Sheremeta. Bounded l-index and l-M-index and compositions of analytic functions, Mat. Stud. 48 (2017), 180–188. We partially proved a conjecture from Mat. Stud. 47 (2017), no.2, 207{210: for an entire function f the function H(z) = f(1=(1−z)n), n 2 N, is of bounded l-index in C n f0g with l(jzj) = β=(1 − jzj)n+1, β > 1, if and only if f is of bounded index. Also the boundedness of l-M- index of the function H is investigated. For arbitrary entire functions f and g the boundedness of the l-M-index of the function F (z) = f(g(z)) is studied with respect to boundedness of the 0 fj j j j g M-index of a function f with l(r) = Mg(r);Mg(r) = max g(z) : z = r : 1. Introduction. In the paper, we consider compositions of such types H(z)=f((1−z)−n); n 2 N; and F (z) = f(g(z)); where f and g are entire functions. There are presented investi- gations of boundedness of l-index and l-M-index for these composite functions, where l is a positive continuous function in some domain G ⊆ C: We need some definitions and notations. Let G be an arbitrary domain in C and l be a positive and continuous function in G such that for all z 2 G β l(z) > ; β = const > 1: (1) distfz; @Gg An analytic function f in G is said ([17, 21]) to be of bounded l-index if there exists N 2 Z+ such that for all n 2 Z+ and z 2 G { } jf (n)(z)j jf (k)(z)j ≤ max : 0 ≤ k ≤ N : (2) n!ln(z) k!lk(z) The least such integer is called the l-index of f and is denoted by N(f; l; G).

  • A Turbulent Year for Ukraine Urbulent Was the Way to Describe 2009 for Ukraine, Which Plunged Into Financial Crisis
    No. 3 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JANUARY 17, 2010 5 2009: THE YEAR IN REVIEW A turbulent year for Ukraine urbulent was the way to describe 2009 for Ukraine, which plunged into financial crisis. No other European country suffered as much as TUkraine, whose currency was devalued by more than 60 percent since its peak of 4.95 hrv per $1 in August 2008. In addition, the country’s industrial production fell by 31 percent in 2009. Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko con- fronted the challenge of minimizing the crisis fallout, while at the same time campaigning for the 2010 presi- dential elections. Her critics attacked her for pursuing populist policies, such as increasing wages and hiring more government staff, when the state treasury was broke as early as the spring. Ms. Tymoshenko herself admitted that her gov- ernment would not have been able to make all its pay- ments without the help of three tranches of loans, worth approximately $10.6 billion, provided by the International Monetary Fund. Her critics believe that instead of borrowing money, Ms. Tymoshenko should have been introducing radical reforms to the Ukrainian economy, reducing government waste, eliminating out- dated Soviet-era benefits and trimming the bureaucracy. The year began with what is becoming an annual tra- Offi cial Website of Ukraine’s President dition in Ukraine – a natural gas conflict provoked by the government of Russian Federation Prime Minister President Viktor Yushchenko and Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko at the heated February 10 meeting of Vladimir Putin.
