one has (1.1) for every rational number a/q and any fixed ϵ > 0. In particular every real irrational algebraic number is Diophantine. One would predict that there are Diophantine numbers α for which the sequence of convergents pn/qn contains infinitely many squares amongst the qn. If true, this would show that the second condition is independent of the first. Indeed one would expect to find such α with bounded partial quotients.

Throughout the paper n denotes a fixed positive integer unless otherwise specified. Let B = Bn denote the open unit ball of ℂn and let S = Sn denote its boundary, the unit sphere. The unique rotation-invariant probability measure on 5 will be denoted by σ = σn. For n = l, we use more customary notations D = B1, T = S1 and dσ1= dθ/2π. The Hardy space on B, denoted by H2(B), is then the space of functions f holomorphic on B for which

In a recent note(1) I proved that if μ(n) denotes the usual Möbius function, N denotes a fixed positive integer and ifthenwhere T runs through all natural numbers ≤ x which are not divisible by an Nth power. In the present paper I shall establish some further relations of this character and, in particular, I shall prove that ifwherethenThus, in some respects, L(x) appears more regular than M(x), the sum over L(x/T) being multiplicative, whereas M(x1/N) is not.
